"Half-Blood Prince" News: The Return of Opal Yarn Images, New Casting and More
HBP FilmThere are a few pieces of news related to the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince yet today. First, readers will recall previously there was a purported ad promoting the sixth Harry Potter film seen on container for yarn of all things. Although a few of these images also appeared on the Opal yarn website, WB told us the cardboard stand marketing was a fake. Today, thanks to our Order partner RupertGrint.net, we know that same yarn company has now uploaded eight new images of yarn, with labels featuring cast members and clearly marked Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in German. These images show Harry and Ron, Lupin, Malfoy, Dumbledore and more. You can see them here at the yarn website UPDATE: You can also see them here in our galleries. In addition, we have also contacted WB again regarding this manner, and of course, will update with more as soon as we can.
Casting news for Half-Blood Prince also continues to trickle out. TLC reader Lisette emailed to say she spotted several new casting mentions for extras in the film, including an actress named Teresa Mahoney who will be playing “Sofie (Boardroom -Opening Scene).” While we had heard rumors that the opening scene with the Other Minister was to be cut, we are uncertain as to what this may mean.Other casting include Dean Garnham as a Slytherin student, and Daniel Barnett as a “Slughorn Ball Graduate.”
Finally, ABC Family has announced that Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban will be re- broadcast on May 24. While rumors are rampant that the teaser trailer for Half-Blood Prince is due soon in theaters, we do not know at this point if any new HBP footage will be broadcast during this show as well. Readers will remember of course, that several times previously new film footage and sneak peeks have aired in previous Harry Potter films showing on ABC family, however we do not know if this will hold true for HBP. We are working to learn more about this, and again will update as soon as we can.

Twilight will be HP! Sorry, but get a new director!!!
starfish, are you looking at the ones at this link? http://community.livejournal.com/hbpmoviepics/21641.html#cutid1
Because those are the pictures I’m talking about, not the ones linked in the article above. The one I think might be of Ginny and Harry is the first one, the one at the very top. Whoever it is with Harry, it’s definitely not Ron, because it’s clearly a girl with long, straight hair. And look again at the one of Ron (third from top); he’s not even wearing his school robes in that picture, so it can’t be the inside of his robes. It still looks to me like the corner of a heart-shaped box. But I could be wrong.
I am such a geek, but I would love to knit Harry Potter blankets. It would be so fun. Yes I think we need Hermione and Mrs. Weasley. Mrs. Weasley knits stuff for EVERONE! Don’t you think?
i think there real cause be the look of it narcissa malfoy is there

“You know what I think – that first set of wool HAVE got fake HBP on them. WB said they were fake at first – when the first set got released. I think the new ones might be the real deal – you can tell by the hair. I think they mocked up the fake wrappers for that yarn conference from old pictures. The new ones look legit now.
I. Want. Wool.
I’m not sure why, I never seem to have time to knit …”
Repeat after me.
THEY. ARE. NOT. FAKE.
Opel uploaded them before WB approved them/wanted them to.
They were on the same Opel site these are on and were taken down by WB.
I saw them with my own eyes on the official Opel site!!!!!!
Here are pictures I took before they were taken down that prove it!
