There 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 websiteUPDATE: 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 Azkabanwill 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.
So. Are we allowed to link to the older set of Yarn photos now? The ones we were told were fake? I bet they were the mock ups/protrotypes for this set.
Woah…the women that plays Sofie (who the heck is sophie?) looks really old..how can she play a student! Same with that Dean guy. They look soooo much older than the rest of the cast!
GIVE_ME_THE_TRAILER! I must see extra clips!!!! There needs to be pivotal, dramatic scenes, without any spoilers, Snape, Harry and Ginny kissing, Snape, a really exciting feel, Snape, characters saying important things, Snape, and Evil Force by X-Ray Dog as the music! Oh, and did I mention Snape? I would love that as a trailer!
I don’t think anyone will read this post.. but i’m posting it anyway..
Sofie isn’t supposed to be a Hogwarts Student..
Her playing age is 28..
I think she will be playing a Muggle..
Something in the PM’s Boardroom?
Someone reminded me of news we got a long time ago, about the opening scene being with all this chaos and a bridge collapsing..
well that might be the opening scene and then we see the Boardroom with the Prime Minister and this Sofie.. and maybe.. just maybe ^^.. when everyone’s left the boardroom Scrimgoeur will come walking in :D
Mad-Eye Moody was sniffing at a chicken leg with what remained of his nose; evidently he could not detect any trace of poison, because he then tore a strip off it with his teeth.
Hm, if these are real it looks like they tried to age Tonks a bit, or at least make her look a bit more mature. MUST. HAVE. TRAILER.
