Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Don't get mad at Daniel Radcliffe just yet, as he didn't know about the shift in release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince until only a day before the rest of us.
Daniel Radcliffe Talks Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
The good people at SnitchSeeker have re-posted snippets from an interview between Daniel Radcliffe and TimesTalk. Here are some highlights:
- About Half-Blood Prince Dan says that the parts with Dumbledore and Voldemort are the darkest, while the scenes with Ron are the funniest yet; he also mentions that Jessie Cave (Lavender Brown) was really great to work with.
- Dan addressed how Emma Watson was hesitant about signing up for the final films, and her reason for doing so was not because she did not want to, but because of her education and the need to evaluate what her options were, especially since the last Harry Potter films would require another three years of their lives. Emma chose not to rush into the decision, but her reason was not because she did not want to.
- He said with Deathly Hallows, he is looking forward to the walk through the forest (chapter 34), rather than the fighting sequences; and that in the script for the film Sirius is in it, so there is a chance he will have another scene with Gary Oldman.
Take another look at that last statement posted above. If you have read the final Potter installment, then you already know how important this scene is to the story. Written beautifully by Rowling, one can sum it up as poetry.
No joke. Probably one of the five most memorable scenes from all seven books.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince opens to theaters July 17, 2009.
