| | |  Dan Radcliffe discusses Harry & Ginny's romance in Half-Blood Prince (UPDATED)
A reporter from the Chilean magazine Wikén spoke to Daniel Radcliffe and director David Yates on the Half-Blood Prince set in the early days of production about Harry and Ginny's budding relationship. HG Network was kind enough to translate the Spanish article into English: Quote:
Against all expectations, the sixth installment of the saga will not be as dark as the previous one. In spite of the tragic end of Harry's mentor, Dumbledore (Michael Gambon), the movie actually revolves around the awkward and comical romance between Harry and Ginny Weasley, sister of Harry's best friend Ron (played by Bonnie Wright, who made her debut in the second installment).
Here is what Radcliffe had to say on this topic: "It's a complex story, it isn't a simple romance because Harry is such a close friend of Ron's, and Ginny is his sister, and Harry feels as if he's walking on eggshells". According to director David Yates, "the fifth [film] was pretty intense, but this one has more comedy in it (...) There are many subtleties in the relationship, and a lot of sexual and emotional tension". The movie also promises a lot of action and magic galore, and it will count with at least one scene that is not in the book.
The reporter also mentions seeing Alan Rickman on-set as Severus Snape the day they visited, as well as the Slug Club party scene: Quote:
In the scene he witnessed during the day of shooting, the new professor in the school of Hogwarts, Horace Slughorn (by British actor Jim Broadbent known for secondary roles in classics like Brazil and Richard III), celebrates a Christmas party in their chambers for students and group walk in groups chatting with the guests, trying to win the favor of their favorite students.
Half-Blood Prince hits cinemas November 21st. UPDATE: DR.com have a full translation of the set report, which contains the following quote about Deathly Hallows; Quote:
"The only problem is that people could think we want to use this last chance to make more money, but the great advantage to do it so is that we won't be fighting the battle of condensing the whole book in a couple of hours that we have fought so far," comments producer David Barron, and points out that both films will be self-standing entities.

I don't like them changing scenes and adding what's not in the book.
I don't think that's right. Stay true to the book plus it's not like its a romance book. Sure there's some tension in there. But not enough to make that the main focus in the movie.
I can't wait to see what other parts they've added.
I want to see what the new teacher looks like in this role. I hope they stayed true to his character!!

Oh c'mon! I really want the film to be dark...I really hope the film's not all about Harry+Ginny, I mean the 6th book is partly about them.

I'm glad that they're going to focus just as much on H/G as they are on R/Hr. While I think most of us consider R/Hr to be the main ship in the series, H/G is really important, and I'm glad they're giving it the focus it deserves.

I think it will be great! One scene that's not in the book will not be a big deal, they did that in OotP, and it made it funnier. I just hope that they keep stuff about tom Riddle's past in it. I'm sure it's going to be terrific! cant wait for it to come out! *makes plans to go to the midnight showing*

Awkward and comical? I don't really think so. I think Ron and Lavender's relationship was awkward and comical

For all who do not believe that the Harry/Ginny romance is not a big deal in the book than you need to reread books 6 and 7. Harry gets his strength and power from the love of his friends. That is the power the Dark Lord does not have. It is what has saved him many times.

That's exciting. I wish they would've used a scene from the book rather than make one up on their own, though.

I can't wait to see all the H/G, but I hope that it doesn't revolve around those two. It's just not right if it's all about Harry and Ginny's "awkwardness" for each other.
Is this "new scene" the scene with the Burrow that we heard about?

My fears have been comfirmed. The movie will revolve around the stupid, contrived, and most definitely not cute 'romance'. Ugh. I'm going to die.
The book isn't even about that! Oh, sure he 'likes' her, but it's about Horcurxes and war. Not some stupid rush of war, oh look at the Mary Sue 'romance'.
-sighs-
She's hardly even in the books. Seriously.
I'm going to die.

I honestly can say that I like the idea of more H/G but that's not how it was written so I'm not to sure about it. It's not supposed to be commical, sure not as much action happens in this book, but it's essential to the seventh book. I agree with whoever said that HBP is supposed to have more R/HR/Lav, not H/G. Still excited about it though and I can't wait till November!

Gross! I was looking forward to the Harry/Ginny scene in the common room, but I hope the film doesn't revolve around it. Quote:
and it will count with at least one scene that is not in the book.
I bet that's the one where Dan jumped off a burning building.
