| | |  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.

This will be by far, the best movie of them all. ( I think.) I wonder if it's awkward for Harry and Ginny to do all that kissing when it's all an act. anyway....... SO EXCITED!!!!!

Their relationship is NOT akward though. They are very natural and calm together in the books. And ron doesn't really interfere until after they break up.
And Bonnie was in the first movie as well. Not a very acurate article.

I so agree with you. that harry got his strengh from the love of friends. And in the seventh book Ginny is the last thing Harry thinks about and thats what helped him. He loved her. So I agree with what your saying here.
So can't wait for HBP

Is this "new scene" the scene with the Burrow that we heard about?
I thought in that too.
I'm so excited about H/G

I don't mind the extra scene that much. It's only one scene.

I have friends in the movie industry, there is only one way to keep a book true and that would be a mini-series. For a book to movie, cuts have to be made. A movie is only about 2 hours long. This is the reason that Deathly Hallows will be two movies because the cuts neeeded would make it a incomplete story line.
All of you who do not understand, need to start watching disc 2 of all your Harry Potter DVD's. They have some great interviews with JK Rowling and Steve Kloves and also with the directors and other production staff. They describe what can stay from book to movie and what must be cut and why.

Finally someone who gets it. I totally agree with you.

I understand that alot of these comments come from those who are young and do not understand the movie industry. I live in Wilmington, North Carolina where a lot of movies and tv shows are filmed. I have friends in this industry and It is hard.
I always watch the 'behind the scenes' segments because I know what goes into the movies. A two minute scene can actually take a couple of days to get right. And what works in a book can be a flop in a movie.

All I can say to this is...
1. stop reading the books first.
or
2. Don't watch the movie.
There is no book that has been made into a movie the is 100% true. Not even 75% true. Even the movies that come out first and then a book is made from it are different. You need to trust JK Rowling in these choices about the movie. She has approved each one and this is her story not anyone elses. If any one thinks that they can write a better book or movie script, then do it and please quit complaining. Writing books and screenplays are harder then you think. That is why JK Rowling is the author and we are the fans. :smash:

They always upset me with their translation of the books into the movies. Hopefully they don't mess this up too badly.
