| | |  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.

Omigoodness. I cannot believe this. A romantic comedy?! What the heck does David Yates think he's doing? That's horrible! The romance between Ginny and Harry is supposed to be a sub-plot! *Yells with frustration and pulls on hair*

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. You are definitely right about the thing with scene cuts. I hate when people get all spazzy about stuff like that. People work hard to do this. (I'm jealous. Friends in the movie business? *Steals chocolate with randomness*

well sounds like they're gonna be quite accurate with the Harry/Ginny interpretation of their love story. thats a good thing i suppose.
but i dont mean to knock the romantics out there, but i've always felt that HBP was a bit of wasted space with the love stories JKR put in. those pages would've been better served by developing the multiple plot lines in DH so that the last book didnt suffer from structural problems like it did.

That really doesn't thrill me. I think the films should look darker and darker until the end. I think I'm going to be disappointed...again

Hmm. I'm excited. I just hope they don't ruin the movie. The 6th book is my favorite. | |

People should just embrace the new added scene, instead of whining about it. I mean, we don't even know how it looks like yet! So we shouldn't complain. When we actually SEE it, then we can be pee oh'd; I mean, the people who complain about it might even like it! I don`t see why people are so mad about this.

There has been a 'scene' added to each of the movies and a 'scene' changed in each of the movies. Why are they complaining now. If you don't want to 'see' any changes then don't watch the movie. and I will say again go watch the behind the scenes segments on all your HP DVD's. You will then understand more about the movie making process.

Friends in the movie business? *Steals chocolate with randomness* Yes I have friends in the movie industry. My best friend Jenny works as a production assistant. In other words, she is a gofer We live in Wilmington, North Carolina. One Tree Hill and Dawson's Creek were both filmed here and they are filming Whittaker Bay here now. The movies Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood and 28 Days with Sandra Bullock in both of them were both filmed here. It's quite common to go downtown and have the streets closed down for filming.

Movie #1 Hagrid took Harry to the train station.
Books- Harry is told he has his mother's green eyes.
Movies- Harry is told that he has his mother's eyes.
Book #5 Describes Voldemorts has red snake like eyes.
Movie #5 Voldemort just has snake like nose
Ect. ect. ect.
my point is that no movie is 100% true to the books. It is not possible. All the Harry Potter movies have been slightly different then the books. Everyone who thinks different either needs to read the books and stay away from the movies or vice versa. Or just enjoy both. I think both the movies and the books are great. I show the first movie before I ever read the books. That just made them so much better. Please go watch the behind the scenes segments on all the DVD's. You can learn so much.
