| | |  Dan Radcliffe talks Half-Blood Prince in new interview (UPDATED)
The Sun reports that in a new interview with Empire Magazine, Daniel Radcliffe compares Half-Blood Prince to the 1996 film Trainspotting: Quote:
“There’s a fair amount of sexual energy and drug parallels. We have a couple of Trainspotting moments.
“That’s two films I never thought would be mentioned in the same breath.”
There is a brief comment from director David Yates, who talks about the opening sequence of the sixth film: Quote:
“We’re opening with a big attack. We’ll bring a major London landmark crashing down.”
The article also has a new photo of Dan attached, which can be seen in our galleries: 
Thanks to Amy and Rose for the tip! UPDATE: The Mirror has an extended comment from the one Dan was quoted as saying in the above-mentioned article: Quote:
"There is a fair amount of sexual energy and there are some drug parallels. We have a couple of what David Yates, the director calls our 'Trainspotting moments'.
"There's a great balance. The light parts are lighter than before, and the dark parts are extremely dark."

maybe it's the big ben, or the tower bridge, or the london eye?
It's the millennium bridge. Which, y'know, would not have been around in 1996-1997  Quote:
Hopefully with Dan doing Equus we'll get a lot more interviews that give us information about Half-Blood Prince.
I think this has got more to do with the teaser report embargo being lifted which can mean only one thing...trailer...

Well! I think the expression Sex and drug is so much over..I mean, may be I like love is in the air as some one ( i don't remember her name ) described the book. The movie is different of course but I think relation ships won't go so far. There will be kisses Yes but now every movie contains kissing scenes.

And in OOTP when Harry and Ron go into the Common Room and The Ordinary Boys are playing. I'm pretty sure that song wasn't around in 1995-1996 lol. Quote:

We all know the landmark will be the Millenium Bridge because of the filming which took place and. because the book opens up with the destruction of a bridge. With regards to the report on Dan's interview comparing Harry to Trainspotting unless I read it myself or Dan confirms what he said at the interview I don't beleive what the Sun said

Yes, the films definitely don't follow canon chronology. Except they did when they showed Tom Riddle's (senior) grave. It's odd. Quote:

They won't. Such a scene just would not work very well on screen. Way too much exposition. Quote:

Nobody's saying there will be sex scenes | |
