In lieu of Half-Blood Prince trailer news, BBC is feeding our craving by providing some interesting video shots of Leavesden Studios via helicopter. Leavesden has been used to film most interior and exterior Potter scenes since the beginning of the franchise.
The aerial shots provide a glimpse at several outdoor sets, including Privet Drive, Hagrid’s Hut, the Hogwarts Express - Hogwarts station, an entrance to Hogwarts, and one end of a Quidditch pitch.
Additionally, there are several sets that cannot be identified from recognition in past Potter films. Possibilities include the Gaunt’s House (CBBC’s guess), a part of The Orphanage, and The Burrow.
Natalia Tena Talks About Her Role in Half-Blood Prince
Monday, May 5th, 2008
Trish from SnitchSeeker.com was at Collectormania 13 in England and spoke with Natalia Tena, who plays Tonks in Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince. Tena revealed that she has completed filming for HBP:
The only scene Natalia has filmed for the movie, isn’t actually in the book at all. She was only on set for the part where Death Eaters attack the Burrow at Christmas (where Harry & the Weasleys are present). She said that none of the angst of her character is there - indeed, she and Lupin are just suddenly a couple when they meet there.
According to United Agents, actress Suzanne Toase is currently filming her role as Alecto Carrow for the sixth Harry Potter film. It is yet unknown whether she’ll reprise the role in Deathly Hallows.
Two additional roles for the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince have apparently been cast. The part of Regulus Black, death eater and younger brother of Sirius Black, will be portrayed by young actor Tom Moorcroft according to this page at Spotlight.com(click for additional photos of the actor).UK Castingcall pro also reveals that Charlie Bennison will be seen in the part of Sanguini the Vampire, who as readers will recall, is a guest at Slughorn’s dinner party.
No formal announcement has yet been made on these latest possible additions.
