Amazon released a new DVD trailer for the extended Blu-ray edition of Half-Blood Prince, in the trailer we see short clips of the behind the scenes segments with Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Matthew Lewis, Alfie Enoch and more.
HP4U, one of the best Harry Potter sites for exclusive filming news, has added an AWESOME set report from the Wedding Scene to their site! You may read the whole thing by going here to the site! I’ve also added some photos they posted to the gallery, we see more from Luna’s house and the Burrow!
Fleur (played by French actress Clemence Poesy) was radiant in a sleeveless cream dress that rolled off her like velvet waves onto the floor beneath her. On the front of the dress, embroidered in black lace were the images of two phoenixes which are just stunning and the reverse of the dress is equally as wonderful, of which, I might just show you a photo or two before the film is released!
The Weasley boys were of course quite interested in the bridesmaids, whispering amongst themselves and eyeing up the ladies approvingly. One of them had bandages wrapped around his head, indicating he had likely been in a recent battle and come out worse for wear. Adding to his chagrin was the fact that Ron had drawn a fake ear on the bandage, in place of where the real one would otherwise have been jutting up into the air.
Later on, Hermione herself strolled out onto the dance floor with a partner, oblivious to the fact that Ron was watching her the entire time, quite upset, and no doubt jealous that she would dance with another. After the dance had ended, her partner quickly disappeared, being distracted by one or more of the bridesmaids it would seem, leaving Hermione alone and somewhat embarrassed on the dance floor. As she scanned the room for where Ron was seated (and she, Ron, and Harry, had been kept apart for much of the planning and festivities), Ron quickly turned his back to her so she wouldn’t see him watching her. He then rose to his feet, glanced coolly over his shoulder back at her, and made his way from the tent. Hermione was further embarrassed by this, knowing as she must have that Ron had seen her dancing with another. She bowed her head, then turned on a dime, her bright red dress swirling around her, and walked away. Where did she go you wonder? I’m afraid that will remain a secret for now.
As the dancing reaches its peak, we see first Lupin and then Harry make appearances into the wedding tent, though both are largely ignored by the guests at large. This is the point when the madness begins. A strange glowing ball of light (Patronus) appears, and from it, a dire warning in a deathly voice “The Ministry has fallen. Scrimgeour is dead. They are coming.”

Thanks to SnitchSeeker we have a lot of fun photos and information from the Harry Potter: The Exhibit press event that was held today. Head over to the Lewis Lovers gallery to see photos of Matthew at the event! Matt said the following at the event:
I was stunned. I’d heard about the exhibit in Chicago, but I had no idea about the size and scale. It was incredible and it was really wind-y and mazelike. You turn a corner and don’t know what to expect. It took me back to Leavesden when I was 11 and you’d walk into the Great Hall or Chamber of Secrets – it reminded me of that. When the door first opens and the Hogwarts Express is there – the kids’ll love it! What I hope is that they get to experience a little bit of what we do there (on set).
He also talked a bit about Deathly Hallows:
I got the script – fourth draft – of Part Two and I’ve no idea how we’re gonna do it. The scale of it is enormous. We’ve got some pretty incredible scenes to shoot.
I start next week. Neville is a bloody and battered resistance leader – a battle hardened veteran. A bit gung ho.
“I’ve definitely grown up with Neville, grown in confidence and maturity as the character has,” he said.
Lewis was 11 years old when he started playing Neville in the first Potter film. He’s now 20, and about to begin filming the final chapter in the series. When asked if he will miss playing Neville he said, “Absolutely, Neville’s been a huge part of my life. And not just the character, all the people, the studio, the cast and crew, that sort of safety net of Harry Potter really. It’s been a magical world I’ve been a part of.”
Rupert Grint’s movies are on a roll! ICM has just announced that his other new film, Wild Target, has gotten International Distribution!
Protagonist Pictures has taken international rights to Rupert Grint’s film Wild Target! Not only that but we have learned a few other things. The movie will be shown at the American Film Market (as you recall, Cherrybomb will also be shown there) but also has distribution deals in France, Portugal, The Middle East, and CIS & Baltic. Again Entertainment Film Distributors will handle the UK release while Cinetic will be handling North American rights! You can read about everything here.
For those of you that forgot what the movie is about here is a description:
Wild Target stars Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt, Rupert Grint and Rupert Everett. The screenplay has been adapted by Lucinda Coxon, based on Pierre Salvadori’s French hit Cible Émouvante. It is produced by Martin Pope and Michael Rose of Magic Light Pictures.
Blunt plays Rose, a beautiful, quick-witted con-artist, who makes money selling fake paintings. When she scams an art loving gangster (Rupert Everett), he sets Europe’s most efficient and expensive assassin (Nighy) on her tail.
