Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) and James & Oliver Phelps (Fred & George Weasley) participated in a roundtable interview in Milan, Italy today to promote Half-Blood Prince.  You can see photos over at SnitchSeeker and videos here.

Thanks Hogwarts Site.

Today we now know that Matthew Lewis and Bonnie Wright will be joining Evanna Lynch at the Polish Half-Blood Prince premiere.  Evanna announced that she would be going earlier this week.  The premiere will be held on July 20th.  Bonnie and Matt will be in Poland on the 21st as well.

I will post more about the premiere when it is announced! Thanks SS!

Warner Brothers Switzerland have confirmed that the Zurich screening will take place on July 10th at around 6pm local time at the Arena Filmcity.  Matthew Lewis and Evanna Lynch will be in attendance!

A competition to attend the premiere is still open, here.

Irish Central has a new interview with Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) during which she talks about Half-Blood Prince, mentioning that her promotional work will take her to Denmark and Poland.  She also discusses school, the set and more!

“My life really hasn’t changed as much as you’d imagine. I mean, more people recognize you, and in Ireland that’s especially true because it’s so small. Over there everyone knows you,” she says.

“Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” is without doubt the darkest chapter of the whole J.K. Rowling series, and in it Luna remains steadfast as both a defender of the wizarding world and as a comfort to Harry in his darkest hour. Lynch says the new film remains faithful to the book and her character.

“Maybe I shouldn’t say this, because it might get me in trouble. But there’s this big thing among people who are fans of the books. It’s a thing they do as fans called ‘shipping,’ which is short for relationship. The fans create ideal pair ups based on the books. There are some really crazy ones. I don’t know if I should say. But some people think Luna and Professor Dumbledore would make a great pair in another universe. I mean obviously he’s far too old for her, but their personalities completely match. They’re calm and accepting and quirky and I think they’re both really creative. I’d say they’d be fun together.”

Thanks TLC!

According to DanRadcliffe.de,  Matt Lewis (Neville) and Evanna Lynch (Luna) will be attending a Half-Blood Prince premiere next month in Zurich, Switzerland.  The date has not been announced yet but I will let you know when it has.

There is also a contest for fans to attend the special screening, with a competition offering two premiere tickets. The contest will be open until July 2nd; go here to enter!

Belgium’s Jommeke newspaper visited the Half-Blood Prince set early last year, where they spoke to Jim Broadbent (Slughorn) and Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid), and watched a scene being filmed for the sixth movie.   You can see scans here.

• The Belgium premiere for Half-Blood Prince will take place on Saturday, July 11, which Bonnie Wright and Evanna Lynch will be attending.

• Although not confirmed yet, it appears that Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson will only attend the UK premiere for the sixth movie (on July 7th), and no other because of their busy Deathly Hallows film schedule. [THIS IS FALSE, all three will be at the NYC premiere, thanks Jo]

• Jim Broadbent talks about how pleased his grandchildren are that he has taken a role in the Harry Potter films, playing Slughorn. He discusses his character, stating that he is not really bad, just a weak person. Slughorn has a wall of photos with himself and celebrated students; the Potions professor also finds it a treat to teach the famous Harry Potter.

• Robbie Coltrane jokes about his three young co-stars, Dan, Rupert and Emma, where he proudly states that fame and fortune has not go to their head, and that they don’t believe they are any better than anyone else on set.

• The tour guide, Amy, explains how Quidditch in the sixth film will be bigger than it previously has been; she also shows the reporters around Dumbledore’s office and tells them that the famed Astronomy Tower scene took place a week before their arrival.

• The reporters describe the scene they are privileged to watch, which includes Dan, Rupert and Emma, heavily layered in clothing as they walk down a snowy path to Hagrid. Emma and Dan point out the mistakes they make during their takes, of which there are nine before the scene is complete. Between takes, however, Dan and Rupert are noted to throw off their coats as the set is hot, and are eager to go back to Rupert’s dressing room and play a game of ping pong. A comment from Dan is published at the end, where he says that filming can get tiring, and that it will be strange to no longer play Harry after Deathly Hallows has completed.

Thanks SS!
