MTV has a new interview with Emma and Rupert where they talk about Quidditch.

“She definitely disagrees with Harry putting the Felix Felicis in Ron’s drink because it’s the equivalent of taking steroids before a match or for athletics,” Watson explained. “She really disagrees with it, but then she finds out that Harry’s actually been smarter than her and it’s all a psychological thing.”  That’s because Harry doesn’t actually put the potion in his drink — Ron just assumes he’s been dosed and thus plays spectacularly. “It’s kind of like a placebo drink,” Watson said. “So it’s all OK in the end.”

For Grint, who plays Harry’s buddy Ron, “Half-Blood Prince” gave the actor his first opportunity to engage in some cinematic Quidditch. “I was actually really gutted last year because that is sort of Ron’s big Quidditch moment and I was really upset they didn’t have that in [‘Order of the Phoenix’],” he said. “I was really looking forward to doing it this time, but it’s actually sort of an anticlimax because it’s really hard work. You’re on a broom for a long time, like a few hours at a go,” Grint grinned. “You’re literally sitting on a broom and it gets a little bit sore down under a bit. It’s been fun, but it’s quite hard work.”

We finally have an air date for ITV’s Behind the Magic Special on Harry Potter!  This program is set to air Saturday, July 11 7:00pm – 8:00pm on ITV1. Thanks to TLC we now know that it will include include “exclusive clips of Harry’s first kiss with his new girlfriend, Ginny Weasley, Ron Weasley’s sister, and Daniel Radcliffe talks about filming the scenes and how Harry handles going out with his best friend’s sister.”

E! News aired a few behind-the-scenes clips from Half-Blood Prince, including Lavender wishing Ron luck at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall, and Quidditch tryouts outdoors with Harry and Ron. Thanks to SS for the video. If anyone gets a better quality one, send it in!

I have found a few new Half-Blood Prince photos.  One is of Lavender Brown, another of Luna Lovegood and the other of Tom Felton (as Draco) and David Yates behind the scenes.  See the photos, here in the gallery.

MySpace has posted an exclusive new clip from Half-Blood Prince.  I didn’t watch the whole thing, because I don’t want to be too spoiled when I see the movie, but the clip is the scene they added at the Burrow with Bellatrix Lestrange. Enjoy!
