Warner Bros France have stated that a premiere for Half-Blood Prince will be held in Paris on July 12th at 9:30am at the UGC Cine Cite Bercy. None of the cast will be attending the screening since some have already promoted the movie there.
A two part special for Half-Blood Prince will be airing on Channel Canada next month. The preview, which is called Beyond the Screen: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, will be shown on Saturday July 11 (part one), and July 18 (part two) at 10am EST, and include interviews with stars Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson.
A clear version of the Half-Blood Prince tv advert ‘Poof’, that I posted about a while ago, has been released in high definition, and can be viewed below thanks SS!:
The LA Times has a new interview with Steve Kloves, the screenwriter for all the Potter films except for Order of the Phoenix.
What, if anything, can you say about the climactic moment between Snape and Dumbledore? In the book, it’s a short but intense scene.
It is informed by everything [Potter readers] have come to know is true. So if you watch the film carefully, there are performance moments that are quite extraordinary, Alan Rickman [who plays Snape] especially. There is something we added that you can look forward to, a short scene between Harry and Snape prior to the big event. It’ll be interesting to see how it plays to the audience. It should be a haunting moment for Harry. While I was writing, I just had a notion about a moment between him and Snape, something Harry could look back on and question as to why he didn’t act differently.
Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) and James & Oliver Phelps (Fred & George Weasley) will attend an event in London, England on June 19th when the European Half-Blood Prince tour arrives. The tour features cotumes, props, a video game preview and a chance to be in Deathly Hallows and will be open in Leicester Square from June 18th – June 21st.
