Veritaserum is reporting that an actor named Louis Cordice, is listed as being cast as Blaise Zabini in Half-Blood Prince at the Jackie Palmer Agency.

You can see a photo of him HERE!

This has not been confirmed by Warner Brothers yet, but I will post if/when they do.  I think he looks pretty good for Blaise myself. Anyone else?

MTV has a new interview with Toby Jones, who voiced Dobby in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. There are SPOILERS so don’t continue reading this if you haven’t read Deathly Hallows (soon I am gonna stop this spoiler business since everyone should have read by now).

“I can only take a certain amount of credit for inhabiting Dobby, because clearly these brilliant people at Industrial Light and Magic have created Dobby and I just voiced the character,” he humbly confessed. “[But] am always amazed and flattered at how much that character has endured even though he hasn’t been in any films for a while. Every time a book comes out people phone me, and write to me from around the world saying ‘He’s in! He is in!’”

Of course, he HASN’T been in the movies, not since “Chamber of Secrets” anyway. But there may be no way around including him in “Deathly Hallows,” thinks Jones, not now that he has what Jones calls a “tragic hero death [amid] a string of tragic deaths.”

So if they came calling?

“I think it certainly would be fun to do his death,” Jones said, a wry smile across his face. “It would be fun.”

There is a new interview with Kenneth Branagh who played Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

“It would have been nice to have been in [Phoenix]. He was quite a popular character, Lockhart. There was no one quite like him,” Branagh said. “[But they never called] to my deep disappointment.”

“I was in the running to direct the one that Alfonso Cuaron did [”Prisoner of Azkaban”]. It was while I was working on the second one,” he revealed. “They all felt for a minute, maybe it’d be great if Ken did one. It didn’t work out. It would have been interesting.

“I think they’ve now just got such a great bunch in the stable between Newell, Cuaron, Yates, and Columbus that they’ll probably choose from the ones that have already done one,” he said, squashing any chance he’ll come back. “[And they’ll] do very nicely indeed.”

Sean Biggerstaff, who played Oliver Wood in the first two Harry Potter films, was named “Best Actor” yesterday at the Bafta Scotland awards for his role in the UK television film “Consenting Adults.” You can see the rest of the winners at The Scotsman.  There is also a quote from Sean:

“I only got the job two days before we started, but it was a pleasure to work on. This is really just the cherry on the cake.”

Robbie Coltrane, who plays Hagrid in the Harry Potter films was also in attendence.

The complete cast list for the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie has been released this morning. Ralph Fiennes’s nine-year-old nephew, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, will be playing the role of young Tom Riddle at age 11, and 16-year-old Frank Dillane is playing the teenage Riddle.

Once again heading the cast, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson are reprising their roles as young wizards Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, who are facing new challenges and dangers in the wake of Lord Voldemort’s return. They will be reunited with returning Harry Potter cast members, including Helena Bonham Carter, David Bradley, Robbie Coltrane, Warwick Davis, Tom Felton, Michael Gambon, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Natalia Tena, Julie Walters and David Thewlis, as well as Evanna Lynch, Matthew Lewis and Bonnie Wright.

Two award-winning actors are joining the film’s all-star cast in their first Harry Potter film. Academy Award winner Jim Broadbent (“Iris,” “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”) has been set to play Potions Professor Horace Slughorn, who gives Harry an old Potions textbook that had once belonged to the Half-Blood Prince, which proves invaluable to the young wizard. Award-winning actress Helen McCrory (“Becoming Jane,” “The Queen”) will play Narcissa Malfoy, mother to Draco Malfoy and sister to the evil Bellatrix Lestrange.

Additionally, several young newcomers will be making their feature film debuts in “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” Jessie Cave has won the role of Lavender Brown, who has eyes for Ron Weasley. Nine-year-old Hero Fiennes Tiffin is playing the role of the young Tom Riddle at age 11, while 16-year-old Frank Dillane is playing the teenage Riddle, who is already on the path to becoming the evil Lord Voldemort.
