Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is one of the semifinalists of films in consideration for a VFX Oscar. This list will be narrowed to seven finalists for the Oscars which will be announced Tuesday, February 2, 2010.
Thanks to Oclumencia I have added a few new High Resolution Behind the Scenes photos from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. You can view the photos, here in the gallery!
Scholastic recently interviewed Tom Felton and Bonnie Wright and they discussed, you guess it, Harry Potter!
Q: How would you describe J.K. Rowling? Bonnie: I always find it so surreal meeting her. This whole world literally is because of one person. Tom: She’s a very unassuming down-to-earth lady, the most lovely lady. I was always taken away by how genuine she seemed, and how unaffected by the fact that she’s probably the world’s biggest author.
Q: Do you both have all the Harry Potter movies at home? Do you watch them from time to time?
Bonnie: Yeah, we’re always given lots and lots of copies every time they come out. Tom: Yeah, plenty of DVDs. It’s cool. They play it on TV so much, I swear. It’s just kind of weird looking back at yourself when you were [high voice] speaking like this [normal voice] and then you were that tall. Bonnie: We should have a little movie marathon. Tom: Yeah, one day. Bonnie: Maybe in like twenty years or something. Tom: Yeah. I’ve never actually sat down and properly watched them from start to finish. It might be kind of cool one day.
Back in August it was confirmed that Harry Melling and Richard Griffiths would be returning as Dudley and Vernon Dursley in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.TimesOnline has confirmed that Fiona Shaw will be returning to play Petunia.
Oh, and there are the last Harry Potters to film. It’s a breathless schedule and she barely draws breath relating it, or much else, during our lunch. Thoughts and words flit, germinate, scatter.
