Thought I would post a reminder of all the television appearances I know of for the cast during Half-Blood Prince promotion! If you know of any that I have missed be sure to comment so I can update the post. Make sure to check your local listings to be sure of the time!
Before I poste the new Rupert interview be sure to check out the Emma Watson wallpaper I made with premiere photos (let me know what you think)!
Time Out New York has posted a new interview with Rupert Grint!
Getting any good souvenirs from the set?
I got a few things over the years. I have a tie. The Gryffindor tie. I’ve never really been given anything, but maybe at the end of this one we’ll get to keep a wand or something.
You know, you could slay women here with your accent and soft-spoken ways.
Yeah, you say that, but people tend to think I’m Australian over there. But I guess the English accent is quite popular there as well.
Would you rather be the hero or the sidekick, generally speaking?
I’ve always liked the character of Ron. He was my favorite when I was reading the books. I’ve always felt a kind of connection to him, because I’ve found certain similarities between us. Just little things, like us both being ginger, and I have a few brothers and sisters as well. I thought he was funny in the books as well. So, yeah, it doesn’t bother me.
Warner Bros. has unveiled a fun new website, MuggleHub! There you can find videos, screensavers, buddy icons, wallpapers, web banners, posters and a profile picture generator!

The LA Times has posted an interview with composer Nicholas Hooper.
DM: You’ve known and worked with David Yates for the last 19 years. How did you feel about taking on a project as big and well-known as the “Harry Potter” movies? NH: I was already a fan of Harry Potter from the books. When the first films came out I had to go watch them, of course, and I thought I’d love to do one. Then David told me he was going to do one and I nearly fell over backwards because I didn’t expect it at all. David had done political thrillers and those kinds of things, so this was something quite different.
DM: How were you able to put your own stamp on the score when four movies had already been done with a more or less established sound? NH: I started by listening to a lot of the John Williams score, particularly from the third movie, “Prisoner of Azkaban,” which I loved and I suppose is closest to what I was trying to do. I used some of his themes, particularly his Hedwig theme. After that, we all decided that it was best if I moved into my own way of composing rather than trying to emulate John Williams, which is impossible. I did a different kind of score for “Half-Blood Prince,” really. It was simpler, the way I write music is simpler.
I’ve found a bunch of videos from the Half-Blood Prince premiere on youtube! I will update this post as I find them! (unless I post something else after this) For videos (well sound clips with photos) of Bonnie, Jason Isaacs, Dan, Emma, James and Oliver, and Robbie go to this channel! I’ve made a playlist and you can view it below!
