Casting Call Pro has now updated Lord Johnpaul Castrianni’s CV page. It shows that he will be Death Eater Yaxley in the HBP.

BH: Have you already shot scenes of Half-Blood Prince? In which scenes are you present?

LJC: My scenes were filmed several months ago and I finished in February (2008). I was in the scenes regarding Alan Rickman, Dan, Michael (Dumbledore) Tom (Malfoy) and several other cast who I believe have not been officially published by Warner Bros yet, so unfortunately I cannot comment on that yet.

Thanks SS!

Okay folks, I finished all the articles. I am not going to type up the four on Dan, Emma and Rupert and the one on the Animal people since those aren’t really about Half-Blood Prince or Deathly Hallows. And there is also a HBP news round up thing, but I’m not going to do that one either, I’ve decided, ha ha.

• Producing The Half-Blood Prince
• Dressing the Hogwarts Student Body
• Setting His Designs on The Half-Blood Prince
• Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

PLEASE do not copy and paste these on to your site, they took me forever to do. You can take little snippets and then post a link to the full thing on here.
UPDATE: ALL DONE!

The UK edition of Deathly Hallows will be released in paperback on Thursday. You can pre-order it HERE £5.39.  (I preoredered mine already ;] ) There is still no release date for the U.S. paperback edition, I will update that when we find out.

Bloomsbury has also updated their website.  They have unlocked the #7 compartment on the Hogwarts Express on their Swot up on Potter page.

Thanks SS!

Okay guys! I am going to type up the articles about Half-Blood Prince for you all! So stay tuned for that when I finish! =D

I will update this post unless there is a lot of news before I am done, ha ha.

I finally finished reading the magazine so I could find good bits of information to post for you. Took a while since I was doing lots of work to get scans to other HP related sites, ha ha. There was a lot of good stuff but here is the most interesting stuff pertaining to Half-Blood Prince.

We don’t have a script yet, so we don’t know. I’ve heard it suggested that the first film ends with the return of Ron Weasley. His return is an emotional high. I guess that could provide a very satisfactory ending. I don’t know if Steve Kloves, the writer, agrees, but we’ll find out when we receive that first script.

I think we’ve come up with something quite special and scary. I think it’s going to be an exciting sequence.

I’m quite afraid, actually, because I always felt that doing a number five or a number 6, you could always do better next time. Now this is the last one, so I’ve got to do my best. This is the end. It’s always difficult to style a fnale, because it is the last one that people will aways remember.

Dumbledore and Harry trave to this island in the middle of this black late, and on this island is, in our case, a crystal reservoir with this liquid in it that Dumbledore has to drink in order to discover the horcrux that lies beneath it.
-Stuart Craig on the cave

Remember, you can see the scans HERE!

And a question: Do you guys want me to type up the articles that are about Half-Blood Prince so those of you that can’t get the magazine can read them now instead of waiting until I put up all the scans in October? If enough people comment I will do it.

Thanks to SS we have 4 new High Resolution images from the Empire Magazine article!

See them HERE!

I also got an email from WB saying there would be new High Res images later today, I am not sure if these are the ones they were talking about or if there will be different ones.
