Some of Half-Blood Prince will be shot at the Surbiton (a suburban area of London) train station this weekend with Daniel Radcliffe.

Seargeant Christopher MacKellaich, of the British Transport Police, said: “We will have officers down at the station on Friday, Saturday and Sunday night to assist with any public order issues associated with the filming.

“They are going to be filming overnight from late evening to the early morning and we will have six or seven officers down there each night.”

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.

JK Rowling has updated her site with new Rubbis Bin entries:

• J K Rowling demands 2 million rupees from religious charities in India
• J K Rowling does pilates, yoga, jogs, has botox injections and has cut out saturated fats

Very interesting if I do say so myself.

I finally updated the character lists on the site! Took me a while but I searched through the books looking for people I missed. So I probably still have some missing. If you notice one just email me the name and a little description so I can add it.
