Half Blood Prince Movie Talk

[Snow_Crystal]

I've heard that unofficially the release date is likely to be Nov 21st 2008...

Looks like they're going to really press ahead with filming it pretty quickly if they're going to make that deadline..

[Alexandra]

will they replace emma and dan?

[Snow_Crystal]

Hmm, I don't think so. I hope not. I guess they might be filming some of it very soon so that they don't get too old too quick.

Here's a question. I'm 30 and find it difficult to differentiate between kids ages. Do they look much older than their age group they should be playing - I feel so out of it!!

[Alexandra]

i dont think they do
dan maybe but emma-no way
but i think they r perfect for the movies and i hope they will not change them
even if for someone they look older than they should be thats how harry and hermione would look
i mean, they r growing up too
does this make any sense??

[Cougie]

They won't be too old. Even so, it will be too easy for the makeup and visual effects deparment.

Myrtle was played by a 40 year old.

[Alexandra]

i didnt know that
it would be stupid to change them
i dont know why they even mentioned it

[SunsetG|rl]

I always pictured Harry Potter as being a bit skinnier and Dan lookes a little too solid for me. Too worked out, if I may say so. But I guess it would still be weierd if they changed them.

[Alexandra]

i dont think that dan was PERFECT for that part
i always pictured harry a lot different but i got used to dan so i think he should finish the job

[Snow_Crystal]

Myrtle was played by a 40 year old.

Yeah Myrtle was played by one of Bridget Jones's mates (i.e. one of her mates in the films). I can't remember the actress's name but she does have a naturally higher voice and with all the makeup and styling she carried it off well I think.

I actually quite liked Dan as HP. I kind of went on the book covers a little - I couldn't help that but also I saw PS before I read the books so they all kind of stuck with me before I even got to the books.

[SunsetG|rl]

I couldn't help that but also I saw PS before I read the books so they all kind of stuck with me before I even got to the books.

That happened to me too, but then by the time I got to see the 3rd and 4th movie I had read the books first. So while I was still thinking of him as not such a solid guy, it sort of...made a difference.

[Snow_Crystal]

Is anyone else getting a bit concerned that Emma might not do the last 2 films?? Do you think she's just saying that to get more money or do you really think she has had enough? I hope she does them and if it is a money thing, I think she's worth every penny.

[Alexandra]

I don't think it is because of money, but if it is that would tooooo low of her! I think she just got tired of it, she has been playing Hermione since she was nine. She would have to play her until she is twenty and that is 11 years. I think she shouldn't quit becouse she will regret it. It will be a little.... I don't know, imagine Dan, Ruppert and not Emma. That is not the fabulous trio any more.

[Alexandra]

Would BE too low and not becouse it is because!
I am not doing this on purpose, you know, but i don't pay attention.

[Simatra]

I haven't the sightest clue to what your talking about.

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

They're talking about what would happen if Emma Watson stopped playing Hermione.

And she wasn't nine, was she? I'm sure it won't be that long.. eleven years - say if the HP7 film comes out.. it wouild be 2010 really depending on how quickly they get on to HBP. It'll be 2009 or 2010 anyway.

And the first movie was made in 2001.
That's not eleven years - and it definitely won't take until 2012.
