Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is a 2009 fantasy adventure film, based on the novel by J. K. Rowling. It is the sixth film in the popular Harry Potter films series. Production is in the post-production stage. David Yates, the director of the fifth film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, is returning as director for this film. David Heyman and David Barron are producing the film,[1] and Steve Kloves, though he did not write the fifth film, has returned as screenwriter for this instalment.[2] Filming began on September 24,2007 and the film was originally planned for a UK and US release on November 21, 2008,[3][2] but on August 14, 2008, it was announced that the release date for the film was to be pushed back to July 17, 2009.[4] Like the previous film, the sixth film will be simultaneously released in regular theatres and IMAX 3-D.[5]
As of 29 July 2008, editing of the movie was complete and studio officials will soon see the finished product.[6]
Premise
On December 14, 2007, Warner Bros. released its official plot summary. It reads:
Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defences and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simmering with jealousy but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.[7]
Production
Development
Before David Yates was officially chosen to direct the film, many others had been offered the job, and previous directors had expressed an interest in returning. Alfonso Cuarón, the director of the third film, stated he "would love to have the opportunity" to return.[8] Goblet of Fire director Mike Newell declined a spot to direct the fifth film, and was not approached for this one.[9] Terry Gilliam was Rowling's personal choice to direct Philosopher's Stone. However, when asked whether he would consider directing a later film, Gilliam said, "Warner Bros. had their chance the first time around, and they blew it."[10]
Yates has retained composer Nicholas Hooper, costume designer Jany Temime, visual effects supervisor Tim Burke, creature and make-up effects designer Nick Dudman, and special effects supervisor John Richardson from the fifth film.[2] Since February 2007, Stuart Craig, the production designer of the first five films as well, has been designing sets, including the cave, and the astronomy tower, where the climax of the film takes place.[11] Academy Award nominated Bruno Delbonnel is the film's cinematographer.[2]
Yates and Heyman have noted that some of the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows may influence the script of the film,[12] and that there will not be as many memories in the film as in the book. Yates noted: "We're making a decision right now to compress those a wee bit, but we've still got some really cool ones."[13] Steve Kloves, who wrote the first four films, returned for the sixth adaptation.[14] Rowling, upon reading Kloves' script, crossed out a passage in which Dumbledore recalls a past female love, penning in the margin "Dumbledore is gay."[15]
Filming
Following a week of rehearsals, principal photography began on 24 September 2007 and ended in May 2008.[3] Before filming commenced, there was belief that filming may move from the UK, where all of the previous five films have been shot. This is North Scotland reported filming will take place in New Zealand, due to the "more agreeable economy and climate" and lack of Scottish funding.[16] The Sunday Business Post in Ireland noted that the film's producers and WB executives had been scouting there, specifically Leinster and Munster because they "believe they have now exhausted possible locations in Britain." They are "particularly keen on Ireland, as the landscape is similar to Britain and will appear similar to the settings of the previous films."[17] The crew also scouted around Cape Wrath in Scotland, for use in the cave scene.[18] Filming is scheduled to return to Glen Coe and Glenfinnan, both locations that have appeared in the previous films, to preserve the continuity of the landscape.[19]
On the weekend of 6 October 2007, the crew shot scenes involving the Hogwarts Express in the misty and dewy environment of Fort William, Scotland.[19] A series of night scenes have been filmed in the village of Lacock and the cloisters at Lacock Abbey for three nights starting 25 October 2007. Filming took place from 5 p.m. to 5 a.m. daily, and residents of the street were asked to black out their windows with dark blinds.[20][21][22] On set reports indicated that the main scene filmed was Harry and Dumbledore's visit to Slughorn's house.[22] Further filming took place in Surbiton railway station in October 2007,[23] Gloucester Cathedral, where the first and second films were shot, in February 2008,[24] and at the Millennium Bridge in London in March 2008.[25]
Though Radcliffe, Gambon and Broadbent started shooting in late September 2007, some other cast members started much later: Watson did not begin until December 2007, Rickman until January 2008, and Bonham Carter until February 2008.[26][27] Principal photography wrapped up on 17 May 2008.[28]
Cast
- Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, who is now entering his sixth year at Hogwarts, with the wizarding world at war.[1]
- Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley, one of Harry's two best friends.[1] He develops a relationship with Lavender Brown.[29]
- Emma Watson as Hermione Granger, one of Harry's two best friends.[1] Watson considered not returning for the sixth film,[30] but eventually decided that "the pluses outweighed the minuses" and could not bear to see anyone else play Hermione.[31]
- Michael Gambon as Albus Dumbledore.[2] The legendary wizard and headmaster of Hogwarts. The revelation of Dumbledore's sexuality prompted Gambon to "camp up" around the set when off camera,[32] but his on-screen performance is expected to remain unchanged from the previous films.[33]
- Jim Broadbent as Horace Slughorn, the newly appointed Hogwarts Potions master. Broadbent described his costumes as "tweedy", and his character as "comic",[34] while Radcliffe noted that "[Slughorn's] tragedy will outweigh the comedy".[35]
- Alan Rickman as Severus Snape,[2] the former Potions master, who finally achieves his goal of becoming Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher.
- Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy,[2] a classmate of Harry, who Harry suspects of carrying out a task for Voldemort across the year, and son of Narcissa Malfoy and nephew to Bellatrix. Unknown actor Tony Coburn will play Lucius Malfoy in a Hogwarts flashback.
- Bonnie Wright as Ginny Weasley,[2] Ron's younger sister in her fifth year, for whom Harry develops intense romantic feelings. Her feelings for Harry really never changed, and they finally become a couple near the end of the school year.
- Matthew Lewis as Neville Longbottom,[2] a friend of Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny.
- Evanna Lynch as Luna Lovegood,[2] a friend of Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny.
- Robbie Coltrane as Rubeus Hagrid,[2] the Hogwarts gamekeeper and Care of Magical Creatures teacher.
- Maggie Smith as Minerva McGonagall,[2] the Hogwarts Transfiguration teacher, deputy headmistress and head of Gryffindor.
- David Thewlis as Remus Lupin,[2] a member of the Order of the Phoenix and former Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher.
- Natalia Tena as Nymphadora Tonks,[2] a member of the Order of the Phoenix.
- Helen McCrory as Narcissa Malfoy, Draco's mother and younger sister of Bellatrix. McCrory was originally cast as Bellatrix Lestrange in Order of the Phoenix, but had to drop out due to pregnancy.[36] Naomi Watts was previously reported as having accepted the role,[37] only for it to be denied by her agency.[38]
- Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange, one of Voldemort's principal Death Eaters, older sister of Narcissa Malfoy, aunt to Draco, and cousin of Sirius Black.[2]
- Timothy Spall as Peter Pettigrew, one of Voldemort's principal Death Eaters.[39]
- Mark Williams and Julie Walters as Arthur and Molly Weasley,[40][2] Ron and Ginny's parents.
- Jessie Cave as Lavender Brown,[29] Ron's girlfriend. Watson described her as "perfect for the role,"[41] although Cave did not attend the open auditions.[42] An open casting call was held for the part on 1 July, 2007. Over 7,000 girls turned out for the audition and read from a scene with Madam Pomfrey, Hermione, and Ron.[43] Yates tested Grint with the top five choices for Lavender, reading certain lines and kissing, to see which pairing had the best chemistry.[44]
Hero Fiennes Tiffin and Frank Dillane will each play Tom Riddle, the child who becomes Lord Voldemort, at age eleven and as a teenager respectively.[2] Tiffin is the 10-year-old nephew of Ralph Fiennes, who plays the adult Voldemort in the fourth and fifth films.[45] Yates commented at the U.S. Order of the Phoenix premiere, that one of the two actors was "really interesting."[13] An open casting call was held for the part in July 2007, with applicants reading from a scene involving Riddle trying to persuade Horace Slughorn to explain what Horcruxes are.[46] Christian Coulson, who played Riddle in Chamber of Secrets, expressed an interest in returning.[47] However, Yates responded that Coulson was too old, nearing 30, to be playing the role.[44] Jamie Campbell Bower, who appeared in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, previously noted that he had his "fingers crossed" he would be cast as a young Riddle.[48]
Additionally, Warwick Davis and David Bradley will reprise their respective roles as Charms teacher Filius Flitwick and caretaker Argus Filch.[2] Georgina Leonidas will play Katie Bell, the Gryffindor Chaser who is injured by a cursed necklace.[49] Anna Shaffer will be portraying Romilda Vane, a student obsessed with Harry; she tries to make him fall in love with her by using love potions.[49] Websites of UK casting agencies reported that Scarlett Byrne will play Pansy Parkinson. Katie Leung will also return as Cho Chang in a very brief role.[50] Two 11-year-old children, Taylor Triphook and Katie Head, who have been noted to be redheads, will play twins in the film, roles not culled from the novel.[51] 12-year-old Ashley Whitehead has been cast as an orphan in the film,[52] while Louis Cordice will play Blaise Zabini.[53] Freddie Stroma, Isabella Laughland, and Rob Knox will play, respectively, Cormac McLaggen, Katie Bell's friend Leanne and Marcus Belby.[49] Knox was stabbed to death on 24 May 2008, before the film was released.[54] Ralph Ineson will play Amycus Carrow, Suzanne Toase will play Alecto Carrow, and Dave Legeno will play Fenrir Greyback,[55][56] while Lord Johnpaul Castrianni and Rod Hunt will play Yaxley and Thorfinn Rowle respectively. Tom Moorcroft will portray Regulus Black, and Sanguini, the vampire at Slughorn's party will be played by Charlie Bennison.[57] Tony Coburn will play a young Lucius Malfoy,[58] and Amelda Brown plays Mrs Cole, the Muggle supervisor of Tom Riddle's orphanage.[59] Two more actors, Teresa Mahoney and River George, are credited as playing Sofie and Laurasia, respectively, characters not culled from the novel. The source lists Sofie as a character from the "Boardroom – Opening Scene".[60][61]
Afshan Azad and Shefali Chowdhury have expressed interest in returning as the Patil twins.[62] Both Clémence Poésy and Chris Rankin are interested in returning,[63][64] but in October 2007 Poésy noted that she will not be reprising her role of Fleur Delacour,[65] and Rankin has stated that he thinks Percy Weasley will be cut.[66] Miriam Margolyes, who has not appeared in her role as Pomona Sprout since Chamber of Secrets, wishes to return as well.[67] After Bill Nighy expressed an interest in appearing,[68] Yates confirmed that Nighy would be his first choice for the role of Minister for Magic Rufus Scrimgeour, providing the character made it into the final screenplay.[69] Although no further reports have been released, Yates told Wizard that he was "struggling with [fitting Scrimgeour in the script] at the moment, and he's in one moment and he's out the next."[69] Madonna's daughter Lourdes was reportedly offered a role in the film, although it was rejected as Madonna wants her daughter to "have a normal childhood."[70]
Early auditions took place in England in April 2007, though reports would not state which role the audition was for. One actor who auditioned for the role was Icelandic Jón Páll Eyjólfsson, who went to school with screenwriter Steve Kloves.[71] Official casting news was scarce even as filming began.[48] It was reported that Jack Davenport, Stephen Rea, Peter Rnic, Stuart Townsend, and Joseph Fiennes were each offered unspecified roles,[72][37] although representatives of Townsend and Fiennes denied the reports.[38] Warner Bros. announced in a press release on 16 November 2007 that casting for the film had been completed.[2]
Marketing
The special edition two-disc DVD for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix contained two sneak peeks of the film,[73][40] while the US edition included an additional clip.[74] A 15-second teaser for the film was shown alongside the IMAX release of The Dark Knight.[75] The official teaser trailer was released on July 29 on AOL's Moviefone website.[76] The same trailer was attached to The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in some cinemas, and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 in others. Warner Bros and MSN ran an online Order of the Phoenix quiz, with the prize being a walk-on part in the film.[77] As with the previous films, EA Games will produce a video game based on the film.[78]
The film is scheduled for a United Kingdom and United States release on July 17, 2009.[3][2] Like the previous film, the sixth film will be simultaneously released in regular theaters and IMAX 3-D.[79] The film has been chosen to be screened at the 2008 Royal Film Performance on November 17.[80]
Numerous Harry Potter fan's have started an online petition to bring back the original release date of the sixth Harry Potter film. As well as threatening a boycott of all Warner Brother's films if the film is not released when previously announced to be. Link to petition can be found here [1].
