Reports from the set of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
This is from the Harry Potter Forum; some very lucky person has had the privilege of watching scenes being filmed on set of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince:
It was the Last day’s shoot for actors Natalia Tena (Tonks), David Thewlis (Remus Lupin), Maggie Smith (Minerva McGonagall), Julie Walters (Molly Weasley), Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley), Warwick Davis (Filius Flitwick) and Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid). The scene was in the school hospital and had Harry informing everyone of Dumbledore’s death. And let me say what a chilling scene. I’ve not had goosbumps that bad in all my time on set. Julie Walters was fantastic. Ginny ran over and hugged Harry as he told everyone the grim news. Julie walters burst into tears, Maggie Smith was equally angry and devastated. I’m truly excited to see this on screen.
David Yates was talking to Julie walters about her coming back ‘this time next year’ and she asked about ‘the line’, he tapped his nose and said ‘its in’. Now I’m asuming its ‘not my daughter you bitch’ from (DH)Film 8, which will also be given a brand new title. There’s rumours doing the rounds that the Producers will ask JK Rowling to come up with a title for the 8th film! Anyway there was a little party for the actors, everyone was very supportive of Maggie who will be resting up over the summer. It was just a wonderful day all round!
Report 2
…heading into the last week of filming and the last few days has been quite quiet. Today there was a scene with Draco, Harry and Snape, were Harry overhears Snape and Draco talking! Alan Rickman was great, there was a really nice quality to Snape and i cant put my finger on it but i felt there was a completely new dimension to his character in this scene. Evanna Lynch was also filming yesterday on a green screen in the comentators box for the quidditch match, complete with her hat. Evanna is always great!
Oh, man! I don’t know if there will be a dry eye in the house when that scene comes on, do you? And I’m glad that it looks like they’re going to keep that classic line of Molly’s with Bellatrix, it wouldn’t be the same story without it!

and what about this new harry potter title?????? this should be interesting, and it all depends where they split. it could be something like harry potter and the battle of hogwarts, or take another chapter title as the name for the movie. i thought it was just gonna be “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; Part II” and they’d do it in roman numerals just b/c they’re cool that way.

taylor you stole the words out of my mouth– HOLY CRAP!!!!!!! this is amazing news!! i hope they included the tonks/lupin part which i’m guessing they did b/c it’s important for the next one(s).
why wouldn’t they put the ‘not my daughter you bitch’ line in? i loved that line– why would they even consider taking it out– any kid who would be offended by that probably wouldn’t be watching the battle of hogwarts part of the film so who cares– glad to see it’ll probably be in though
yay for luna!!! finally quidditch again and luna commentating like she should w/ the HAT!!!!!!! i’m pumped for this movie now lol
and as for the title: i’m glad it’s not gonna be ‘Part II’ but what the hell is it gonna be then? ‘Harry Potter and the Battle of Hogwarts’? hopefully it won’t be stupid
glad to get some great news!!
