The Snitch is reporting that new original characters have been cast for
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince:
Quote:
TheSnitch can reveal that two characters are being introduced to Half-Blood Prince by Warner Brothers.
The character names are Flora and Hestia Carrow and they are being played by
Amber and
Ruby Evans respectively.
These two actresses were present at the filming at Gloucester Cathedral but as of yet we are not sure of their role in the upcoming film, just that they have only appeared in a film named
Signs of Life, which was released October 2007.
Also, news has come that Helena Bonham-Carter and Tom Felton will be getting wardrobe and hair fittings for their characters, and that discussions about the Astronomy Tower scene (where Snape kills Dumbledore), will take place next week:
Quote:
It even has an Advanced Schedule that reveals that Helena Bonham-Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange) is having a costume, wig, mask and teeth fitting while Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) will be getting his hair coloured, both on Tuesday 12th February!
It also mentions that there is a storyboard meeting for the Astonomy Tower sequence on Monday 11th February.
Finally,
The Snitch found out what scene was being filmed at Gloucester Cathedral, and the truth about the rumour that was circulating in reference to a pair of crutches found on the set (that were supposedly for Ron Weasley's character):
Quote:
A source from the set today revealed to me that the scene being shot was Professor McGonagall telling Ron and Harry that they can take Potions for their NEWTS.
This scene involved 200 extras, ranging from First Years to Seventh Years.
The wooden crutches that were seen being taken into Gloucester Cathedral were not there for Ron but in fact for two of the extras who were already on their plastic crutches.
Please treat all of this information as rumours until we hear confirmation.
UPDATE: A picture of the Carrow girls (rumoured to be playing the 'girls' who hang around Draco [the ones that are really Crabbe & Goyle]) has surfaced:
