| | |  Exclusive: Half-Blood Prince a "romantic comedy" says Watson
Here are a couple of brief interviews SnitchSeeker shot with Emma Watson and Chris Rankin at the Los Angeles premiere for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in which Emma speaks a bit about Half-Blood Prince and Chris incorrectly predicts the fate of his character Percy in the final book.
You can view the video here. Below is a transcript. Quote: Channel 18: Do you think there’ll be more romance in the next film?
Emma Watson: I think there is. I think the next one is going to be more of a romantic comedy. So that should be great.
Quote: SnitchSeeker: What do you think will happen to your character in the last book.
Chris Rankin: I think he’s gonna redeem himself. He’s gonna be good and then he’s gonna die. He’s gotta. He’s gotta die.

Yates said the romantic comedy thing too. I recently re-read HBP & I couldn't agree more.  I'm glad Percy didn't die. That would've been far too obvious.

Aww, poor guy. He must've been disappointed 
Then again, the 'redeem & die' scenario would have been too mushy. | |

Aww....he thought he was going to die. No he couldn't have died it would have been out of place, and un needed. No one loved him all that much, he wasn't as main of a character towards the end. Well, until he redeems himself of course.

Yeah, it is a romantic comedy indeed XD

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

Percy dying. I thought that too. But, he wasn't such an important character. It would been sad if he died though.
A romantic comedy? what is that about?

Awe, I agree, he should have died rather then Fred, but it would have been obvious.

HBP has got to be a romantic comedy. I'm quite glad Chris was wrong, it would've been out of place if Percy had died. | |

at first i didn't want to to be a romantic comedy, but then i thought that it would make a better tearjerker... unlike SOME movie that was resently the latest installment of a major movie franchise...... not naming any names here..
cough* order of the pheonix. | |

Oh geez. A romantic comedy? =/ I was hoping it was gonna be as dark as the others have been. Huzzh for action!
I don't think Percy should have died. Or Fred. Or Mad Eye. Or Hedwig. But Hagrid didn't die, so I'm a mostly happy camper. ^^
