| | | 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.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Marcella Riddle Graduated | Kaplinski Rival Sorting Hat Machine 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. |

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

Tessa Maria Kensington | 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. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Juanita Aispuro First | 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? |

| 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. |

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. ^^ |
