Actor Freddie Stroma spoke to OakFM Radio about how he got the part of Cormac McLaggen in Half-Blood Prince (including meeting director David Yates), mentioning that he was cast after filming had started for the sixth film. He talks about Cormac in the film: an arrogant Gryffindor who annoys Ron and flirts with Hermione, his date to Slughorn's Christmas party. Freddie admitted that he did have time to talk and mingle with the cast and crew of the sixth film, though not with Rupert, Dan, and Emma as much because the trio were busy with work and - in Emma's case - school; he also said that he plans to attend the premiere this coming July.

Freddie stated that he may go back to university after filming, though might consider other acting endeavours.
