Exclusive: Confirmed two teenage Tom Riddles in Half-Blood Prince
 

Contrary to recent rumors and according to a verified source on set, Michael Berendt, who we told you last week will be playing Tom Riddle at age 18 in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, will not be replacing actor Frank Dillane, who was cast as Tom Riddle at age 16.

So what will Berendt be doing in the film as 18-year old Tom Riddle? His role merely consists of a pair of hands stealing the Hufflepuff cup – that's it. The actor has no dialogue and no face time on screen.

oh well, that actor can still say he was in an HP movie. first to post after the crash!!!

Ummmmm...o.k. That's good I guess!

That's good then. :)

a pair of hands? why what was wrong with the hands of the fellow who plays the 16 year old? he doesnt have Frodo Fingers does he? :lol:

That's good then, I guess. :)

I'd do anything to get my hands in a Harry Potter film! :lol:

Maybe his hands were too young? :lol:

ok =]

Hmm.. why couldn't they use the 16 year olds hands?

thats just wierd! why not use the 16 year olds hands?

wow-interesting!!~

That's... weird. They could just bug every cast member to get the hands they wanted but okay XD

hmm odd.

couldnt the 16 years olds hands be used. they would be more youthful :P

ROTFLMAO....Frodo fingers!!! ahhhhh....better than Smeegle fingers i suppose

Yay SS is back.


Two actors for two years age difference?
... welll whatever.

That is one of the oddest things I've heard yet with regard to the movies. Why, oh why, don't they just use a cast/crew member's hands, or the 16-year-old's?

:blink:

Weird.

wow! a great role I hope he can handel it is so much responsability on that role: a pair of hands!! wow!! now he is my fav actor....hahaha :D

But talking seriously hands are hands, aren't they?? what was the problem with Frank's hands??

Weird!! :)

thats a bit rubbish isnt it

like on Zoolander... the hand model guy.




pff.
pfffff.
Zoolander.

Accio.Brain ... I'm with you. I'd be happy getting my hands in DH.

lmao I Just finished watching Zoolander.

Erm, so what was wrong with using a 16 year old's hands instead?

Right, what ever floats their boat I guesse

That's a bit ... odd. I'm sure they could've just went and picked some random person to be "The Hands". I don't really see why they had to get another Tom Riddle just to do a scene that would probably take a few moments to get through.

Wow....

I dont know if I would be irked or if I would think that was kool...

:hmm:

wow that kinda sux. At least he can say he was in a popular film .....

mmmmm okayyyyyyyyyy

:hermy: it kinda is a slap in the face...cuz why cast an actor..if they're gonna use his hands only?silly..they can use some one's hands..and make do!

ok......weird, seriously

Lol I suppose it's better than nothing!!!! :xd:

well at least his hands get to be in the film jaja :D

wow at least he has a part in the film

what's wrong with the other dudes hands?

Er...how interestingly odd.

ok..whats the point of that? i'm nut hands will change from the age of 16-18..

I don't understand why they have to drag some 18-year old in to show his hands for one second.
They could've used anyone elses hands - someone already in the film for example!
Ah well.. (:

Whatever happened to Christian Coulson?

Thats.. Strange ? x)

Christian is 30 now, way too matured to be playing a 16 or 18 year old.

come to think of it, he could play the 18 year old Tom Riddle, since all they needed were a pair of hands ;)

well,thats kinda weird.why not use the 16 year olds hands?or crew's hands?

curiuos but still better to be in a HP film than not. still can't understand why Michael's getting a credit for his hand-y work! LOL!

That's good! I honestly didn't think that actor would be good as the 18-year old Tom Riddle. If I were him and he knew they'd only be using his hands in the movie, I wouldn't have accepted the role. He probably only accepted for the money.

He would probably cost too much. Let's face it, with an actor that experienced, it would be an insult (a total waste of his time).

Stranger things have happened. :lol:

Huh wierd

That's strange...
