Half-Blood Prince Video Game Delayed

» September 9 by Ivana in HP News with 173 Comments

As reported by Yahoo!News via HPANA, Electronic Arts Inc and Warner Bros. have confirmed that the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince video game will coincide with the release of the eponymous movie next summer. As you know, Rupert Grint voices the CGI Ron for the video games, and does an awesome job at that! (And, as reported, the visual look of the game for Half-Blood Prince is incredibly authentic to the film!) This is yet another reason to be sad/angry/suicidal because of the HBP delay, not only for gamers but also for all of us who enjoy Rupert’s voice-over and sync work.

Thus let me use this opportunity to remind those of you who may not know that you can listen to Rupert lending his voice to radio shows Happy Birthday, Peter Pan! and Down With Skool in our media section here and here!

  1. OH I love his voice work! I was just listening to Down with Skool again this past weekend. That voice!

  2. Amazing really. I’ve burned a CD and I often play Peter Pan and Down With Skool to my son as a bedtime story (whenever I’m too tired to tell him a story myself lol)! You know that my whole family is hopelessly addicted to Rupert!

  3. “Gosh – look at my eggs sir, their all runny..” hahaha He said that so cuute!

  4. Also, when he said “Groovy and Rad” in the Peter Pan audio I almost died.

  5. We also watched Thunderpants the other day and couldn’t stop marvelling at Rupert’s awesomeness.
    My husband did not even recognise Rupert when he first saw the movie, but he was like “Whoa, this kid is a genius!” And then I told him “Well you know who he is? Ron from Harry Potter.” — “No shit!” said my better half, he could not believe that it’s the same kid!
    That’s the thing with Rupert, he gets into character so completely, makes you forget that he’s an actor pretending to be someone else!

  6. I love that about Rupert. :) One of the scenes I wish had made it into the film really showed off his ability for drama at an early age too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZrlZzgfxyM

  7. Thunderpants is hilarious. He sounds so different in it. It really shows how talented he was from the start.

  8. God what is it with all those comments saying the same thing over WT at HPANA?

    “I’m glad he’s getting more offers…”

    WTF. They act as if he doesn’t get any besides this. And it appears that people are not aware of CB either. Goddamit I wish I didn’t care so much! *lmao*

  9. “What am I Patrick? Im a fool.” Aww so cute.

  10. Laura remember the staff at HPANA are all up Dan and Emma’s ass, and their readers don’t know about Rupert because they don’t post news about him so they automatically think he isn’t getting anything. Of course we know Rupert has had many offers. This is off topic, but I really don’t think Emma is 100% interested in acting. She said she can’t take too many roles because she is always busy doing publicity. She will become one of those people only known for their public appearances and not roles if she isn’t careful!

  11. I just hate it Jo. I hate it. *lmao*

    You know, I am really proud to a fan of someone like Rupert but sometimes…..it ain’t easy.

    BTW did you know that James Nesbitt presented together with Emma at the national movie awards? What a coincidence. Apparantly Emma’s dress was malfunctioning while going on the stage *lolz*

    Okay now Rupert where are you?!! We haven’t seen you in ages (sans quiff) Come out boy!

  12. NMAs are on telly right now as we speak, but I can’t bother to watch. And I couldn’t care less about Emma’s dress.
    I was telling the girls earlier today that what annoys me most is that any Emma rumour (Chanel contract, Napoleon and Betsy etc.) receives more coverage from HP sites (and media) than Rupert’s confirmed projects! I mean wtf?!

  13. Rupert’s working so that we’ll get LOADS of him next year! :)
    I agree Jo, Emma has been doing so much “stuff”, but nothing that will properly keep her in the business as an actress (Emma:Rupert = 1:4 non-HPs by now…). Aside from the fact that there are so many “mishaps” whenever she appears.
    I’d rather not hear anything like that about Rupes (well, it seems unlikely he’ll ever hae a “dress malfunction”, but I’ll keep my hopes up…), but then get to see him on screen.

  14. Yeah, well, it was a bad idea to say on her site that she wants to do that film and nothing’s happened yet!
    And we always get news like “Rupert starts shooting next week”!

  15. Awww, is so sweet. Check this out!

    Emma Watson has likened upcoming movie Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince to a romantic comedy.

    Speaking at the National Movie Awards, Watson said fans can expect a funnier film than the previous instalments.

    “It’s got Ron’s first kiss with Lavender in it, which is quite big news,” she said. “It’s much more of a romantic comedy, it’s much funnier than any of the other ones.

    “It’s a lot more fun. It’s still dark but it’s funnier.”

    Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince is scheduled for release next July.

    There is also video of her mentioning this stuff on the site:

    http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/a129903/watson-next-potter-is-a-romantic-comedy.html

    She also said she felt a bit alone without “Rupert and Dan” but that next HP was coming back with full force. Yay!

  16. Awww, Emma* is so sweet. <<< correction.

  17. I love the fact that both Rupert and Emma appreciate the comedy element to this film over the darker stuff like Dan does.

    In my opinion, Dan likes the darker stuff because he’s the one mostly portrayed in it, rather than Rupert. It seems like Emma prefers the comedy side as well. lol It was first thing that came to her mind!

  18. Here’s the video of the interview Ki posted
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OQfvgXtorI
    I thought it was cute as well, they asked her what happens in HBP & the first thing she says is “Ron has his first kiss with Lavender” =D.

  19. Oh, I didn’t realize the article at DigitalSpy had the video interview, oh well lol.
    I wish we get more interviews asking her about the filming of HBP though.

  20. If I had the money i’d buy the gamer and all the HP games that Rupert voices on just to hear his voice. The audio mentioned is so old, still in his higher voice octive. SO wants to hear a whole program with new and deeper octive that just vibrates through me.

    Emma is pretty and does a decent job apparently of acting that she’ll get parts if she wants to. I don’t think Dan likes the darkers stuff cause he’s in them. He as we should all know (fans and nonfans alike) that Dan is eccentric. He likes what most people wouldn’t or more than most would.

    I hate hearing how other sites and fans interpret Rupert’s career. I do not go to them so I don’t read it. Personally I want Rupert to get the recognition by everyone, but all that really matters is if he’s happy and those who do the hiring see what an excellent actor he is. We long time and new fans can just smile like the cat who ate a canary when one day these people will go, “Man, that Rupert Grint is awesome.”

  21. “We long time and new fans can just smile like the cat who ate a canary when one day these people will go, “Man, that Rupert Grint is awesome.”
    Talley

    This is not too much far away, dear! ;)

    And I don´t get this thing about Emma missing “Rupert and Dan”!
    Make a call girl!
    Well, Dan is in the other side of the world but Rupert is close to you!
    It´s easier for you than for us! :)

  22. “Is this what you really want? To be Damon’s farting boy?”

    *psychotically funny*

    Ok, got to go. If you don’t hear from me again, it’s because my head’s exploded.

    *massive headache*

  23. How do you get Happy Birthday Peter Pan on a CD I really want this so I can hear him all the time while laying in bed after surgery Do you guys know how to copy it to a CD?

  24. I have a massive headache (yet, strangely watching Rupert Grint interviews has helped to bring it to a dull ache, it still hurts though.)

    They should bottle him….

    I put Love Actually in when I got home (I have the movie…)

    It’s like everyone who’s acted or will act with Rupert….hehehehe from HP and DL.

    *sings*

    Ron, Ron, Ron…
    Ron, Ron, Ron…
    Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron….

    All I need is Ron. All I need is Ron.
    All I need is Ron, Ron. Ron is all I need…..

  25. “I can hear him all the time while laying in bed after surgery Do you guys know how to copy it to a CD?:
    ~manda1

    I’m sorry, I don’t know. But, I thought you wrote sugary. I was like, after sugary? Huh… I read it a few times and it still said sugary. And then it all of a sudded said surgery.

    It’s the headache, it’s warping my mind….

  26. Oh yeah, I wonder who’s going to portray the hitman’s mother?

  27. What picture is that from of the little icon that says on it “hp news” is that a real pic. if so ive never seen it and i would like to see the original.

  28. If memory serves, Katie, this was one of the many behind-the-scenes moments for Order of the Phoenix. Unfortunately the Gallery is still a work in progress, so I can’t direct you to the right area.

  29. Cool, Bill Nighy starred in Girl in the Cafe, directed by Yates.

    The HP circle goes round and round, round and round, round and round…

    And I wonder if Emma and James Nesbitt talked about how nice Rupert must be.

    *skips off*

  30. I was wondering that myself, AJ. I’m surprised they didn’t try to have Rupert there for that reason alone. James and Rupert could’ve done a little CB promotion. :)

  31. Oh, I forgot to say that Rupert’s got two relationships (or at least one and about to build one with Bill) that have David Yates in common. I remember that Bill made mention that Yates is a friend and was hoping to be cast in an HP movie because of it. lol And JB and Yates are always friends! Small, small acting world in Britain.

  32. http://hogwartsradio.com/HR09-09-2008.mp3
    Eric from Mugglenet (the guy who reviewed it) and a girl named Kristin who saw the movie with him talked to a podcast called Hogwarts Radio. It’s really a very interesting podcast. At some point they praise Rupert. I quote:

    Kristin: ” Bonnie Wright really had to opportunity to shine in this movie but I don’t think she was the only one”……… “I thought Rupert Grint was EXCEPTIONAAAAAL in this movie ”

    Eric: ” Yeah, Rupert’s worth mentioning. I had confidence in him before. He did some great stuff for me before but in this movie he really does shine, uhhmm, like he takes the love potion and all the quidditch scenes, all of it it’s just really good..”

    *iz so proud of her guy* I knew he would own HBP. I just knew.

  33. I am not a fan of MN after the way they treated Ron when he was the main topic and the comments about Rupert during GOF. I’m glad they pointed Rupert out and gave him his due but saying “Yeah, Rupert’s worth mentioning.” makes want to throw up. I’d say he’s worth mentioning and talking incessantly all about him. I’d say he’d worth mentioning along side Bonnie after five great performances in HP while Bonnie has only drivebys until now. Thanks for finally noticing MN.

  34. Mods there is porn spam in the forum!!!

    http://www.rupert-grint.us/forum2/showthread.php?p=645#post645

  35. MN isn’t exactly my “favorite” site either Talley but I still think it’s great to hear “EXCEPTIONAL” (really emphasised by the girl (who isn’t involded with MN ) when it comes to Rupert’s performance.

  36. *grumbles* Stupid spam. I’m going to have to look into that.

    Yeah, I hate MN too, but it’s good to hear everyone praise Rupert, no matter what. I mean, duh. We knew he’d rock it, but early reviews are really making me happy. I’m just scared that the powers that be will want to cut down his performance for some reason. :\

  37. I am afraid of that too Tao, but if those surveys are all positive concerning Ron, they will not change it. So I’m hopeful that the 300+ that were there all commented that they love all of Ron’s scenes. Think about it, he goes from being hysterical funny under the love potion, to convulsing and foaming at the mouth in the poison scene. Talk about range.

  38. Hopefully that will make them NOT do anything. But I’m also afraid of others, per our e-mail discussion. :\

    *sigh* *waits patiently for WT and CB*

  39. Please that guy could have 5 minutes of screentime and he would still be great.Just look at the OoTP reviews and he was barely in it.

    That much is obvious.
    http://i33.tinypic.com/21mcfwp.jpg

  40. LMAO Laura!!!!! Love that!!!!

  41. Yeah, that one reviewer that said that 3 second scene (what, I’m hungry) made the whole movie for him. I went wow, but you know what, that scene was just perfection. I can see where he was coming from.

    Yeah, Tao. I know. The influences of outsiders. Gah, I hope not., I really hope not.

  42. I read some reviews from this popular gay site and a lot of the comments said that the movie could have sucked but they would have still enjoyed with all of the orgasms Rupert gave them with that perfect hair lol.

  43. I love that reviewers always notice Rupert no matter what. Like in PoA they saw him take a step back, but still acted his butt off. And GoF his role was more, but he still wasn’t central, but they thoroughly enjoyed him. In OotP I still say it was better than GoF, it’s just that there was no major Ron storyline… and critics hated it and wanted to see more of Rupert. The most natural actor!

  44. Whoa Danperts meet me at the forums or livejournal, found a comment from Rupert about something DAN did, ODD!!!!!!!!!!!!

  45. During the Yule Ball when his date asked him if he was going to ask her to dance and in that non-chalant way he said no. That blew me away. I was like Woah, that was so natural, so real, didn’t look like acting. Seriously, it blew me away. But I wasn’t the only one who noticed that, critics noticed.

    Jo, what are you doing checking out the gay sites? lol Not just the hair, that bod. ooh la la.

  46. Jo, the perv community?

  47. Only Jo! LOL *gets curious about the Dan thing*

    Oh God, yes, Suzeeq! That was a great scene. He’s just so natural. I also love in OotP when Hermione is all like, “That was really clever actually.” and he does that whole cocky, “It’s been known to happen.” It was a really natural reaction if you’re trying to play it off.

  48. Dude I always check out the gay sites because they have their own celebrity news and of course DAN is always in the topics! Anyway, there are two gay articles talking about that weekend Rupert and Dan were sighted at the same club. Remember that???????? Dan talked about how drunk he got and Rupert made a comment that Dan brushed against him but he was sure it was unintentional! LMAO. I love it!

  49. So anyway I will just talk about it here.

  50. NOOOOO!!! Brushed up against him. Tao, what did I say. lol

  51. LOL! I love how we get an interesting comment like this… I wonder what the look was on his face. I remember at the NMAs he wasn’t expecting Dan to hug him and he was all like, “What? Oh…”

  52. Oh damm. The look on his face during that hug. lol Oh my. This is getting interesting.

    Or maybe Dan was pretending he was drunk. lol

  53. Yeah I know Rupert is straight but I think he has a feeling that Dan isn’t lol but he is soo nice about it. Those gay guys from that article sounds like they were trying to make Rupert say something because Dan was already really open about how much he drank and could not remember anything the next day. So when they asked Rupert about the way Dan was acting Rupert just said he had had no recollection but Dan had brushed against him and he was sure it was unintentional. SEE Rupert always being honest and nice but not ragging Dan out.. I love that about him.

  54. I love the gay sites. This other site is talking about Equus right and has the picture of Dan with his arms stretched out and all the guys there are saying “Oh he is soo hot!”

    This one guy says, “. He’s gorgeous. Buuuuut, I’d rather play around with Rupert Grint….

    LMAO, ok im having fun tonight.

  55. Rupert is a true gentleman. :)

  56. This is priceless. Yeah, drunk my ass. He remembers what he did. lol Was this at Dan’s birthday party?

  57. This was last year sometime during HP promotion Dan and Rupert were spotted at the same night spot, one of the very rare times you hear of them seen at the same place!

  58. actually i think it was before hp promotion, but anyway it was last year lol. i don’t think either of the guys have attended each other’s birthday parties…..yet!

  59. And possibly the last time. lol Dan’s like do you want to go out to a club or something and Rupert’s like, I don’t think so. lo Oh wow, this is just too damm funny.

  60. Jo post the article links PLEASE! When did this happen?!?!

  61. Jo you need to do that Danpert thread. That should be fun again. Could you do the whole quote? I’m like, “What?” **with Scooby Doo’s ears**

    And I did say I was glad Rupert got recognition. I love Ron’s little moments in all the movies. I agree about the Yule Ball and sausage eating moments too.

  62. LINKS PLEASE!

  63. Damn it, Jo! LOL You’re comments are like a stealth bomb with a long fuse…you plant that crap inside our heads. All of the rest of the “non DanPert shippers are like, oh..that’s nice. And then it explodes and we all scurry around like, “Rupie said what about Dan?!” And then we all dash off to the forums and/or LJ to see what the fuss is about.

    *looks sideways, creaps toward stage right, and runs manically towards the potential DanPert smut*

  64. Yeah you’re right about birthday parties and I do remember that report but nobody believed because there were no pictures and such. Why were they talking to these gay guys? Are they media reporters?

  65. Oh yeah another Danpert thread! Those are fun! Here are one of the links from a Gay Cruise and Travel site!

    http://newgaytravelguide.com/2008/04/04/just-a-dash-of-celebrity-dish.aspx

  66. Chelle I don’t think Rupert’s gay though, I think he just accepts Dan cuz they are friends. Rupert would never out him.

  67. This conversation is hilarious.

  68. I talk about this all the time though. :)

  69. Rupert is a gentleman and he will never say anything negative about anybody he knows or out anybody. That’s just the kind of person he is.

  70. That article…. just… woah.

    It’s dated as 4/4/2008 6:03 AM

  71. You know that is something about him, I think it might be one of the things that pisses him off lol. You know he doesn’t say much about rumors but the whole Lyndsey comment made him mad enough to make a statement so I think he really does value people, is not judgemental, he’s tooooooo sweet.

  72. I don’t think Rupert would ever call Dan “Danny”.

    Dan absolutely HATES that nickname. lol

  73. Exactly Jo. He minds his own business, stays out of trouble and just likes to have a good time. lol

  74. Yeah, I noticed that, but it could be how these guys wrote it.

  75. Ki I think the journalist threw that in there, it’s a gay journalist we are talking about, a lot of their articles on Dan are really funny though. I mean the humor they use is hilarious.

  76. I’m not posting the other links because the men’s comments to the article are rather explicit. geez i fear for dan if he gets alone in a room with those guys!

  77. That’s one of the things I love about Rupert, he’s kind-hearted and a sweetheart. We can all stand have a little bit of Rupert goodness in us(not like that).

  78. Rupert truly is a gentleman. :)

  79. Jo,does the second article mention rupert? If so, can you email it to me? I wanna read it! :D

  80. OK guys get ready because Emily Blunt is exactly what I think Rupert likes in a girl. She’s got one thing Emma lacks, maybe that’s why he’s held back. JUST KIDDING!!!!!!

    Photobucket

  81. She is pretty and edgy and funky but still classy. She’s going to turn to puddy when she meets him.

  82. LMAO Jo! *night night*

  83. LOL I swear, I can’t wait. I think there is going to be so much chemistry between Bill, Emily and Rupert. This movie is going to rock. :)

  84. I’m looking through her pictures, she is sooooooooo pretty wow, Rupert’s going to turn to puddy too. He probably already has!

  85. Do you guys think Rupert had to read together with Bill (and perhaps Emily) before given the part? I mean there’s gotta be a great chemistry since one of the strongest points of the film seem to be the interaction between the three.

  86. I’m sure Rupert already had his part but I think maybe they did already meet for a read through especially to make sure Emily would fit in since she replaced Helena.

  87. Tao answer your email, got some news that will make you shit your pants.

  88. I think WT would be a great movie, jo, do you know how to put Happy Birthday Peter Pan onto a CD burn it onto a cd?

  89. what’s the news? Is it about CB, WT, HP6, what is it?

  90. Does anyone know how Rupert got involved with WT?
    An Jo, you’re such a TEASE!!!

  91. No don’t worry, it’s nothing, I’ll check manda but not sure how to put that on a cd. if i find out will let you know ok. oh and ki i will email those links to you that you asked for.

  92. LOL She is, isn’t she? *waits patiently*

  93. oh you’re online.

  94. lol i can’t stop starring at emily blunt’s breasts in that pic up there.

    … i need some new rupert pics.

  95. News that makes you shit your pants.
    I hope you include me on that email.
    No, YOU BETTER!!!!!

    And girls I’ll work with the e-cards as fast as I can!
    I got this test on Friday that I’ve studied as an effin horse for, that’s why I’ve been kind of off from here! But I’ll make the e-card!!!

  96. typo; e-cards!!!*

  97. Hey Jo send me those links too please? I occassionaly venture into one gay forum and went soon after your comment. A few comments about Dan were interesting since it’s from a gay man’s perspective. They were overall unimpressed but nothing was said about Rupert, so I’m curious about that part. Hope Tao survives Jo’s e-mail. LOL

  98. Emily is just gorgeous. Wish I had boobs like hers. Wish I had any boobs at all. *sigh*

  99. You guys got me listening to Down with School again :)
    That comment in the gay site is so funny, I wonder hoe we never knew of that? but i’m not sure if I Rupert said that, “Danny” especially doesn’t sound like something he’d say…they may have made it all up, but if true, it is funny.
    Jo don’t tease we want to know the news too :(

  100. Don’t you guys read my comments? As I’ve been saying, Emily Blunt can play “smokin’ hot” I believe that Bill Nighy probably recommended her as a replacement for Helena BC because he’s worked with her before (Gideon’s Daughter) and has a very high regard for her abilities (see his review of her in Jane Austen Book Club). From the French write-ups and trailer, I think the relationships/chemistry between Victor and Renee and Victor and Antoine are MUCH more important to the story than the relationship/chemistry between Renee and Antoine.

    And wow guys — please don’t believe everything you read, especially on the internet. Do you guys honestly think Rupert would call Dan “Danny” (journalistic integrity? It was in quotes!), or mention ANYONE brushing up against him?? We all know Rupert has too much class to give those cheesy solicitous responses. Those kind of articles belong in the ‘rumours’ threads.

  101. Oh come on Bilius, let Danpert shippers have some fun. Of course the story is 100% false.

  102. Oh…ok I guess. But if jo gets quoted on Perez Hilton or The Sun, then I reserve the right to say “I Told you so!” :)

  103. BTW — more spamming on the forums going on.

  104. yeah, that article can be called Danpert fanfiction more easily than it can be called journalism lool
    *hates spam*

  105. Sorry girls I can’t deal with spam, Tao keeps forgetting to name me a moderator. :(
    *just another girl*

  106. hey girls guess what? My super inteligent friend found Cible Emouvante movie and download it for me. :)
    He already has it complete. Now the thing is that of course is in french and im looking for subtitles, if I dont I will see it like that and see what I can understand cuz my french is poor.

    So does anybody want to see it? You want me to upload it or something? LEt me know

    I havent see it yet. But Im very excited.

  107. Yo Val, that’s grand! How big is the file, i.e. is it possible to email it?

  108. Val, fast forward through and check to see if there’s any romance. If there is, which character(s) does it involve??

  109. Val upload it girl!!!!!
    I wanna see it!

  110. VAL if the file is too big, here’s what you can do: upload it to http://www.sendspace.com, and then send us the download link.

  111. “Now, the next scene is another I described, with Harry and Ron on the Hogwarts Express going to the burrow for Christmas. I actually think they were discussing unbreakable vows but I am not really sure because that is when Lavender turns up outside the compartment steaming up the window with her breath and writing with her finger on the glass making a heart with R+L and then steaming it up again to make it show up better. Then she mouths to Ron “I really miss you” or something and leaves. To be honest all memories of what Ron and Harry were talking about left my head as I felt the need to vomit myself. And the audience was very loud from seeing that (giggles, and sounds of being grossed out mainly)”

    LMFAO

  112. Wow that’s amazing Laura! I want to know what was Ron’s expression after that, probably he was all WTF. =D

  113. I hope he had a disgusted WTF expression!

  114. I’m going to try and take care of that spam problem tonight. But I’ve given you moddy powers, Ivana. I thought I had. lol

  115. Girls, I´ve been away, hummm since yesterday( :D ?? ) but I have a new post with a Ron and Hermione´s drawing.
    It´s based on a fanfic of an old LJ friend of mine and great writer, Willowwand, called “In the Orchard”, placed after DH, that tell us about their “first time”.
    It´s so beautiful and it´s hosted on Checkmated Bedchamber, so if you have access, there is a link on my page for it.
    Of course, I hope you all come to see my fanart, read somethings I have to say about its creation and a comment is always welcome. ;)

    Title: In the Orchard
    Rating: PG13
    Medium: gouache and watercolor pencils on Canson 180gr A4 size paper.
    Characters: Ron and Hermione

    http://lillywmw.livejournal.com/39932.html#cutid2

  116. Lilly, you know I love that story and all Willowand’s writing! I can never get over how luminescent the skin looks, how expressive their eyes, how accurate the body positioning / placements. Lovely resemblance to Belle Epoch posters!

  117. Ah Lilly, as usual, beautiful. I read the story awhile back but I think I will read it again. I love Ron/Hermione stories.

  118. Simply amazing Lilly, as always! :)

    Oh, I think I fixed our spam problem in the forum. Or, in theory at least. There’s a new way of spamming, so… :\

  119. Lilly I love your drawing it’s amazing all your drawing are amazing!!

  120. Thanks Tao. What a pain. Is there some way to be more restrictive with registration?

  121. Well, that’s what I’ve done. I’ve added a question they have to answer. It’s Rupert related, so hopefully this new spamming can’t figure it out.

  122. God I’m in desperate need for some news. *lolz*

  123. I love the picture in the header (Toronto?) with the lady with the wild red hair and purple shirt. She’s adorable, and his smile is quite pleasant.

  124. LOL Isn’t that great? I love showing Rupert with the fans. It’s really who he is, so it should be displayed. :)

    Oh Laura, remember, only 6 days until he starts filming WT! So maybe we’ll get something… *prays for early birthday present*

  125. I have to say this (regarding possible changes to the movie.)

    I’m not worried about them making changes regarding Rupert’s wonderful performance, as I am some people who have seen it being a bit bothered about the seeming emphasis on “romance.”

    Being a hardcore shipper, I for one say bring on the romance, especially, the Ron, Hermione and Lavender related stuff.

    However, (and this was before the movie was reviewed,) there are folks who didn’t like the romance in the book and thought the emphasis should be on early Voldemort and the Horcrux stuff.

    While, I was saddened that the Gaunts was left out, I love Ron, so oh well.

    But, that’s the only complaint that I’ve heard in the negative form. So, I just fear that if people (readers) who wasn’t into the shipping stuff, or (non-readers) who think that the movie is completely different from the other movies because of it were able to make suggestions, they may consider the amount of romance stuff in the book.

    I will say this as an HP fan, they’ve changed and omitted so much stuff of importance, it’s going to be hardpressed to put it back in. (However, it was hard for them to know what was important before the books were completed.)

    Studio exec: How was I to know that damn house elf from the 2nd movie was going to be such a tearjerker in the last book. I thought he was annoying. I guess we shouldn’t have cut corners there.

    I’m still convinced that Bellatrix is going to kill Neville (since he’s all but replaced Dobby) at Malfoy Manor/Shell Cottage and THEN his GHOST is going to come back and fight in the final battle and somehow kill Nagini.

    Anyway, yes, that’s my major fear is that the non-shippers will have their way and get some of the funny romantic stuff cut.

    But, they had better NOT touch my Ron!!!

    Do you think that because Ron has his major injury in HBP, they will forgo him getting splinched in DH? I have a fear they might.

  126. Thank you so much Bilius, Suzeeq, Tao, Manda for your nice words about my drawing! It means a lot to me! :)

  127. Oh dear, I didn’t respond to your drawing, Lilly.

    Sorry, I wrote something down, but I think that’s when I went to eat and never submitted it…..

    It’s lovely as always….

  128. I love Rupert’s voice work. I can’t get enough. Jo, I’ll be headin over to the Pervs to see what’s up!!!!!!

  129. Lilly, I forgot to mention–thanks for the sideburns ;)

  130. Hey guys sorry! I had this internet problem! Hate that!

    I didnt see my friend today, he will burn the movie and give it to me tomorrow! The good thing is he already watched a bit and told me that indeed it is Cible Emouvante and not porn! lol

    Thanks Ivana once I have it I will upload it there ;)

  131. Lilly your pic is fcking amazing!!

  132. No problem, AJ dear!! And thank you for the words!

    Bilius, if you like his facial hair in this one, you´ll die with the next one! ;)

    Val, I want a CD too, don´t forget me!And thank you too! :D

  133. AJ, I share those same fears!

    I want to scream, “SHUT UP COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ROMANCE!” I swear if those people at the screening get my romance cut out and I have to watch two hours of Harry play Bobbing for Memories, I won’t rest until I have hunted each and every one of those complainers down!

  134. Really nice work, Lilly! You have loads of talent!

  135. Lilly as always your work is just great. Ron and Hermione are always hot together in your paintings and drawings, love it!

  136. WELL DONE LILLY!

    I love your style so much. i imagine your art in my head in pics i know eveybody would enjoy, just can’t draw. dammit

    like i said i wish i had talent like you.

  137. It’s gorgeous, Lilly! Ron’s look is so intense and Hermionie just looks like she’s in utter bliss…love it! I wanted to read the accompanied story, but I had to register at Checkmated, and I’m waiting moderation. Can’t wait to read it!

  138. ” she is in his cannons t-shirt and ron topless ” -yweasly

    Girls.. this may be a stupid question but when you say “cannon” what does that mean?
    Im always like.. ahh ok.. but dont know the meaning. lol

  139. Chudely cannons, Val. Ron’s favorite quidditch team. :)

  140. Val well Cannon I think here means Ron’s fave Quidditch team, Chudley Cannons. Hermione walking around in any of his shirts is pretty hot though!!

    The other one, Canon like as in Canon character is just meaning like facts about a character or the story. Non-Canon is what you get in fan fiction, it didn’t happen in the original.

    hope that helps!

  141. HE DID GROW!!!

    Oh laws!!! I just ran across a pic I’ve never seen (at the F1 event, with him walking with his father and his brother.) I know, crazy that I’ve never seen this pic, right.

    And he’s almost just as tall as his dad and his brother (and his brother still has those skateboard shoes on with the high soles.)

    And he’s right up there with them.

    I knew it, just like Leo. Shot up like a dandelion.

    And I know his voice will be deep in the new films.

    Waca, waca, waca….

  142. OMG yes!! LOL
    Yeah i meant “canon” then. That’s the word i didnt knew.

    Now “cannon” that one I know. lol . It never crossed my mind when i typed it like that though!

    * feels stupid and runs *

  143. Thank you Jo! ;)
    As always really nice of you.

  144. And Tao too. !!! thanks!

    I honestly had this moment of “bad-stupid-fan”.
    I dont know why the Chuddley Cannons never came to my mind. lol.
    Im so embarassed. Ok. relax Val.

    Well im going to bed now, I was reading more fanfics from the author Lilly posted in her LJ. So beautiful they are!! :)

    Ok hopefully tomorrow I will have Cible Emouvante. *crosses fingers*
    Oh if somebody has E.mule you can download the movie from there. I dont know the exact name of the file but my friend told me they are not many if not is the only one.

    G’night ladie ;)

  145. I was just watching DL again, and talking about how wonderfully he conveys emotion just with his eyes, I just love watching his face in the bus scenes with Evie.

    He’s got all these feelings flashing on his face. You can almost hear his thoughts.

    First at the bus-stop when Evie’s cussing up a storm. He looks like he’s thinking, “Okay, just pretend you don’t know her, pretend you don’t know her…”

    I love the little glance he gives to the big guy standing next to him, hoping against hope the guy’s not paying attention to Evie’s potty mouth.

    On the bus, he’s thinking: “OMG just sit down and be quiet, please! OMG, she’s going to get us murdered by the ipod guy. No, I don’t want a ‘sweetie,’ I want you to be quiet! OMG, why won’t she shut up! OMG, kill me now, please! Wha– ‘LESBIAN??’ ARRGH! I don’t want that mental picture!’ OMG, I AM NOT GAY!!!”

  146. Lilly, wonderful art as always :) left a longer comment on you LJ
    news are slow this days, I’m bored…I miss the “we want Rupert” sign :)

  147. fugitive star, i think we must have caught the same DL showing on TV. :D i always look for those little things. his face is just so wonderfully expressive. what gets me is the way he’s able to look *truly* depressed in some scenes and then truly happy in others. all without words.

    jo, hey, would you mind maybe sending me those links as well. i’ve never thought to check those sites, and tho i know a lot of them are just blowing smoke, they can still be fun to read. my email is: earth_dragon_1@yahoo.com

  148. Hehe AJ, it’s always hard to tell when people are walking and when others are closer to a camera, but you’ve got a great point. WIth Nigel at least. He looks just as tall! Not sure about with James… I don’t think he’s that tall because Robert Sheehan was way taller than him. lol (Don’t know how tall the dude is, but I think James is like 5’11″) But who knows, that 5’10″ might be more legit now. :P

  149. ” she is in his cannons t-shirt and ron topless ” -yweasly

    Girls, girls, girls my smile is from ear to ear and you will know soon, soon, soon WHY!! :D Thanks for every comment!You´re lovely!

    Yweasley, Willowwand is a great writer and person.She´s absolutely crazy for Rupert like all the people here! Oh, and some scenes you dream of are on my list! ;)
    She has lots of stories with R&Hr and his Chudley Cannons blanket, picturing his teenage boy´s dreams coming true!
    You know I always use photos as references for my drawings and for this one I found this screencap and I stayed totally stunned by how accurate the details of HP movies prodution reach. I know it will be hard :D but take a look at the knitting details of this blanket. It´s an art piece!

  150. Well , Jo I tried the HTML code from Image shake and didn´t work! :(

    But you can look at Ron´s blanket photo here:

  151. Yeah I love Willowwand’s fanfiction, she’s ace! Lilly, if my memory serves me right, you two share a birthday, right?
    What do you think Lilly, would she be interested in becoming one of our affiliates? Perhaps we could link to her LJ, or Checkmated.

  152. You what I still enjoy watching?

    Bogies. I LMAO everytime I watch it.

  153. Yes, Ivana we both are from April 2! Wow, girl what memory! :)

    Yes, I will ask her and since she´s one of the headgirl from Checkmated, she could ask the “concils ” about to affiliate with ICM.
    I think she don´t have an open page with only her stories and her LJ is closed for only friends.
    Do you have an email that I can give to her?

  154. Thanks Lilly!

    Oh, and I do have memory like Rain Man. It’s a curse, really. :)

  155. lmfao laura
    BOGIEEEEES

  156. ” that’s a kick in the hogwarts for Grinty ”
    ” autograph hunters…..get a smack to the head ”

    LMFAO

  157. Yes please ivana and Lilly — get some of those fantastic R/Hr people to affiliate. I could give lists of my favorite R/Hr writers …. speaking of which — yweasley and FugitiveStar, you guys need to post your little ditties on the fanfiction thread at the forums. Even the simple little drib-drabbles. Come on, yweasley, you were driving us all hormonal on a previous comments thread!!

  158. :D OMG! My English !! :b
    Anyway, it´s come back to school it or stay drawing at home!
    What do you think I prefer? :D

    Ivana, I´m going to send your email adress to her.

    And I agree with Bilius, we need something to pass our time between the news!We have the thread about fanfics recs at the forum but it would be good to have some of them there too, specially drabbles.
    Come on Yweasley, start this one!

  159. As I was browsing through some of the comments pages back and whatnot; most of us have been worried that the “romance” would likely be cut down because others might still want to HARRY POTTER dark side of it. Well, here’s Emma’s tiny winnie synopsis of what the long-awaited Half-Blood Prince would look like. And LOL, she mentions the RON/LAVENDER thing first. wahaha. Go Emma, dont worry you’ll get your Ron back, just hang on there and grab him now while you can, if i were you.

    Check the last minute for the HP related stuff she says about! It’s from the latest NMA’s where she had the wardrobe malfunction.

    P.S. Looks like “The kiss” have stuck to her head the most, huh? Hmmm… I wonder why! Aaaah.. Cuz Rupert’s hot! She probably wanted some too!

  160. and Lol. Jo, I loved that you posted that big picture of Emily Blunt with those stuff poppin’ out after all the brouhaha on homosexuality!

    IMO,

    “We may never know, what we may never know. ”
    just puttin’ up some Ben love here!

  161. About the RL kiss:

    “The kiss was… um, I think Rashmi would say, ‘LIEK WHOA’. This is the one place where I don’t want to say too much because I don’t want people to get the wrong idea… and actually, Lavender is always kind of “hanging all over” Ron, but I only remember that one actual kiss.”

    Omfg. Rupert, you dog.

  162. DAMM! DAMM! DAMM! DAMM! DAMM! Why can’t this movie be out now. Jeez, but nooooo, we gotta wait until July.

  163. Off topic, but I just occured to me – of course Bill Nighy and David Yates are pals, Bill starred in “State of Play”! And he was bloody brilliant!

  164. “The kiss was… um, I think Rashmi would say, ‘LIEK WHOA’.

    Translation please!!What did she want to say? :S

  165. huh? what exactly does she mean about the kiss?!

  166. hahhahahah Laura lolz! I want that speciifc pic!

  167. yeah, could someone please explain what does that mean about the kiss?? was it good or bad??

  168. She’s answering questions in this forum
    http://www.hogwartsradio.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=40

  169. Yes, Ivana. I love State of Play. All the actors were brilliant. He also directed him in The Girl in the Cafe with Kelly McDonald.

  170. thanks a lot for the link Laura!! I’m so happy we are getting spoilers about the movie, I can’t wait to see Rupert.

  171. Aww, she said the saddest scene in the movie is when Hermione sends the birds after Ron. I’m very excited to see Emma in this one.
    Aaaaaaaand, someone asked her about the chemistry between the couples, & she said it was great, tension between R/Hr & true friendship between H/Hr, I knew there was something wrong with the person who wrote the Leaky report lol.

    “As far as the kiss… okay, I’m cringing just thinking about the reaction you’re going to have, but I’m just going to say it… they get the Harry/Ginny kiss everyone was hoping for as described in the book. She runs at Ron after the Quidditch victory and jumps on him and kisses him… actually kind of looks like she’s trying to eat his face (it’s PERFECT – I promise!)… but it just… works, you know? It’s a good scene, and the two of them seem to work well together!”

    lol

  173. LOL! Atta girl, Lav-Lav!!

    Eat his face. Eat it for us all! :D
