Well, the drought on new images from the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is certainly over, as our Order partner DanRadcliffe.com now has scans from the August issue of Empire Magazine that includes even more new photos from the sixth Harry Potter film. Of interest is our first look at a helmeted Quidditch Keeper Ron Weasley (and be sure to look at the reaction on the faces of his friend Hermione, with Ginny and Harry dressed in their Gryffindor uniforms.) In addition, there is another photo of Jim Broadbent as Professor Horace Slughorn with Harry Potter.
The article contains new nuggets of information including a bit on the dreadful Fenrir Greyback, as well as the inferi in the movie, who Dan Radcliffe refers to by saying “They’re horrible,” shivers Radcliffe. “They made me think of bodies in concentration camps. It’s that terrible look of a body that’s wasted away, but not a skeleton. There are a couple of child Inferi too.” Please note the scans from the magazine at DR.com are rather large (but wonderful to enjoy!)
radcakesfan, you a Professional Riot Inciter by trade, or what? Professional Instigator, maybe? (If you don’t know, look ‘em up.)
Anyone see anything odd/strange/unusual/remarkable about the reactions of Hermione, Harry, and Ginny to Ron’s Quidditch gear? They’re just sitting there, looking at him seriously. I don’t see much beyond that. Anyone else?
Slughorn is maybe around 60% of what I thought he’d be like, but most of it is the feeling Broadbent puts across. To me, his looks are quite a bit off, but I tend to get attached to the character images in my head.
Is Empire available in the US? or do we have to wait a month or so longer and get it somewhere like Border’s or Barnes & Noble that carries magazines from overseas? I HAVE GOT TO GET A COPY, PERHAPS TWO, OF THIS ISSUE!
Dan and Bonnie look so well together, I love H/G!
I guess that’s the house were Slughorn is hiding at the beggining. It’s not exactly how I pictured Slughorn would look, I miss a moustache. But on the other hand now I’m looking foward to see the Inferi!!
The description of the inferi gave me goose bumps. Everything sounds amazing. the way they’re approaching the film now just gets me sooo excited. I really can’t wait to see what they’ve done with it. as long as it’s not too short then i’m going to love it!!
Slughorn looks awesome. Jim Broadbent is an amazing actor.
i wish the romance side of HBP would be made real. no offence but i did not quite appreciate GOF cause i thought it was a perfect chance to make HAGRID famous even though i enjoyed it. i hope the director does not concerntrate only on Dan & Bonnie but Rupert & Emma as well when it comes to the romance & not forgetting the trailer & action part as well. TOO MUCH OF EVERYTHING IS BAD !
This may be late but I got to say something. The picture of Slughorn and Harry couldn’t that be when harry takes ron to go and see him. Because I can see slughorn holding a bottle of wine or the poisin meade stuff. But we can’t ron though he could be standing behind slughorn.
OMG!!! Harry (Dan) suddenly you look all grown up!!! Its like watching my 13 yr old this past 12 months…suddenly he is 7 ” taller than me and I think…can this be happening???
I can’t wait till the next film..funny thing about being an adult fan, you can see the changes/growth…and live them at the same time…Dan, Emma, Rupert et al…we live and see your growth, and it parallels our lives. Never think that your fan base is only your age!
Kick ass in the next movie…WE CRAVE MORE POTTER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My cousin and I were just discussing Slughorn last night after I showed him the new pics on here. Its funny because we both said we had always imagined Slughorn as looking almost un-human because he was so large and well “slug-like” with his walrus mustache. Needless to say we were a bit disappointed by how unlike the Slughorn in the book(in our minds) they had made Jim Broadbent. I think because he looks so unlike the book version of Slughorn everything is going to count entirely on his acting, but Jim Broadbent is a brilliant actor so I think he might still be able to pull it off.
fantasic im supper happy we get to see Quidditch in this movie and since they left out a whole bunch from the order of ther phoenix like them being prefects but i think this movies going to be the best icant wait
"A Muggle," said Hagrid, "it's what we call nonmagic folk like them. An' it's your bad luck you grew up in a family o' the biggest Muggles I ever laid eyes on."
