Story Overview:
PotterManiac Galleries have new photos from the Half-Blood Prince filming. Translation from

PotterManiac's story, translated:
"Beware, it's time to boggle your mind. While filming the sixth film of the Harry Potter saga, Half-Blood Prince, a huge and mysterious construct is being built within the confines of Leavesden studios. After a long study of the photos of this huge structure, we still have not quite managed to solve its mystery as to what it could be in Half-Blood Prince."

Perhaps this structure is the orphanage? What do you think?

"One" Magazine Article Interview

Story Translation:
Here is the first official photo from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which is still being filmed in London studios. Even though many secrets from the films production are still well kept, some juicy information has made its way to the public. Daniel Radcliffe has revealed that the sixth film in the Harry Potter series is more comic than its predecessors.

"The motto of this film is a little bit of 'Sex, drugs, and Rock 'n' Roll,'" explains the actor. "Many people flirt with each other, causing lots of jealousy. I think it's going to be really hilarious!"

In fact, recently, Rupert Grint shot a scene with in which Ron kisses Lavender Brown, a student at Hogwarts, portrayed by twenty year old actress Jessie Cave.

"It'll make Hermione extremely jealous," reveals Emma Watson, "And, to see Hermione jealous, I can assure you it's worth the trip!"

In the film, Harry will also make Cho Chang jealous when he kisses Ginny Weasley for the first time.

"We haven't shot this scene yet, but it'll be a bit bizarre to kiss Bonnie [Wright] because we've been friends since we were ten," Daniel Radcliffe admits. "I think we'll be struggling to stop ourselves from bursting into laughter."

To say we're impatient is an understatement! A reminder: here, the film will be released to cinemas on November 26th. The countdown has begun...
