Interview with Half-Blood Prince Death Eater
Interview with Half-Blood Prince Death Eater Last week we told you about several new minor casting announcements, including a Death Eater played by Lord Johnpaul Castrianni.

Today, Blog Hogwarts conducted a small interview with him, and The Portkey has translated it. The most interesting thing that came out of the interview was word that a few important casting announcements haven't been made yet.

BH: Have you already shot scenes of Half-Blood Prince? In which scenes are you present?
LJC: My scenes were filmed several months ago and I finished in February (2008). I was in the scenes regarding Alan Rickman, Dan, Michael (Dumbledore) Tom (Malfoy) and several other cast who I believe have not been officially published by Warner Brothers yet, so unfortunately I cannot comment on that yet.

Sounds like fun. I think being an extra, especially in that big scene there, would be more enjoyable than starring sometimes.

cool wonder wut language.


Posted by narglelvr May 12th 2008

That is soo awesome, I want to be an extra in Harry Potter!! His eyes look creepy


Posted by MagicMaker222 May 12th 2008

scary dude

Yayy more characters thet haven't been announced!! A Bill Weasley perhaps?? I might be asking for too much!


Posted by Lupinpatronus May 12th 2008

Lucky guy! I like how he compared being in Harry Potter to working at Disney World, that's great. And finally, someone in the movies who actually read the books! This man deserves a bigger part for that fact alone. Anyway, I wonder which cast members haven't been announced. My mind immediately jumped to Scrimgeour; I heard Bill Nighy was in talks for the role if they kept the character in the script. I could be wrong though; sounds like he's talking about Dumbledore's death scene (I can't think of too many other scenes with Snape, Harry, Malfoy and Dumbledore all together). He was probably just talking about the other Death Eaters...

Top of the Astronomy Tower?


Posted by maxevans19 May 12th 2008

Sounds intriguing. Wonder what they are hiding! Hehe.


Posted by Erfa May 12th 2008

That can pretty much only be the Astronomy tower. I wonder who the unannounced cast members are. Aren't all important people in that scene pretty much known already?


Posted by dachosenone May 12th 2008

I can't believe they haven't made all the castung announcements yet! What are they waiting for?


Posted by MBish024 May 12th 2008

Interesting...


Posted by angelina_johnson92 May 12th 2008

That was a good interview. I'm glad that he's an HP fan.


Posted by the_shrieking_snack May 12th 2008

Hmmm...so secretive....I NEED A TRAILER OF HBP!!! hehe!


Posted by originalsamshu May 12th 2008

Perhaps they're moving the Astronomy Tower scene to The Burrow during Dobby and the Giant Squid's wedding!! Goofy? That's okay!! The filmakers aren't concerned with silly details!! I can't wait to see Crabbe kill off Snape at the end of the movie!!


Posted by hpninjaskills May 12th 2008

I've no idea what to think, but this intrigues me ! Lol. :) P.S.: NEED TRAILER NOW. BEFORE I START HAVING A STROKE.........seriously. Gah.


Posted by Fia May 12th 2008

Interesting comments... Does anyone know if they really took the Gaunts out of this movie? Because if they did, Deathly Hallows is going to be really confusing to the people who didn't read it! Don't y'all agree?


Posted by hpintwense06 May 12th 2008

That's good to hear, because I was getting worried that there weren't going to be any more casting announcements at all. and yeahhh I want the trailer, too!!


Posted by Fia May 12th 2008

Anyone have an answer to my question? And when does the trailer come out?? Peace, Love, Singing!


Posted by phoenix1946 May 12th 2008

I say, that's a bit strange. A British actor who doesn't speak English! What happened to the requirement that the actors be British? Good to hear that he is a fan and has read the books.


Posted by Fia May 12th 2008

He doesn't speak English?? How are we going to understand him in the movie if he says something???


Posted by Rose37 May 12th 2008

He looks more like a gone all bad doctor who!!! That is why, even with not reading the interview, I could tell that he is going to make a great death eater, don't you think???


Posted by Abergoat May 12th 2008

phoenix1946, it's highly possible he's fluent in more than one language. I believe to be in the Potter films, you just need to be a British citizen. He could have been from Spain or somewhere else originally, but he might be a British citizen now. And Fia, I doubt he has any lines at all. There were a whole bunch of Death Eaters in OOTP who had no lines.


Posted by Rooneys_Boot May 12th 2008

He so looks like a Sytherin.


Posted by alix_potter_cullen May 12th 2008

He must be talking about the scene on top of the Astronomy tower! The one where poor Dumbles... x( I wonder what Death Eater he is? Just a random background one?


Posted by KingDobby May 12th 2008

that guy looks like a death eater!!


Posted by rooon May 12th 2008

Cool! : )


Posted by alexxx May 12th 2008

hes kinda scary lmao! but i guess thats a good thing.. i never really realized how many people are casted for harry potter films, like theres a ton of people who dont even have lines, and theyre just extras! its crazzy


Posted by Jbird May 12th 2008

guys, he doesn't speak spanish... they interviewed him in english than translated it into spanish for their site. This is authentic seeing as i posted the news. Jeremy www.the-po rtkey.com


Posted by phoenix_knight May 12th 2008

Wow, David Yates is on the ROLL! He's like fitting in EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER from HBP, and OVER HALF of them won't make it to DH, mainly because JK Rowling pays more attention to the trio and the characters that we 're VERY familiar with. I mean you don't even see Neville Longbottom untill the very end of the book, but Dean Thomas, who's always the background boy, finally plays HIS part in DH, can't wait! And was it just me, or was i under the impression that Dean Thomas and Luna Lovegood were kinda GOING OUT in DH??? I mean they held hands and hugged, except for kissing, lol


Posted by Fia May 12th 2008

Me and my friend think that he's going to butcher Halpf-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows... We hope we're proved wrong, though!


Posted by Lupinpatronus May 12th 2008

I love originalsamshu's comment above. : D It's funny 'cause it's true!

I wonder if David will keep Lupin and Tonks alive?

I've said it before,I believe that WB and everyone involved will amke sure we fans are satisfied.I think they should not reveal all characters and surprise us in the movie itself.I had a premenition and HBP did not disapoint,Have faith HP fans everywhere.


Posted by hpintwense06 May 12th 2008

I like how he said he works at Disney World =P


Posted by 62442MAGIC May 12th 2008

Sweet!! I'm soo psyched for this film! My confermation: everyone go over to Leaky disscusion forum of the movies and read this person's post of a recent visit to the HBP set! You will NOT BE DISAPOINTED! (its on pg.2, down a bit). http://www.leakylounge. com/Visit-HBP-filmset-t60 162.html&st=10


Posted by Jbird May 12th 2008

also available at: www.the-portkey.com, in a much more legible order.


Posted by mac_attack May 12th 2008

according to 62442MAGIC 's interview, there is a baby Tom Riddle doll-which probably means that they will in fact cast the gaunts (or at least merope). or, they could just be lame and leave him on the doorstep of the orphanage. but that interview was really really pimp. now i know what to look out for in the movies, especially all those detailed stuff. and i think that johnpaul really does look like a ligit death eater and im really happy that he is a fan, although i HIGHLY doubt he is the biggest fan out there.


Posted by trueligth May 12th 2008

Good, because he is a new of the member of the HP family and to know something of him before we see him in the big screen.


Posted by rooon May 12th 2008

: )


Posted by heartthrobtawd May 12th 2008

Maybe he's Gibbon. That's a demanding role.


Posted by phoenix_knight May 12th 2008

Of Course heartthrobtawd, because he accidentally DIES in the end! LMAO!


Posted by HpAlwaysN4ever May 13th 2008

As other people mentioned, it definitely seems like the scene on "the lightning struck tower"


Posted by Rose37 May 13th 2008

All the daring young man, only die!!! Which is sad, but true!!!


Posted by justin071602 May 13th 2008

So, being in the US I am a little confused. What he is he lord of? I tried to find some stuff online, but found nothing. I found lord of Kensington, but no relation to baron kensington. A site I found stated he assumed his title in 2007.


Posted by flipgirl May 13th 2008

CANT WAIT FOR THE MOVIE! AND IM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DEATH EATER SCENES


Posted by Rose37 May 15th 2008

Does No one else see this guy and the next Doctor who???
