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.
That is soo awesome, I want to be an extra in Harry Potter!! His eyes look creepy
scary dude
Yayy more characters thet haven't been announced!! A Bill Weasley perhaps?? I might be asking for too much!
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?
Sounds intriguing. Wonder what they are hiding! Hehe.
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?
I can't believe they haven't made all the castung announcements yet! What are they waiting for?
Interesting...
That was a good interview. I'm glad that he's an HP fan.
Hmmm...so secretive....I NEED A TRAILER OF HBP!!! hehe!
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!!
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.
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?
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!!
Anyone have an answer to my question? And when does the trailer come out?? Peace, Love, Singing!
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.
He doesn't speak English?? How are we going to understand him in the movie if he says something???
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???
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.
He so looks like a Sytherin.
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?
that guy looks like a death eater!!
Cool! : )
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
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
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
Me and my friend think that he's going to butcher Halpf-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows... We hope we're proved wrong, though!
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.
I like how he said he works at Disney World =P
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
also available at: www.the-portkey.com, in a much more legible order.
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.
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.
: )
Maybe he's Gibbon. That's a demanding role.
Of Course heartthrobtawd, because he accidentally DIES in the end! LMAO!
As other people mentioned, it definitely seems like the scene on "the lightning struck tower"
All the daring young man, only die!!! Which is sad, but true!!!
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.
CANT WAIT FOR THE MOVIE! AND IM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DEATH EATER SCENES
Does No one else see this guy and the next Doctor who???
