Yeah, if she decided to do either a stage or film musical, I think that'd be really cool. But for god's sake, Emma, keep away from the pop music. We do not need another ~*triple threat*~.

Exactly. As long as she's still ACTING then I wouldn't mind her singing for a role. I'd actually really like to see her in a musical stage play. I think that'd be really entertaining.

Additional casting has been announced for characters in the upcoming “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” film. As referenced briefly in the recent PotterCast interview with Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, the role of would be Gryffindor keeper Cormac McLaggen will be portrayed by actor Freddie Stroma. CBBC Newsround also reports that “18-year-old Louis Cordice will play Blaise Zabini, a Slytherin student who dislikes muggle borns.” Lovelorn Romilda Vane, who inadvertently causes Ron a bit of havoc, will be played by actress Anna Shaffer. Rounding out the casting updates includes word that actress Georgina Leonidas will take on the part of Gryffindor chaser Katie Bell, with her friend Leanne to be played by Isabella Laughland. Finally , actor Robert Knox will play Ravenclaw student Marcus Belby. As reported previously, many of the scenes with the students at Hogwarts will be filmed starting in early January. “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” will be released in theaters November 21, 2008. (From The Leaky Cauldron.) I hope they remember that Blaise is black.... And looks "exotic".... (Because until HBP, everyone thought he was either a girl or a white Italian boy.) I think it should be illegal to announce casting decisions and not release photos of the actors... EDIT Newsround has two pictures up of two actors. One is Louis Cordice (Blaise), who is indeed black (though not exactly what I pictured for Blaise... I pictured a mix between black (as in the color of the skin) and Middle Eastern almost (as in facial features. I pictured him with a thin, distinguished nose)), and the other is one of the other boys. I'm inclined to say Cormac, but I hope not, because that's not really how I pictured Cormac looking. It's either Robert Knox or Freddie Stroma. Second Edit It is indeed Freddie Stroma at the top of the page, aka Cormac. I pictured Cormac kind of robust and manly, with an adult face minus facial hair and very almost emo-y hair (like Alex Watson in his cameo in OotP, but not quite as long and a little darker.) Maybe I just need to see a full headshot of him... He's not half bad, his face just has more roundness to it than I imagined.

Yeah, I want to see who they recast for Katie (I missed the old Katie and I don't know WHY they recast her. They've done it twice. She was played by the same blonde girl in SS and CoS, and then by a different girl in GoF and didn't appear in PoA and OotP.) I also want to know why they can take the time to recast a minor character like Leanne but they couldn't be bothered to cast Marietta in OotP, and therefore they made Cho take the blame for ratting on the DA and thus made everyone hate her all the more. *bitter about that*
And ugh, I've edited that post to high heaven. Poor thing. *pats it*

Ugh! It should be illegal to post about unknown/semi-unknown actors without posting pictures too! I hope they're released soon.
And yes! Marietta was in every DA scene and was the one to royally screw the DA over by tattling, and she was in HBP for a bit with her horrible jinx (a la Hermione.) Leanne is in HBP for five seconds, and her part could very easily have been made into Katie Bell's. I mean, I'm all for canon and all, and I like that they got a little detail right FOR ONCE, but this is just stupid.

No, Leanne was the one hurt by the cursed necklace. They could have just made Katie herself do it - have her be cursed, have her be curious about what's inside the package, make her look, she accidentally touches it, and BAM. See, was that so hard?
Ugh. I am so readapting the books in about ten or so years.

lol I only read it once because, quite frankly, I found all the romance horribly written. JKR does really good action sequences and such, but I find first time fanfiction better than her romance.
I do file away the contents of the book, though, in the back of my brain where it stays with everything else I don't need to know, lol.

Yeah, I love that... They cut the Gaunts from the film, though. I wanted to see Merope! (I love her. It's just sad that she inadvertenly f--ked up the wizarding world.)
I do read some over. I try to wait until I have a day or two where I'm doing absolutely nothing so that I can read the book in one sitting, and I reread the books before the films are released. (I read the book that is currently being released, so sometime next year, about a week before it's in theaters, I'm rereading HBP.)
