Every year at Hogwarts seems to get darker and darker. But when Harry Potter starts his sixth year in "Half-Blood Prince," expect things to lighten up a bit.
"If we pull [it] off [right], it should be the funniest of the films so far," Daniel Radcliffe promised.
That's because, as director David Yates points out, it's the "sex, drugs, and rock and roll" of the Potter books, with massive making-out sessions to occur for several characters — Ron and Lavender, Harry and Ginny — as they come of age. "It's the 'American Graffiti' for this set," Yates said. "I'm looking forward to developing the relationship between Ron and Hermione, and Ron and Lavender. There's a nice triangle there."
The biggest relationship being developed in "Prince" is, of course, the one between Harry and Dumbledore, as the professor takes the student under his wing and shows him Voldemort's back story (as much as it can be pieced together) in the memory-revealing Pensieve. "I'm jealous of Dumbledore taking all the scenes," laughed Evanna Lynch, who plays Luna Lovegood. "But what they've done is really good."
Some of those Voldemort memories required a younger Tom Riddle to join the cast, so Hero Fiennes-Tiffin (Ralph Fiennes' nephew) and Frank Dillane are now aboard to play the 11-year-old version and 16-year-old versions of the Dark Lord, respectively. Even though — like Ralph — Frank is presumably non-evil in real life, Evanna says she's a little scared to approach her newest castmember just yet. "I saw him, but to go up and say, 'Hi'? He's Voldemort!" she said. "But maybe I will. He has a quiet, dark side, so people don't know him much yet. He doesn't say much. I'm sure he's a lovely boy. But he does have that aura."
Once casting was completed, the actors had a read-through — excluding Katie Leung, said the actress who plays Harry's former crush, Cho Chang. Not because Cho is not to be seen in this next installment — which you might have guessed from the way their love story ended in "Order of the Phoenix," out Tuesday (December 11) on DVD — but because Katie started university in the fall. She'll be back on set in January to shoot her "Prince" scenes and hopes to be back yet again for the finale scenes in "Deathly Hallows."
"There's still a slight jealousy there with Ginny to be resolved," she said. "I'm glad she's there fighting for the good side even though her relationship with Harry didn't work out in the end."
For all the jealousy Katie faced when Cho became Harry's first kiss, Bonnie Wright (who plays Ginny) hopes fans don't have the same response to her more extended kissing scenes. "I suppose our relationship lasts longer than Cho and Harry, but remember — at the end of [Book] Six, Harry and I can't be together," she said. "It'll be funny to do [the make-out scenes], but it's just a film! Hopefully people will just enjoy it and not get too jealous," she laughed.
"I knew Bonnie when she was 10, so that's going to be very odd!" Radcliffe laughed. "It's going to be fine, but it's going to be funny."

What is it with all of the comparison typed content all over the internet between Twilight and Harry Potter?
Well I suppose they can be compared by their levels of success--but not really--harry potter is on another level.
And as a story, it's like comparing a coloring book to a good novel. Apples and oranges people.
In Harry Potter JK Rowling creates a whole other universe for readers to lose themselves in. Stephanie Meyer on the other hand has just slapped together a barely readable teenage fantasy.
RL. Stines Goosebumps books are more engagnig that Twilight for Pete's sake.
I have watched one of the Twilight movies and didn't find it enjoyable at all. What is so enjoyable about watching an ungrateful teenage protagonist that does little more than moan and complain? Nothing.
