< Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film)


Trivia about Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film) includes:

  • Alternate DVD Commentary:
  • Creative Closing Credits: The words form out of ink-like clouds the way images in the Pensieve do. The music opens with "Fireworks", which was composed for the previous film. Last film to use Creative Closing Credits.
  • Creator Cameo:
    • J. K. Rowling can be seen on the cover of the magazine Dumbledore takes from the house due to the "knitting patterns".
    • Alfonso Cuarón is the man seated holding two lit candles when Harry enters Madame Rosmerta's tavern.
  • Jittercam: Used when Harry is pursuing Bellatrix in the field outside of the Burrow.
  • Never Trust a Trailer: A good majority of the ads for this movie consisted of wacky modern dance music in the background while trying to imply that it will be nothing but a wacky magical teen romantic comedy movie, which half-right, but that still doesn't excuse there being about... one commercial made that made any mention of, you know... Voldemort.
  • Trailers Always Spoil: The trailer spoils just about every major plot point, excluding Horcruxes and Dumbledore's death. Yes, they even show Harry fighting Snape.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • The adult casting for the film:
      • Bob Hoskins was nearly cast as Horace Slughorn.
      • Naomi Watts was rumored to have been cast as Narcissa Malfoy, but was later revealed that she had never even been considered.
    • This film almost had a scene where Dumbledore reminisces about a witch he had a romance with. J.K. Rowling sent back the script with "HE'S GAY" written on that part of the script. The scene was promptly cut.
