<h1>1, the saddest premiere</h1>
In July 2009, the world premiere of "The Half-Blood Prince" was held in London, and the cast and crew attended the ceremony as usual, but unlike previous premieres, this time it was filled with a depressing atmosphere, as if even the air was heavy - the cast members all wore white ribbons and collectively mourned Robert Knox, who participated in the film.
A year before the premiere, he was killed at the age of 18 when he was stabbed with a dagger to protect his brother in a london bar fight.
The name Robert Knox is sure to be unfamiliar to you, and the young lad who died young played Marcus Belby in Half-Blood Prince, as one of the students invited by Professor Slughorn to a dinner party.
Although the lines are only three or four sentences, they are a foodie Geng Zhi boy set up.
Good way
The fact that the half-blood prince had just been packaged at the time of Robert Knox's murder has reignited public concern about youth violence, and the problem of juvenile delinquency is one of Britain's biggest social headaches.
The problem may be better now, but it was really serious before.
If you want to feel how worried the British are about this, I highly recommend that you go to see a thriller called "Lake Eden", the male number one is a French shark, except that he is German, the other creators are British.
The film won a bunch of awards that year, such as the Empire Magazine Best Horror Film Award, the style is extremely realistic, extremely sadistic, and you absolutely want to use magic to jump into the movie and kill the bear child demons after watching it.
One of the very few films in which The Law Shark was abused
<h1>2, the original "destroyed" bridge</h1>
The Half-Blood Prince has a very standard Hollywood-style beginning.
The smoke-filled Death Eaters roared through Trafalgar Square, flew over Charing Cross, then blasted into Diagon Alley to destroy ollivander's wand shop and kidnap the owner, then tear apart London's commercial heartland and destroy the Millennium Bridge over the River Thames.
The original novel does not have this paragraph, it is the original script.
It should be noted that London Millennium Bridge was officially opened in June 2000, and this Harry Potter story took place around 1996, so it is obviously a gang or BUG.
Of course, it can be said that the crew is not rigorous, and it can also be said that the crew has made up such a scene closely related to the Muggle world in order to have a better box office for the film.
Producer David put it this way:
"We liked the idea that the wizarding world was right next door to our real world, adding to the believability of the film and giving the audience a more realistic sense of substitution."
It is worth mentioning that the actor David Legno, who played the werewolf leader Fenrir Greyback, died in 2014 at the age of 51.
Fenrir, who turned Lupin into a werewolf
<h1>3. The Greatest Wizard</h1>
In the first Harry Potter film, the Gryffindor Triumvirate traces the identity of Nicholas Flamel when they find a clue on a Chocolate Frog Wizard card, which is Dumbledore, which lists the main achievements of his career.
Specifically:
Defeated the Dark Wizard Gellert Grindelwald in 1945
Discover the twelve uses of Dragon Blood
With Nicole Flamel was effective in alchemy
Recipient of the Order of The Order of Merlin, First Class
Supreme Wizarding Court Ofsengamo Chief Wizard
President of the International Federation of Magic
He has been nominated by the Minister for Magic several times
In the movie "The Half-Blood Prince", Dumbledore takes Harry to visit Horace Slughorn's residence, and as soon as he enters the house, he determines that it is dragon's blood by licking the unknown liquid dripping from the ceiling, proving that he is indeed an expert in dragon blood research.
Of course, looking at the entire series, there is another great achievement, that is, to guide Harry to defeat Voldemort.
Interesting anecdote, in the preparatory stage of the film, the original script has a scene about Dumbledore falling in love with a girl, after all, Dumbledore is the most powerful wizard in modern times, and there must be many viewers interested in his love history.
However, J.K. Rowling read the script and immediately deleted this paragraph and stated the reasons directly:
"Dumbledore is curved".
When we were young, we were too simple, and sure enough, some movies and televisions can only be understood when they grow up...
In fact, in the subway shortly after the beginning of "The Half-Blood Prince", Dumbledore stood in front of a billboard with the following slogan:
"Magic perfume, give men some magic tonight"
Probably a hint at Dumbledore's sexual orientation
Since "Prisoner of Azkaban", Dumbledore's actor has been replaced by Michael Gamben, and I think that Although Ganben is less polite than the original headmaster, he is more strong and even a little naughty.
There is a scene in Prisoner of Azkaban about Sirius Black infiltrating Hogwarts Castle and causing panic, so the headmaster decides to gather the students in the lobby and let them sleep there at night.
Behind the scenes, Daniel wishes he could sleep next to the girl he likes (the unsolved mystery).
The crew deliberately stuffed a farting machine in Daniel's sleeping bag, and then Ganben read the lines while pressing the farting machine, which soon caused a lot of laughter, although it was a small teasing, but the picture was very loving, and Ganben made a silver bell-like giggle.
Serious positives, funny behind the scenes
<h1>4. Foreshadowing of Horcruxes</h1>
Voldemort actively crafted six item Horcruxes and passively crafted a live Horcrux.
These Horcruxes are foreshadowed in Half-Blood Prince.
In the reminiscence scene, Dumbledore's room where he meets little Tom Riddle at the orphanage is buried with hints or details.
The camera shows a book, seven stones, and a painting.
A book that may hint at the Horcruxes— Tom Riddle's Diary;
Seven stones, which may imply that there are seven Horcruxes;
As for the painting, it is directly explicit, the content is the coast and the reef, and it is a specific location where the Horcrux is hidden, which is the scene where Dumbledore takes Harry into the cave to find the Horcrux later in the movie.
Behind the scenes, the opening was photographed at the Moher Cliffs on the west coast of Ireland.
Then The childhood Voldemort took out some things from the cabinet, which he seemed to have stolen back, and the dark orange one, which I think in appearance may also hint at the Horcrux, Salazar Slytherin's pendant box.
At the end of this memory, the childhood Voldemort also said that he could communicate with the snake, which should be a hint of another Horcrux, Nagini.
The childhood Voldemort actor was named Hiro Vannes-Tiffin, and in reality this little boy was the nephew of the adult Voldemort actor Ralph Fiennes.
<h1>5, Aunt Becky became a de mother</h1>
Draco Malfoy's mother was Narcissa Malfoy, played by Helen McCloller, who had planned to invite her to play Bellatrix Lestrange in The Order of the Phoenix, but she was pregnant at the time, so she regrettably gave up that important role.
In this way, Bellatrix, the scorpion witch, let Helena Bonham Carter play, and Helen McClollett played the debut mother, Narcissa Malfoy, in "The Half-Blood Prince" a year later.
Of course, both actors have played their respective roles deeply in the hearts of the people, but Aunt Hai is too eye-catching, and perfectly shapes a crazy woman who makes fans both fear and hate.
<h1>6. Weasley Joke Shop</h1>
The Weasley Joke Shop, also known as the Weasley Magic Trick Shop, was founded by the Weasley twins at 93 Diagon Alley after dropping out of school.
Behind the scenes, the crew took months to build, not only the exterior decoration, but also the details and props inside.
The graphic design team named all the products that appeared in the Weasley Joke Shop, and allegedly came up with more than 300 names, each product made at least 100 pieces, and 100 pieces were completed in about four days, and finally the props filled the entire store.
The Weasley Joke Shop, though sparsely played, impressed the audience, with countless fans dreaming of visiting this magic shop that sells all sorts of new and exotic gadgets, just as the movie's customers loved it.
About Gemini, tell an interesting thing.
At least starting with Half-Blood Prince, Gemini Fred actor James Phelps walked from the front of the stage to the backstage.
He held the position of assistant director, responsible for coordination and communication between various departments, and ensuring that the actors and staff were present on time, which was half an errand, because sometimes he had to send some food and drink to the actors, and experience the work and atmosphere of each department from the bottom.
Can you tell who is Fred and who is George?
<h1>7, Ron's kissing scene, emotional drama</h1>
If Harry's first kiss was romantic and beautiful, Ron's first kiss was comedy and obsession.
The character who plays Ron's first love is Lavender Brown, and the actor Jesse Kraft filmed the kiss scene on the third day, and the kiss scene has only met a few times before the kiss scene, plus there are nearly 100 actors on the shooting scene who are watching, booing and cheering, so Rupert feels nervous and embarrassed.
Anyway, the scene was filmed more than 20 times before it was officially completed, and if I am not mistaken, the accurate number of NG in that scene reached 27 times.
Famous scenes
The relationship between Ron and Hermione finally entered the main drama in the sixth part, but it survived the Roche Party.
Shortly after the film, Harry is transferred by Dumbledore to Weasley's burrow, where they come out to greet her, with Ron finding that Hermione has toothpaste at the corner of her mouth and prompting her.
Later, when Slughorn was teaching potions, there was a crucible made of ecstasy, and everyone could smell their favorite smell.
Among them, Hermione smelled toothpaste, which was the smell of Ron's family, and later, the two gradually revealed their love.
<h1>8, almost filmed a nude scene of Draco</h1>
"The Half-Blood Prince" is the one with the strongest sour smell of love, as if the whole is caught in the whirlpool of love, but only the brother is pushing the main line, silently completing the career and task, every time he appears in his shot, the painting style and the three giants are completely two worlds.
Draco Malfoy's actor Tom Felton was one of the very few young actors with professional acting experience at the time, and here's an eye-opening and even regrettable behind-the-scenes story.
Do you remember that in the fourth movie" "Goblet of Fire", there is such a scene:
When Harry learned that the first level of the Triwizard Tournament was to fight the dragon, he went to inform Cedric the next day, and then encountered Draco's professional taunt gang, Harry replied fiercely, Draco angrily pulled out his wand and tried to cast a spell on it, but was immediately turned into a ferret by the crazy-eyed Moody on the side.
In fact, in the initial split-shot draft, the plan was to shoot like this:
When Draco changed from ferret to human form, he was naked and naked...
Initial shot one
He was ashamed to pick up his clothes and put them on, and then fled...
Initial split shot two
Later, the crew considered that many viewers were underage children, and it was not good to broadcast such a vigorous scene, so they denied the original manuscript.
What a pity, what a pity...
"The Half-Blood Prince" grossed 50.7 million (pounds) in the UK in 2009, the most expensive theatrical film in the UK that year, and the second place was "Avatar", but the latter was released at the end of the year, 5 months later than "The Half-Blood Prince".
In terms of word of mouth, "The Half-Blood Prince" in our douban is the lowest score in the entire series, and the domestic audience seems to dislike this one the most, which may have something to do with writing Dumbledore, what do you think?
