There are many stories in the wizarding world. Probably the biggest is that of Harry James Potter, the boy who lived and conquered the dark lord.

However, Harry's story was not the only central one happening. Whilst he and his friends were struggling year after year, other students experienced their own problems and triumphs. Each student is unique, they all have their past, present and future.

It's time to take a turn in the magical world that wasn't in the original books.

Warner Brothers have started to release details of the cast returning for the adaptation of the Half Blood Prince as well as a number of new names. An official synopsis has now been revealed. David Yates has also been confirmed as Director.

Quote:
 
Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simpering with jealousy but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.


This is the confirmed cast:
Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter
Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley
Emma Watson as Hermione Granger
Michael Gambon as Albus Dumbledore
Jim Broadbent as Horace Slughorn
Alan Rickman as Severus Snape
Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy
Bonnie Wright as Ginny Weasley
Matthew Lewis as Neville Longbottom
Evanna Lynch as Luna Lovegood
Robbie Coltrane as Rubeus Hagrid
Maggie Smith as Minerva McGonagall
David Thewlis as Remus Lupin.
Natalia Tena as Nymphadora Tonks
Helen McCrory as Narcissa Malfoy
Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange,
Timothy Spall as Peter Pettigrew
Hero Fiennes Tiffin and Frank Dillane will each play Tom Riddle, at age eleven and as a teenager respectively.
Jessie Cave as Lavender Brown
Georgina Leonidas as Katie Bell
Anna Shaffer as Romilda Vane
Warwick Davis as Filius Flitwick
David Bradley as Argus Filch
Katie Leung as Cho Chang in a very brief role.
Taylor Triphook and Katie Head, who have been noted to be redheads, will play twins in the film, roles not from the books.
Ashley Whitehead has been cast as an orphan in the film
Louis Cordice as Blaise Zabini
Freddie Stroma as Cormac McLaggen
Isabella Laughland as Leanne
Robert Knox as Marcus Belby
Scarlett Byrne as Pansy Parkinson
Ralph Ineson as Amycus Carrow
Dave Legeno as Fenrir Greyback

Also there is talk of Bill Nighy playing the role of Rufus Scrimgeour, unfortunately there has been no absolute confirmation since it is unknown whether he has made the final cut of the script.

Though Radcliffe, Gambon and Broadbent started shooting in late September 2007, some other stars started much later: Watson did not begin until December 2007, Rickman until January 2008, and Bonham Carter until February 2008.

I think Jim Broadbent is a very interesting choice to play Slughorn. He's not how I imagined him at all... but I'm sure he'll do a good job, I trust the production team.

The Golden Trio, Lupin, Tonks and Bellatrix are all confirmed to star in The Deathly Hallows, hopefully we'll get more information on this as more Half Blood Prince information is released.

This thread has now been updated. I also thought I'd drop in that there will be a few extra scenes in this film which will depict the rise of the Death Eaters much more graphically than in the book.
