Movie Trivia
• Jessie Cave beat over 7000 girls to win the role of Lavender Brown, Ron's "love-interest" from the book.
• Quidditch at Hogwarts makes a grand (and much publicized) return, after being completely absent since the fourth installment. A full game of Quidditch has in fact not been featured since the 2nd film.
• Robert Knox, who plays Marcus Belby, was tragically stabbed to death on May 24, 2008, just days after filming wrapped.
• Alarn Horn, President and Chief Operating Officer of Warner Bros. stated that due to "repercussions of the writers' strike" they were offered "new windows of opportunity that we (Warner Bros.) wanted to take advantage of." The film’s release date was then moved from November 21, 2008 to July of 2009.
• The original script included all of Dumbledore's memories about Voldemort as outlined in the source novel, but the director insisted on trimming them down as, according to Steve Kloves, "..he wanted to showcase Voldemort's rise without getting overly involved with his past as Riddle."
• The first Harry Potter film to be rated PG by the MPAA since Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
• Shipped to some theaters under the moniker "Candlelit".
• Over 7000 girls auditioned for the role of Lavender Brown, and read from a scene with Madam Pomfrey, Hermione and Ron. Ironically, Emma Watson recommended Jessie Cave for the role, although Cave hadn't attended any auditions.
• When Draco Malfoy goes to the room of Requirement for the final time, you can clearly see the harp that put Fluffy to sleep and the King from the game of chess that were in the first movie.
• The second film to NOT open with a "Harry-centric" event. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire opened with a scene from a chapter of the fourth book, "The Riddle House". Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince opens with an event which is mentioned in the first chapter of the sixth book, "The Other Minister", where the Death Eaters collapse the Millennium Bridge in London. (Although the first images in this film are of Harry and Dumbledore at the Ministry of Magic after the battle with Voldemort in the fifth film, the first legitimate and complete scene is the Death Eater attack.)
• The length of the 35mm film is 4194 meters.
• This is the first Harry Potter film that does not feature any aspect of Defense Against the Dark Arts classes on screen, either direct (second through fifth films) or indirect (first film). The only mention of the subject occurs when Dumbledore announces Snape's appointment to the open teaching position.
• While visiting Slughorn to get him to teach again, Dumbledore asks him if he can have a knitting magazine. On the cover is J.K. Rowling, the author of the beloved series.
• Much like the first book, some difference exist between the British and American editions of the text. One such difference is in the scene where Dumbledore takes Harry to meet Slughorn. In the American edition of the book, Dumbledore excuses himself to use the bathroom. In the film, he uses the more British term, "loo." This is in contrast to the first film, in which such references were shot twice to accommodate American and British audiences.
• The omission in this movie of the battle at Hogwarts between members of the Order of the Phoenix and Death Eaters was due to the fact that they writers did not want to seek repetition when they film the Battle of Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I.
• The sixth of eight movies based on the Harry Potter book series by J.K. Rowling.
