Talk:Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film)/Archive 1

message: Thewlis has not been confirmed. Casting for HBP hasn't even started, we'll still getting on with OoP. Just because the narration of the article mentions that Thewlis has another two HP films doesn't mean he is confirmed. The author probably meant that Lupin has another two films to go, including OoP, but that doesn't mean Thewlis is signed on. I'm going to move him to Expressed Interest in Returning, but as of now, and probably for at least another year, nobody is confirmed for this movie. If my edit needs to be reverted, I would request a response to this message, because there is no confirmation anywhere. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 15:29, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I have added some notes to the Expected/Possible cast. The notes that say "Is not in the book very much" means this character has a chance to be cut. If you delete it that is fine however the news adds a little more explanation. I am working on citations right now to put with the notes. Most of these are from BBC Newsround.ForestH2 00:56, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I would like you to unlock this page, Evilphoniex. Here's an idea-you don't have to do it. Why don't you unprotect/lock this page and just have that user blocked. By an chance do you think the user who is commiting vandalisim doesn't know how to get to his talk page? When I was in this siuation, I didn't respond at first because I wasn't sure how to get to the page.---Forest H2

Therefore, when a page comes under attack, I'm going to block anons from editing it. I'm sorry if good faith anons are blocked because of it, but I would highly encourage you to sign up for a user account. It's a simple way of contributing to Wikipedia, and once a few days pass you'll be able to edit the page when it's semi-protected. In the meantime, if you have changes you feel need to be made to the article, feel free to post them here and I'll be happy to incorporate them in while the page is protected.

thread_title: Differences between Book and Film Versions

message: Matthew Lewis has said that if he has a chance he will most likely be in it. Source:  He is not sure at the momment however I think we should keep this on the page. ForestH2 00:38, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As I read it, the question was about whether he'd stay with acting, not whether he'd stay with this particular series. Zetawoof(ζ) 01:28, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Hmm, seems as if Foxearth has added in the information originally set to take out by Zetawoof. I have to say, I sort of think it's informative, as long as "Expected" is taken out and some better word is put in. For example, saying that the following characters appear in the book and, should they reprise their roles, would fill these ones, is informative. It is not saying in any way that these actors are confirmed to come back for this film, it is simply saying that the characters should come back if the roles are not recast. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 20:00, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Change "expected" to "possible reprisals"? That neatly sidesteps the issue of speculation.  Zetawoof(ζ) 03:54, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds good to me. I do this information is informative, if not encyclopedic. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 01:55, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Foxearth's recent edits 

message: IMDb is reporting that Terry Gilliam will be direct this film, but we're not going by IMDb as an accurate source anymore since they don't cite anything. Still, it's a rumor which should be reported, as we've decided on this matter. What do we say? --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 00:33, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I would think that David Heyman is producing Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (film) however is there any source saying it yet? ForestH2
I'd guess from his confirming Steve Kloves' return that he is producing it, but no official word yet. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 18:10, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Heyman

message: Does anyone have ANY reason why this is stated in the article (that she could be written out)? To me it just seems ridiculous to think that. I think she should be moved to preliminary. - RedHot 22:34, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hermione written out? 

message: Since tommorow is mother's day I'll be out doing stuff, however when I come back on Monday or late Sunday night I am going to do some very big edits with this page as the page right now doesn't look very good. I plan indeed to change the Expressed Interest in Returning category to another name and do a thing with the Possible Repisals. It's different from what I did last time where I added notes, because this page should really say some status for the Possible Repisals cast. Some of the trimming by Zetawoof was needed, some was not and for the most part most was not. ForestH2
Later on today I plan to remove or most of Zetawoof's trimming by catgorizing some of actors and actresses on status. I've changed the section header names as I thought they were awful before. ForestH2
The categories I hope to put actresses and actors on are "Characters needing a recast", "Characters who play a small role in the book" Zetawoof seemed to believe that there should be no notes at all. It was very annoying. ForestH2
:Forest, beware of WP:NPA. Zetawoof had all the right to think the page crowded and speculative. I would caution you to use the word "characters needing a recast" because it suggests POV on the part of you – who said they needed a recast? Certainly not David Heyman or any casting director. You say that they need a recast. That's not encyclopedic. A note saying their previous appearance was cameo is acceptable, as well as saying saying that they have a small role in the book, but juding for the producers isn't what we need. I hope you take this into mind when you edit this page. Just a friendly word of advice. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 00:23, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I just changed the color of the e in my name since I joined Wikipedia:Esperanza. I don't see why "Possible Reprisals" has to go. It's pithy and not wordy. I think the opening paragraph that indicates this is for cast who have not made public announcements, but have appeared in the role at least once is good enough; it is not necessary in the section header. I really don't think anything could get much better than "Possible Reprisals," but if you have something better than that, let's hear. "Cast who have not given Public Announcments" [sic] isn't great. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 00:43, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
