This important witch is killed in ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’, but very few realized who she was and what happened to her – Movie news
Yes, Harry Potter is like Angela Fletcher: everyone who gets close to him ends up falling
Terry Gilliam was going to be chosen to do Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stonethe one indicated directly by the hand of the author, JK Rowling. However, when they rejected him for a more commercial alternative (Chris Columbus), the director put an end to the saga. In fact, they even offered him the address of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince but instead he stated “Warner Bros. had their chance the first time, and they screwed up.”. Clearer, impossible. Mike Newell, Guillermo del Toro and even Alfonso Cuarón (again) were on the verge of taking the chair for this sixth part, but they ended up deciding on David Yates, who already directed the fifth installment. If something works, why change it?
Harry Potter and the Dead Witch Witch
This film could have been very different than it was, because Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson considered the idea of leaving the saga, terrified of being pigeonholed. Luckily, As we later learned from seeing all of their careers, they have known how to overcome the magical world.. And they have to answer questions about harry potter practically daily!
But surely one of those questions will not be “Who is the dead witch on the front page of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince?”. And you have to pay close attention to realize that, in a headline on the cover of The Prophet that we only see for a few seconds, you can read that Amelia Bones has been murdered in her home. And who is Amelia Bones? Exactly: the witch who defended Harry in part five. In retrospect, it might have been a better idea to stay silent.
Even now, 16 years after its release, this sixth part remains one of the most expensive films in history with a 250 million dollar budget. Right now it is in 26th place but at that time it was in 3rd, only after Pirates of the Caribbean: at the end of the world and Spider-man 3. Luckily, he raised more than enough to justify this absolutely insane expense.
