At the U.S. premiere of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Sunday, producer David Heyman confirmed to HPANA the casting of two 11-year-old red-haired children for the next film, Half-Blood Prince, which is set to begin filming in September.
The actors -- Taylor Triphook (a boy) and Katie Head -- will play minor twin characters who are not culled from JK Rowling's sixth novel. Heyman did not elaborate further. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is expected in theatres November 2008.
HPANA's complete coverage from the red carpet of the Order of the Phoenix premiere will be posted soon.

Um-- why? Why exactly would you cast two people for roles not in JK Rowling's books? The movies should base their material off of the books, and not on the whims of the people involved in making the movies. Just my opinion. I can't see what their roles would be.

Very interesting. It will be fun to see what pans out from this information. It certainly sounds like they might be part of the Weasley family, perhaps the Weasley parents? Hhhmm...

Wow, two new cast members of the Harry Potter movies! I think it's good! I just hope it is not misleading as to what the book is all about though they were not in the book, the two new characters. but i can feel that it will add up to produce a wonderful movie!
peace out.

I am confussled :S
I mean did they just make this up themselves or did JK tell them to?? I mean they might appear in DH??
But I don't really understand why this is necessary if they're minor, but hopefully they're good actors :D

I don't know if I like that. Why is there a need to add extra characters JK Rowling didn't create, when there are so many she did create and aren't in the movies. Why don't they just pick some of her other characters?

Maybe this is a little bit of foreshadowing of something to come in the last book. Remember the stuff with the graveyard?

This was very Interesting. I am going to have to go back through the book to see who the 11 years could be. I can only think maybe a young Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.

I seriously hope that this is a mistake. Why on earth would you feel the need to creat new characters when the book is already FULL of fantastic characters?? Does not sit well with me. I have to believe that this is somehow wrong.

Hmm...interesting. They've put people that aren't in the book before, so I'm not surprised. Probably won't be more than a few lines for them.

That's a little confusing. I just saw the "casted two red heads" and assumed Bill and Charlie. *does wild dance* Bill! EEK! And Dan and Bonnie! Yay!

I wonder what that could be about... I was thinking it might be a flashback of the twins, but seeing as one of them's a girl... Oh! It could be one of the children that went to Voldemort's orphanage! Eleven seems about the right age. Cool! That's probably it!

Hehe, cool. I wonder if David was supposed to tell the worl about that. Oh well, we would have all found out anyway - we stick our noses in everything! That's what you have got to love about us Harry Potter fans - we don't give up. Hmm, little red-haired twins... could they be little cousins of the Weasleys?
