HBP full cast list released by Warner Bros.

Warner Bros has released a press release which lists all of the actors that will have a part in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. In addition to Daniel, Rupert, and Emma, many of the old cast members will be returning, including Helena Bonham Carter, David Bradley, Robbie Coltrane, Warwick Davis, Tom Felton, Michael Gambon, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Natalia Tena, Julie Walters and David Thewlis, as well as Evanna Lynch, Matthew Lewis and Bonnie Wright.

As for new-comers, we have already been told that Jim Broadbent will play Horace Slughorn and Jessie Cave will be Lavender Brown. New noted roles, however, have been those of the two young actors to play Tom Riddle, one as a child and the other as a teen. Nine year-old Hero Fiennes Tiffin, nephew of Ralph Fiennes (who plays Voldemort in the series), will play Tom Riddle as a child; and 16 year old Frank Dillane will play Tom Riddle as a teenager. We hope to have photos of the two actors soon enough.
