USA Today has posted a new article talking about "Harry Potter" weekend on ABC Family (full schedule here) that includes a photo of Frank Dillane as the teenage Tom Riddle and more details about the sixth installment, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince:


"It's different than the other films," producer David Heyman told the newspaper. "It's not the non-stop action that some of the others are, although there is some action. It's more of an emotional film. We follow multiple stories: Harry's relationship with Ginny Weasley, Ron's relationship with Lavender Brown... There also is Hermione's discomfort with Ron's relationship with Lavender. There's Draco Malfoy's story. And then there's Harry's relationship with (Hogwarts headmaster and professor) Dumbledore. We're following these multiple stories that enrich the canvas."

And Ron discovers his newfound Quidditch talents, after thinking he had taken a good-luck potion.

"Ron is scared witless for the game," says Heyman. " So, Harry pretends to slip him some felix felices, a liquid luck potion.All of a sudden he's imbued with fresh confidence, and he's remarkable in the Quidditch match. He's performing miracles. With that comes incredible delight and maybe a little bit of cockiness."
