No. Besides the fact that the vast majority of the actors in those movies are British (I can think of only 2 exceptions: Fleur and Victor), there are no characters major or otherwise in Half-Blood Prince that are Filipino. Besides that, they are still filming Order of the Pheonix and are not yet holding auditions for any additional actors the cast may need.

What are some examples of cinematography and sounds in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince?

The Half Blood Prince is beautifully shot with one scene (I think) clearly demonstrating the superior cinematography methods used. When Harry and Draco are in the boys room fighting with their wands and Harry manages to catch Draco with the Septum Sempra curse, Draco is seen lying on the water flooded bathroom floor and Harry walks up to see what he has done. The moment Snape walks in and stands still over the bleeding body of Draco in the slowly swirling fog is so dramatic and beautiful! It is one of the most captivating shots in any film.

Is R.A.B evil in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince?

R.A.B. is Regulus Arcturus Black the younger brother of Sirius.

He was a death eater and loaned his house elf, Kreacher, to Voldemort who needed to complete a task. Voldemort was hiding his Horcrux in the cave and needed something worthless to drink the potion for him. The only reason Kreacher survived is because Regulus specifically told Kreacher to return home - and a house elf never disobeys a direct order.


Regulus asked Kreacher what happened and through this information, discovered the Horcrux. Kreacher took Regulus to the cave, although this time Regulus drank the potion. The potion made him weak and he died in the cave after giving the locket to Kreacher and telling him to destroy it.


Regulus is never seen in the books so much of his character is unknown. Indeed, his brother didn't have a high opinion of him, but he was also very biased. Regulus grew up surrounded by a family who hated muggles, it wouldn't have been surprising that he joined the death eaters. But he clearly had a consciousness and died doing something good.


It's important to note that Voldemort took Kreacher along so he wouldn't have to drink the potion, whereas Regulus didn't force his elf to drink it, resulting in his own death. An evil person would have made the house elf drink it.

What were the ignitials on the fake horcrux in Harry Potter?

The initials in the fake locket say R.A.B. We find out in 'The Deathly Hallows' that R.A.B. turned out to be Sirius Black's brother Regulus, who no longer wanted to be a Death Eater.
