A popular supporting character in the Harry Potter series has reportedly been cut from the forthcoming screen adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Cinematical discovered a report at the Potter fansite Snitch Seeker that says the character of Moaning Myrtle will not appear -- or should that be materialize? -- in Half-Blood Prince.
Snitch Seeker contacted reps for Myrtle actress Shirley Henderson at the Hamilton Hodell agency who confirmed the news. "I'm sorry to report that Moaning Myrtle has not made it into the latest film," the agency informed the site.
As Ace Showbiz points out, the character of Myrtle in Half-Blood Prince "serves to be Draco Malfoy's confidante. At one point, she even soothes the sobbing Malfoy who takes refuge at the second floor girl's bathroom. When Harry performed the Sectumsempra spell on Malfoy after finding him hiding at the bathroom, Myrtle becomes the one who spreads the evil deed throughout the school."
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince opens Nov. 21.
