Trivia:

Christian Coulson, who played the 16-year-old Tom Marvolo Riddle in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), was long rumored to be reprising his role for this film, but, at the age of 30, it was decided that he was too old for the part.

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, one of the Gryffindor Quidditch players' name is Demelza Robins, however, in the movie, the back of her Quidditch robes says Robbins with 2 b's instead of one.

Quotes:

Harry Potter: Professor, you knew Voldemort. You were his teacher. What was he like?
Horace Slughorn: Dumbledore put you up to this, didn't he?
