Character Cast for HBP Opening Scene

A small, but interesting, bit of Half-Blood Prince casting news today. Actress Teresa Mahoney has been cast as "Sofie (Boardroom -Opening Scene) Film (Feature)." This character doesn't exist in the book, and it is unsure what role she will be playing in the film.

It was assumed that the first chapter of HBP would be cut from the film, based on cuts made in past films, but this casting does hint at the possibility that scene wasn't cut. We'll just have to wait and see.
