‘Harry Potter’ kids face adult issues in 6th film

LOS ANGELES - It appears the young wizards attending Hogwarts will continue to work out their teen angst issues on screen.

During the sixth trip to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in “Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince,” the cast will find themselves dealing a slew of adult issue, including, love triangles, jealous ex-girlfriends and steamy make-out sessions, according to a report by MTV News.

Director David Yates says the sixth installment is the “sex, drugs, and rock and roll” of the “Potter” franchise.

“It’s the ‘American Graffiti’ for this set,” Yates told MTV. “I’m looking forward to developing the relationship between Ron and Hermione, and Ron and Lavender. There’s a nice triangle there.”

Though the wizards and witches will experience social growing pains, the next installment just might be the Potter film that has the audience laughing.

“If we pull [it] off [right], it should be the funniest of the films so far,” Daniel Radcliffe told MTV.

Something that might be making the actors laugh with a little nervous energy could be the on-screen lip-locking between these young wizards and witches.

Actress Bonnie Wright, who plays Harry’s love interest, Ginny Weasley, told MTV, “It’ll be funny to do [the make-out scenes], but it’s just a film! Hopefully people will just enjoy it and not get too jealous.”

Radcliffe is also feeling the awkwardness of “Half-Blood Prince’s” make-out scenes.

“I knew Bonnie when she was 10, so that’s going to be very odd! It’s going to be fine, but it’s going to be funny,” Radcliffe told MTV with a laugh.
