Here’s a sneak peek at “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” (Part 1). It features a 56-second clip, including behind the scenes footage and an intro by director David Yates and producer David Heyman.
The final installment of the franchise will come to theaters in two parts, with the first scheduled for a release date of Nov. 19. 2010.
It’s really sad to think of this series coming to an end, but the good thing is we’ll always have all of the movies on DVD and Blu-ray and whatever other formats they come up with in the future. This clip …read more

Here’s a fun event! People who buy the Blu-ray copy of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” (read my review here) can actually watch the film with Harry himself, Daniel Radcliffe, and director David Yates.
Well, sort of. Probably as close as we’ll ever get to the real thing anyway. It’s the first worldwide live community screening of the movie, and here’s how it works:
- Buy the Blu-ray disc of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” available on Dec. 8, 2009. Buy it on Amazon.com!
- Be one of the first 100,000 BD-Live community members (accessible through a BD-Live enabled …read more

If you haven’t seen "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" yet, go see it! I loved it, and highly recommend it for kids aged eight to eighty. Read my review here.
Here are a few pics from the North American premiere of the movie, held in New York on July 9, 2009. The young stars all look beautiful, don’t they? And Emma Watson is gorgeous! She says she wants to take a little break and focus on college in the States.

MPAA Rating: PG for scary images, some violence, language and mild sensuality
Gecko Rating:

One thing I love about Harry Potter movies is that they appeal to all age groups. We saw "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" last night, and the people in the theater spanned at least eight decades, kids from 8 to 80. Aside from that, it’s just a really great production with beautiful cinematography, stunning locations, and thoughtful performances. And oh yeah, a fantastic storyline that …read more

Daniel Radcliffe: Being Harry Potter isn’t good for my love life:
 

On the MTV Movie Awards awards last night, a new clip from "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" was shown. Professor Dumbledore is showing Harry a memory that reveals something about the early beginnings of Lord Voldemort. Check out the clip on MTV.com.

Early buzz for this 6th installment of the Harry Potter franchise – which hits theaters July 15, 2009 – hasn’t been that great, but I’m still looking forward to it. I mean, it’s Harry Potter!
Interesting that it’s rated PG (for scary images, some violence, language and mild sensuality), whereas the last two — "Goblet of Fire" and …read more

Ok, so here’s a question I’ve been mulling over. I’m a big fan of the “Harry Potter” series, but let’s face facts. It’s coming to an end soon. We’ll have to move on. And I don’t know about you, but I need a new series to follow and “Twilight” just might be it.
But “Harry Potter” is SUCH a good series with great characters, an interesting story, and awesome effects. We’ve got both “New Moon” and “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” coming up this year. It’ll be interesting to see how they compare at the box office. Will “Twilight” …read more

The second international trailer for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is online, and it’s getting me even more hyped for the movie.

The Scoop: With Voldemort tightening his evil grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds, their beloved Hogwarts is no longer a safe place for Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and his friends. He suspects that dangers may lie inside the castle, and Dumbledore ramps up his efforts to prepare Harry for the final battle with Voldemort.

Here’s the most recent trailer to emerge for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," arriving in theaters July 17, 2009. I was surprised to learn that the film is rated PG for scary images, some violence, language and mild sensuality. As dark as the trailers seem and with "Goblet of Fire" getting a PG-13 rating, it seemed natural that this movie would stay the course with a PG-13 rating.
In some ways, it’s good. It means more kids will be able to see it. On the other hand, it might mean the film isn’t as intense as they’re making it …read more
