Watch Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince with Daniel Radcliffe!

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 Blu-ray Disc played on an Internet-connected Blu-ray player) to RSVP and secure a spot for the screening. 

- Log in on Dec. 12, 2009 at 12 PM PST (3 PM EST) and simultaneously watch the movie together with Daniel Radcliffe and director David Yates, and hear an interactive Q&A where fans can ask questions about the film to Daniel and David, directly from their home.

In addition, more features for Blu-ray owners:

• An exclusive introduction to the upcoming Harry Potter Ultimate Editions by Daniel Radcliffe
• My Commentary – Fans are able to post user-generated Picture-in-Picture commentary over the film and share it with their friends and other BD-Live community members
• Live Community Screenings – Allows users to send invitations and have a virtual screening with friends and family while chatting together through the BD-Live platform
• Facebook Connect – Allows users to interact with their Facebook friends, update their Facebook status while in BD-Live and invite their Facebook friends to Live Community screenings.
