Harry Potter Updates


The time to start viewing the first five Potter films have arrived because the long and I mean LONG awaited sixth installment of the franchise is less than ten days away. Last November fans(including myself) were largely upset by Warner Brothers decision to push Half Blood Prince(HBP) to this summer. This was due to the fact that The Dark Knight made so much money so WB pushed it back so they could spread out the wealth. But now the wait is over and there are several news bits about the new film and the last two. Several reviews have been posted on various websites and all of them have been positive. While I do not have the names of the site...you can Google it.

-First of all, the three main actors will be appearing on select talk shows several nights this week. The schedule is as followed:
WEDNESDAY
Late Night with David Letterman-Emma Watson
THURSDAY
Live with Regis and Kelly-Rupert Grint
Late Night with David Letterman-Daniel Radcliffe
FRIDAY
Live with Regis and Kelly-Daneil Radcliff

-Next on the list is that HBO aired there about twelve minute behind the scenes look at HBP. You can find the two parts at the bottom of the screen above the trailer for the film. WARNING...the clips involve some spoilers and it shows tidbits of new footage. The spoilers aren't that bad but if you are wanted to see as little of the film as possible before opening night...don't click it.

-There is a small casting update for the last two Potter films. Actor Bill Nighy(most would know him for the last two Pirates of the Caribbean films where he stared as Davy Jones) will appear in the last two films but he is not allowed to say what character yet. Most people think he will play the new Minister of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour. It's about time Nighy was cast in a Potter film; he's a very talented actor(even with tentacles hanging from his face.)

-So there's your Harry Potter update. I will personally be going to the midnight showing at my local theater and I will probably see it again in IMAX when it's released on the BIG screen July 29th. The best film of the year is coming our way on July 15th at 12:01 a.m.!!
