Harry Potter

By allucha It's time for another exclusive SnitchSeeker contest! At the end of our SnapeSeeking Event we promised more great prizes were coming soon. This time we have copies of the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince official video game courtesy of EA Games.

By Jess Anyway, the fact that we never find out what exactly happened to Umbridge in the Forbidden Forest is a bit of a disappointment. I wanted a blow-by-blow of each and every Centaur tap dancing on her rib cage. But in the end, we don’t get that and Umbridge is only partially defeated. She leaves Hog...

By Jess I’ve finished Chapter 29: Career Advice, and I’m really no further along in my predictions for the end of the book than I was ten chapters ago. I think it would be interesting if the Azkaban Death Eaters made it into Hogwarts, perhaps assisted by the dementors. Nothing would undermine the Min...

By Jess Even before I started reading the Harry Potter series, Hermione Granger was by far my favorite character. An overachieving goodie two-shoes who’s constantly plotting and scheming some ridiculous plan, her nose firmly burried in a book that weighs more than she does? A girl after my own h...

By Scott Mendelson Second place goes to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. As somewhat expected, the heavily frontloaded Potter picture took a 61% plunge in weekend two. It ended the second weekend with $30 million, with a snazzy new $221 million twelve-day total (it's international total is already a...

By mommaslitthelper I went to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. And it got me thinking about love. The crux of the movie is about young love, only these teens have love potions and spells to cast on one another. But isn't that what young love feels like? Being put under a spell with butterflies fluttering ar...

By Scott Mendelson Tune in next weekend when the Katherine Heigl/Gerard Butler romantic comedy The Ugly Truth squares off against Walt Disney's G-Force (an action film with gerbils... why didn't someone do that sooner?). In other words, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will once again sit atop the box o...

By georgemaier So, here it has came upon us. The next film in the Harry Potter saga. I have to say that the 6th book, the half blood price, is by far my favorite book of the series. But could the film possibly live up to this? Harry Potter Have a burst of magic in your day,

By NatashaVC Harry Potter 6 sold out over 4,500 midnight screenings last night. Box office scientists predict the new Potter movie will break all Mid-Week-6th-Installment-of-Magical-Being-Coming-Of-Age-Movies-That-Open-on-the-287th-Day-of-the-Lunar-Calender ticket sale records. [L...

By Scott Mendelson By any normal standard, this is a wonderfully involving and entertaining tent pole popcorn entertainment. But this is still the weakest Harry Potter film of the series. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince 2009 153 minutes Rated PG

By Suzanne Gardner With the latest film adaptation of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, set to hit theatres at midnight tonight, a review in L’Osservatore Romano, the official Vatican newspaper, has given the movie two thumbs up. This stance is a complete about face from prev...

By noreply@blogger.com (eyeris) Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince Not a Review. Or Harry Potter 6. Or Hari Berputar Dan Putera Setengah Masak. Personally I like to call it Harry Potter: And The Awfully Long Movie Based on An Awfully Thick Book. Oh, and Hermione? Hot as usual. And this time it's ok to say she's hot,

By EmmaRiddle Rhys Ifans: No. I hit the ground running. I’m working with Ben Stiller now. I fly back to LA on Thursday to do Greenberg, a Noel Baumbach film, with Ben, and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Then I fly back here to do Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows, and after that I’ll do Nanny McPhee 2, with Emma Thomp...

By rhmason Several ways come to mind, but I think the simplest is to have the story told in the first person by or about a young person--8 to 18. The Harry Potter series comes to mind. The story isn't told in the first person, of course, but it's all about Harry. Basically, Harry is a young boy caught up in a ser...

By rss@youtube.com (yourcinemacity) http://yourcinemacity.com/ is the first show to review movie trailers. Is 'Harry Potter Half Blood Prince' a Trailer Hit or a Trailer Miss? Plot: Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts turns out to be quite the exciting year. First off is the arrival of a new teacher at Hogwarts, Horace Slugh...

By Travis Prinzi Harry Potter & Imagination also contains a defense of the exploration of the human psyche through Myth.  Part I is rooted in the thesis that great fairy stories accomplish what Tolkien called “the imaginitive satisfaction of ancient desires” (”On Fairy Stories”), and that Harry Po...

By Chris Meadows It is unfortunate that young-adult novels are often referred to as “juvenile” books. Juvenile far too often implies the synonym of “childish,” something that grown-ups wouldn’t want to read. Perhaps with the Harry Potter books that stigma decreased a little—though it is still telling t...

By reddiej CM: They're all great. I love working with Richard [Griffiths] and Daniel [Radcliffe]. Richard is a fabulous storyteller and just a good guy. And, Dan is very sweet, hardworking kid. BH: In the Daniel Radcliffe interview in The New York Times, those qualities came across. He doesn't seem so st...

By reddiej Quote: Heyman set up a modest office above a music shop in London, where a colleague chanced to read a review about a not-yet-published novel, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" (its British title) and asked for a free copy in 1997. It was summarily tossed on the "low priority" shel...

By Steelsheen Quote: ...By now, if you're a Harry Potter fan, you've probably heard the unexpected news about the next movie. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the sixth in the seven-movie series, was due to come out sometime later this year, but for reasons as of yet unknown, was pushed back a stagger...

By Kristin Has she mentioned this elsewhere to anyone else, in an interview perhaps? I do not think so or it would have been noted by Steve Van DerArk on the Harry Potter Lexicon. Which way is Judge Robert Patterson going to decide the Harry Potter case?

By reddiej In a new interview with the Edinburgh "Student" newspaper, J.K. Rowling discusses Christian fundamentalists and their views of the Harry Potter books, elaborates on her reasons for making Dumbledore gay, and the fact that she is well into writing her comprehensive encyclopaedia about...

By r+h4ever1 Q: Is Harry your hero? On the Time Magazine photo of Senator Clinton:] Q: The fantasy in literature completes people. Q: And sometimes, Harry is in the real world. Q: In the real world. No magic wand? Q: Do you have that magic wand? Q: Maybe that’s the magic wand?

By Kristin Also read “Ten questions about Harry” where we find out among other things that the question Rowling was afraid to be asked was “What is Dumbledore’s wand made from?”, the creature at King’s Cross was the last bit of Voldemort’s mutilated soul and that Draco marries Astoria Greengrass, y...

By Monika Bartyzel I don't think that I've ever been half as impressed with a series of films as I've been with Potter's trip to the big screen. It's the sort of franchise that instigates excitement and still pays off in the face of huge expectations. This time around, the kids finally have enough of the stodgy ad...

PghDragonMan's review: "(Originally on Amazon) Let me get the good points out there first. I will also try to do this while giving away as little of the plot as possible. I really enjoyed this latest installment of the Harry Potter series. Rowling's latest work is a worthy successor to the pre...

By katiebell SnitchSeeker.com participated in a December Boys phone interview with Dan Radcliffe today, along with other Harry Potter fansites, where he discussed his new film, as well as My Boy Jack, Harry Potter and new projects under consideration.

By r+h4ever1 Quote: Hitchens's is the less embarrassing of the two; though it's packed with useless verbiage ("For all this apparently staunch secularism, it is ontology that ultimately slackens the tension that ought to have kept these tales vivid and alive"), it does make some nice points about t...

By Kati Irons In each book, Harry’s universe has gradually expanded from Hogwarts to include more and more of the wizard-ing world. In this seventh book, with Hogwarts closed to him, there is now only the wide cold dangerous world. The absence of Hogwarts is palpable, emphasising how much of this series...

By T. Michael Testi When we get to Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, we find that Dumbledore has left each of them -- Harry, Ron, and Hermione -- items in his will, but the items make no sense and all seem pretty worthless on the face of it. We also know that Harry has been left a task by Dumbledore and he is only al...

By Joe Sdicht J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the longest book in the series (a word count of 255,000) and its film adaptation is the shortest (138 minutes). For the first time, a new writer has been called in, Michael Goldenberg, replacing Steve Kloves (who will be coming back fo...

By Bob Milne Having said that, I think Rowling did a masterful job of wrapping up all the key plot points, of providing closure on our favourite characters, and of ending the threat of Voldemort. I was truly afraid she'd opt for the Disneyfied ending, with Harry redeeming Voldemort, and everybody livi...

By Bonnie Yet Deathly Hallows, maybe more than any other Potter book, drove home for me the problems with the series. Clunky flashbacks full of story-critical exposition play a part in almost every pivotal scene in the book. Letters, memories, articles — incidental discovery is a key to the unfurli...

Tess Malone, 17, is currently studying abroad at Cambridge. Here's her letter about the midnight release of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" in England, it's brilliant, as they would say across the pond, and don't worry, no spoilers: "Getting the seventh and final Harry Potter boo...

By Paul Levinson The interactions among the magical species were better than in the any of the previous novels: The banking, sword-making goblins, in particular, were fleshed out, and played a crucial role in this story. So did house elves, and the giants and centaurs put in good appearances, too. Harry, H...

took the day off from Harry Potter duty as dawn approached on Saturday, because it was our son's 5th birthday. After getting to bed at about 3 a.m. on Saturday after working 19 hours, Calvin woke us up at about 7:45 a.m., very excited to get to the waterpark and start the day-long celebration of not...

By Chris Holmes In a word, yes. Over the course of 759 pages (in my edition), Rowling provides answers to all the series' major questions, and delivers a finale that is both wholly satisfying and gripping. As much as the last two entries of the saga (Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince) were heavy on ex...

By Marty Dodge Like everyone else who has the smallest smidgen of enjoyment of Harry Potter I was looking forward to reading the last of the series (allegedly). In fact, I received Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at noon today and promptly sat down and read it cover to cover in one sitting. This 600-pag...

By High Heels Five Dolls in a House series by Helen Clare Famous Five series by Enid Blyton Bobby Brewster, Boy Detective series by H.E. Todd Mallory Towers series by Enid Blyton Peanuts series by Charles Schultz (Yes, it's a comic strip - but it's literature in my opinion!)

By John Neffinger Apparently not - the Times, in its infinite wisdom, decided that waiting two days to respect the wishes of the author and a large segment of her fans (including Times readers) was too much to ask. There was its journalistic practice to consider, after all. What Rowling decided would happen t...

By Michael Giltz Wanna make some easy money? Tell your friends you don't think Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will debut at #1 on The New York Times Bestseller List. Heck, you don't think it will even make the Top Ten! Then give them ten to one odds.

By Scott McLemee But no ,—she meant it literally, and it didn’'t sound like she minded. She'’s been re-reading the entire series. Since the start of July, Newsday has run one item on Potter-mania per day, which is the sort of thing editors do only when firmly convinced that a significant share of the audience...

By Chris Beaumont This brings Harry back together with his permanent companions, Hermione and Ron, and also introduces him to The Order of the Phoenix, a group that is all about putting a stop to Voldemort's advances. All this before they even get back to the school!

By Tall Writer The entire school stirs after Harry’s controversial encounter and the aftermath of the last installment where he faced the ultimate antagonist whose name begins with “V”. This public scrutiny eventually arrives at Hogwarts and its headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, again played by seaso...

By The Theory In the end Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix feels more like an appetizer for the release of the final book next week, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It is exciting and sates our appetite for the time being. However, this is the first Harry Potter movie to really cause some tensio...

By Gerald Wright In this story, 14-year-old Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) are back. They start their fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but the evil Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) and his Death Eaters, Bellatrix L...

He is known around the office as the "Movie Guy" and is always ready to talk about his favorite form of entertainment and offer up recommendations. Interests include science...
