"Sorry if this is off topic"? Did you imagine that it might not be?

Saw it last night. It was entertaining. When I went to the cinema, the movie titles were Bruno, Ice Age, Harry Potter, Harry Potter, Harry Potter, Harry Potter, Harry Potter, and Orphan.

David Yates (director) did a superb job just magnificent to watch, may be Alfonso CuarÃ³n would have made them ROCK. I am a great fan of Harry Potter series. My favorite still remains HP3: Prisoner of Azkaban. But Half Blood was simply outstanding on levels.
Being a great fan I have collected a list of good sites and articles (may be around 200) related to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (movie information, movie schedule, movie reviews, books, games, news, wallpapers and many more). If you are interested take a look at the below link

Harry Potter ja Puoliverinen Prinssi [Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince]

tags: Finland, Harry Potter films, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, HP6, film, trailer, streaming video, photographs

[0300 Helsinki time, after the film ended] The entrance to the theatre showing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (HP6) in Helsinki, Finland at 6 minutes after midnight. [Harry Potter ja Puoliverinen Prinssi]. There are three theatres at Finnkino showing the film this night.

The doors open and we get ready to enter the theatre!

Yeowza! The movie screen is the largest I've ever seen -- 184.8 square metres (8.8 x 21 m -- or 29 x 69 ft) -- and this particular theatre, the largest, seats 703 people, all in very comfortable red-velvet covered reserved seats. All of the theatres were sold out at Finnkino, and another theatre in Helsinki was also showing the film on four separate screens. Annoyingly, there was roughly 15 minutes of commercials in Finnish, Swedish and English that were shown before the film (finally) started.

After the film started, I captured some pics with the Finnish and Swedish subtitles, but I couldn't get anything that wasn't blurred, and I was worried the ushers would come around and take my camera way if they spotted me in the crowd (at least I wasn't drawing attention to myself by using a flash, as some dorks were -- what is a flash supposed to illuminate when you are sitting 30 meters away from the screen?). I also realized that watching the film through my camera was not as much fun as just sitting back and enjoying the experience.

My short review? The film was amazing; thoughtfully directed and all the actors did a fine job, the camera angles were interesting and the special effects enhanced the story rather than being the showcase of the film itself. Here's another official trailer for those who have not yet seen the film (and for those who, like me, are already planning to see it again in the theatres);

It was 0300 when the film ended, and the sun was already rising, but the buses apparently weren't running since I waited for the N1 bus for half an hour (it was supposed to appear every 15 minutes) and considering that I was cold and had to pee (why don't the theatre staff let their patrons use the bathroom after sitting in their theatres for three hours? Sheesh!), this was not a good situation. The solution? Cab it.

While I am thinking about it, where have you seen all the Harry Potter films, were you with anyone, and did you see the films on opening night?

my list;

HP1: Seattle, 0001, alone, opening night
HP2: NYC, alone, Screen Actors' Guild showing, a week or so before its official premier showing
HP3: NYC, with a friend who works at Time-Warner, Random House Publishers' special showing for their employees, a week or so before its official premier showing
HP4: NYC, 0001, alone, opening night
HP5: Tacoma, with a Seattle birding pal, a week or so after its official premier
HP6: Helsinki, Finland, 0006, with a friend, opening night

My goal? To watch one or both of the HP7(a&b) in London, England on their opening nights.

To be excruciatingly nitpicking (again), Finnkino is a (major) distributor company as well as a chain of movie theatres; I think there are several Finnkino venues in Helsinki, not to mention the other cities.

The "Harry Potter Countdown" series of posts at Hero Complex has some nice pictures and interviews with the current cast and designers. It looks like it's going to be excellent.

If you're like me, you have practically gnawed off all your fingers in anticipation of the often-delayed next installment in the Harry Potter film series; Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which will FINALLY be released on 15 July. Here's the official trailer to keep you satisfied for .. oh, roughly two minutes [2:26]

Doesn't a trailer, by definition, follow something? have you ever wondered why, then, a preview of an upcoming movie is often referred to as a trailer?

I wonder if it has to do with these things originally being shown at the end of movies back when movie theaters used to show serials?

Like you, I'm looking forward to HP6, but this year is going to be a killer year for movie releases. There's also the X-men (Wolverine) movie, the Star Trek movie, and a few others to look forward to.

Awesome, Grrl! I've been waiting for this for ages!

My eyes sting. I was so rapt I didn't blink once for two minutes.

This is the third official trailer from the upcoming Harry Potter film; Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince -- just in time for the big film-going season between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day (too bad the film is not being released now, as originally promised) [1:53].

Was that the Millennium Bridge being destroyed in there (at about 1.37)? We pre-emptively had it on the Harry Potter London tour.

This is going to be the best HP movie yet. Imax, here I come.

Damn, did that just say JULY?

The first trailer I saw just said "2008".

The next said "November"

Now July. What's the deal

Aerik at #3

Warner Brothers, in their infinite wisdom, decided that early summer of 2009 would be a better time because of a few movies that are just getting to the theaters now. Little or no competition this summer. The greedy bastards.

From this book on, they get worse. I think that books 5-7 could have been one book, of the same size as each of them. They were packing in the filler pretty heavily.

Barry, YOU STINK IF YOU THINK THE MOVIES STINK THEY ARE ALL GOOD THE BOOKS MAYBE BETTER BUT THE MOVIE DO NOT GET WORSE THEY ROCK SO JUST BE THANKFUL THERE IS ANY MOVIES!!!!!!!!
YOU NO GOOD IN TASTE AT MOVIES LOSER BECAUSE HP MOVIES ROCK AND THE 6TH MOVIE WILL BE THE BEST!!!!!!!! AND HP MOVIE ARE THE BEST

Oook...Chillax Dude

I don't know. There's just something about being trolled by a Harry Potter fan that appeals to my sense of the perverse.

HP Fan -- WHAT?? i am a trifle deaf in that ear. at least, i am now.

Warner Bros Brain Fart Delays Sixth Harry Potter Film

Warner Bros Brain Fart Delays Sixth Harry Potter Film

tags: Harry Potter news, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, poster teasers

The sixth Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, was supposed to be released 21 November 2008, but Warner Brothers film studios announced yesterday that the film's release has been delayed until 17 July 2009, due to a corporate brain fart.

Despite this disappointing news, the winning movie poster was chosen by my readers anyway (see above).

Poster number one was the overwhelming favorite, as you can see from the final poll results;

Meanwhile in other news, millionaire teenaged actress Emma Watson, who plays Harry Potter's brilliant sidekick, Hermione, earned straight-As in her A-level exams for her three chosen topics; English literature, geography and art. She will take a gap year to pursue acting before attending university.
