A ton of unfinished footage from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — both parts — was screened at the recent ShoWest festival/convention. It hasn’t seemed to leak anywhere online (not yet, anyway), but CinemaBlend was on hand to tell you what was shown: The first scene of the extended trailer was Harry and Voldemort’s [...]

(Deathly Hallows Part II spoiler alert!) Filming the scene late in Deathly Hallows in which Harry walks through the Forbidden Forest to meet Voldemort was “really hard,” according to star Daniel Radcliffe, speaking to MTV. The scene — one of the emotional peaks of the novel — comes right after Harry learns he may have to die [...]

Last month we ran a story that featured a quote from director David Yates telling VideoBusiness.com that there’ll be a scene in Deathly Hallows in which Ron will see a Horcrux-induced “nightmarish vision” of Harry making out with Hermione while “bare.” Additionally, La Vibra later ran a story in which Yates apparently told them, “there is [...]

That grab your attention? Good, because it’s actually true. From an interview between producer David Heyman and Video Business: Yates and others also offered some surprising sneak peeks to the final two theatrical installments of the Harry Potter franchise, slated for 2010 and 2011 release. At certain points, Radcliffe will appear naked. In one scene, “a horcrux [...]

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince scored a record-breaking $396.7 worldwide over the Wednesday to Sunday span, making it the biggest five-day start of any movie ever. $159.7 million of that came from the U.S., which isn’t quite as record-breaking but is still 13% bigger than what Order of the Phoenix did two years ago. The [...]

The opening of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is finally here for us normal folk, but a few lucky souls out there have already gotten to attend the movie at its London and New York City premieres. With those premieres, of course, come a whole lot of video footage and interviews with the cast [...]

The reviews have started pouring out for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and you’ll be happy to know they’re almost all positive. As I write this, it’s sitting at a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, with only one rotten review — and that one gave it 3 out of 5 stars, hardly a pan. The general [...]

iTunes recently debuted a full two-minute clip of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and it’s no fluff: we start with Dumbledore and Harry talking at Hogwarts, they apparate to the cave, and Dumbledore stabs himself in the hand. Really. It’s cool. It’s all over YouTube, but the embedding has been suspiciously disabled on every video, [...]

Ever since triumphantly announcing that they plan to milk Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for not one but two movies, Warner Bros. has been tight-lipped on one thing: where they’re going to split the story up. In other words, where Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I will end, and where Harry Potter [...]

Warner Bros. released four extra behind-the-scenes photos this week, plus a random close up of Hermione. What’s that, you say? After six trailers, fourteen posters, and a couple of video featurettes, you’re not impressed with behind-the-scenes photos? Me neither. Just don’t tell Warner Bros. It’s exactly a month until Half-Blood Prince comes out, and they’re obviously [...]
