Trends come and go, and lately it might seem like the Harry Potter phenomenon has been usurped by the latest craze: The Twilight Saga. And yet, if you look at the numbers, it doesn’t add up: Harry still wins. The Twilight Saga: New Moon opened this past December to a record-breaking $143 million opening in North [...]

The normally-reliable Slashfilm recently published a hunch that Daniel Radcliffe and actress Lily Rabe would be starring in a big-screen adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’s novel The Lucky One. Unfortunately, it didn’t pan out, but there might be some truth in it. The news came from a couple of tweets from producer Christine Vachon, who revealed that [...]

The DVD and Blu-Ray of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince promised a sneak peek at Deathly Hallows, but I figured it’d be maybe fifteen seconds of behind-the-scenes footage. Instead, we get a full-fledged teaser that’s almost a minute and a half long. You can check out the YouTube embed below, but chances are Warner Bros. [...]

They don’t show a heck of a lot, but still, these are indeed official production photos from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The first one seems to take place in 12 Grimmauld Place, while the second could be a lot of things. Right now my guess is it’s right before Harry, Ron, and Hermione [...]

While browsing YouTube I managed to find all the deleted scenes on the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince DVD. You can check them out below. The first half or so are mostly conversations between Harry and Hermione about how and why Draco is disappearing from the castle grounds. After that we get a disturbing story [...]

In a recent interview with VideoBusiness — the same one in which it was revealed that Harry would kiss Hermione in a fantasy sequence of Deathly Hallows, incidentally — Harry Potter producer David Heyman announced that the DVD and Blu-Ray release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince offers more special features than any other [...]
