InsidetheMagic.com has posted a series of video walkthroughs of the brand-new Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park in Florida. Ever want to walk into Hogwarts? Here you go:
And here we seem to have stumbled into the middle of the Tri-Wizard Tournament:
Not bad! Check out more of the videos here.
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 [...]
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.

Not sure how I feel about this, but apparently Warner Bros. is giving the go-ahead on turning Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, both parts, into 3D.

We’ve seen videos and concept art in preparation of Universal Orlando’s The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park, but here’s the first photo of what Hogwarts Castle will look like. Very, very cool!
The 2010 Grammy Awards are being held tonight, and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’s Nicholas Hooper was nominated for Best Score Soundtrack Album.
Unfortunately, he lost the award to Michael Giacchino’s sad and sweet score for Up.
Also nominated was Alexandre Desplat for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and by coincidence, Desplat was just hired [...]
According to Film Score Monthly (via Filmonic), composer Alexandre Desplat has been hired on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1.
Desplat most recently composed the score for The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and was nominated for Oscars for his work on the films The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and The Queen. He takes [...]
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. [...]
