Harry Potter Reviews, Interviews & More
The Wicked Witch of The West is the witch who started it all. She defined the term and got the ball rolling. But a lot has changed since 1939. Witches nowadays come in all shapes and sizes. They're not confined to a certain genre, and are not exclusively evil. They don't always wear pointy hats and travel in broomsticks. But we can all agree that they're still pretty terrifying. Even Harry...
Novel adaptations are generally a bit of an open-ended game – some come along in a hurry (50 Shades of Grey), while others can take decades to be translated onto the big screen (Ender’s Game). In the case of Dan Krokos’ The Planet Thieves, the movie rights were sold before the book was even published – the young adult sci-fi novel won’t hit...
Because this week started with a holiday, it’s likely that’s the reason why this is a pretty weak week for new releases. But for those who like their catalog titles, there’s a couple winners in the mix. Mostly it’s television. Check it out…
Creating a such a successful seven book and eight film-long franchise as Harry Potter makes you a global phenomenon. The pressure must have been intense for author J.K. Rowling, not only in finishing what she had started and meeting the demands of critics and fans, but then the pressure of figuring out what's next. As for the latter, she's written her follow-up to the...
I liked The Hunger Games. A lot. I have no problem with that. But I think that it's also a film that should be graded on a curve, the franchise/blockbuster curve to which Hollywood seems most comfortable turning everything into (they're trying to make a Horrible Bosses 2). As such, it's worth noting that these films - including...
With year-end worst of lists, it’s rarely fun to pick on films that are dead and buried. Is it really worth rehashing why I Am Number Four or Apollo 18 are bad movies? In five years no one's going to remember those films, to say nothing of Shark Night or One Day. in fact it's likely...
This week featured news about crying kids, ridiculous feuds, and yes, more Lindsay Lohan. In the list of news bits we've compiled for you, you'll find details on Lohan's much anticipated Playboy issue, due out January/February. Also, more details on the feud between Daniel Craig and the Kardashians, which unfortunately is still going strong. And for all of you Harry...
In case you just so happen to be one of the three of four Harry Potter fans on Earth that, for some reason, hasn’t built a shrine of Potter DVDs and Blu-Ray around your TV, well, you might want to hop on that—looks like Warner Bros. will stop producing any more copies of the Potter films on home video on December 29, 2011. As in, they will never be available again.
Well, the headline says it all—teen culture, as it has pretty much always been (except for maybe when teens went gaga for the Beatles back in the day), is pretty much screwed. Basically a live action version of TigerBeat!, the 2011 Teen Choice Awards took place in L.A. last night at the Gibson Amphitheatre, in what was essentially a morbid orgy of...
After last weekend’s strong debut, Captain America: The First Avenger will attempt to hold on to the top spot as it faces stiff competition from The Smurfs, The Steven Spielberg-Produced Cowboys & Aliens, and the Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, and Emma Stone movie Crazy, Stupid, Love....
Captain America has topped Harry's huge success and taken the No. 1 spot at the box office. We did not see that one coming. Captain America: The First Avenger was expected to have a successful weekend, but not to the point where it would knock Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 off its spot. The Superhero...
There's something very appealing about being the very last of something. Everyone wants a piece, and that's what happened this weekend with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. At least three records were broken during the last few days including The Dark Knight's highest-grossing opening weekend of $158.4 million by over $10 million....
11 years ago, three kids got extremely lucky when they landed starring roles in what would become one of the most successful film franchises of all time. While Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is busy singing and dancing in his latest Broadway venture How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, his co-stars and friends Emma Watson and...
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, the long awaited finale is finally here, and though fans will be able to cheer along to the film, my biggest problem is that they won't really be able to cry. It's hard not to like this film on some levels because even though it would never stand alone and won't be the film we all remember from the series, it's the finale!...
In a few hours the lines will start to form. There will be rows and rows of people dressed in Hogwarts' attire with tiny little light bolts drawn on their foreheads, all waiting for the end to begin. Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows Part II hits theaters at midnight, but there's a lot more things happening than just the release of the movie. There's everything from...
Despite the highs and lows that the Harry Potter series has taken, despite the different imaginings of different directors, despite all the hype being built up for this one final film and all the critics arguing over which film is the best and why this new film will be this or that; when I hear John Williams subtle yet strong theme seep onto the screen, no matter what anyone...
There's really not much coming out on DVD this week, no TV, no big time special editions just a couple very small films and one mega-behemoth about a boy wizard about whom you may have heard.
Yes, Harry Potter is back on DVD for the seventh time with part one of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. But is this necessarily a good thing?

Sometimes, with the deluge of entertainment news that hits us daily, a few crumbs fall through the cracks. And like a mighty vacuum of information justice, our news roundup is here to scoop up any little nuggets we may have missed.
Want to see the final scene filmed for principal photography for the entire Harry Potter saga? The last time that the three principal actors worked together in the roles they began over a decade ago? Check it out below.
Being the face of Harry Potter for the last ten years has turned Daniel Radcliffe into an international icon and a household name. The twenty-one-year old actor grew up in front of the cameras, and with the franchise almost over he's made it clear that he wants to pursue a career in acting, so he'll likely stay in the spotlight. He's also used that celebrity for good, as he's...
