Strange comment today at the Washington Post, referring to the Half-Blood Prince movie:
The book has an important battle involving Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Severus Snape and Albus Dumbledore, but it won’t be in the movie. It’s too much like the climactic battle in the previous Potter film, the producer has said.
That doesn’t really make any sense.  The [...]

Emma Thompson is saying she won’t return as Trelawney for Deathly Hallows, being more invested in her own Nanny McPhee films.
I think this is quite unfortunate.  Emma Thomson is a great actress (I was just going on about her earlier today to some co-workers, actually), and she made a good Trelawney.
So who gets cast as [...]

So, now that the movie has been delayed, what does this mean for the videogame?  Apparently nothing.  Some footage was shown at the Lepzig Games Convention (YouTube link here) in Germany over the last couple of days, and the release date is still slated for this November.  The link is worth a look just to [...]

Eric D. Snider debunks the following 4 Myths about the Half-Blood Prince movie delay:

Half-Blood Prince was moved because WB was scared of Twilight. (That one’s just silly.)
It got moved because WB was nervous about Daniel Radcliffe’s extra-curricular activities. (Referring to his appeared naked in Equus)
WB moved Half-Blood Prince to the one-year anniversary of The [...]

I suggested, upon hearing the news of the delay of the Half-Blood Prince movie, that the only silver lining to the news would be for Azkatraz 2009 attendees.  The LA Times got a note from a member of Team Azkatraz, Heidi Tandy, saying that very thing.  There is no way they’ll be able to accommodate everyone [...]

This is going to disappoint a lot of folks (myself included).  Warner Bros has apparently decided to change the release of the film version of Half-Blood Prince to Summer 2009 (instead of Thanksgiving of this year).

A little disappointing, but perhaps a longer trailer will come in August with The Mummy 3: Rise of the Dragon Emperor or another movie (I’ve heard Star Wars: Clone Wars). My question is: does anyone understand what Dumbledore is saying here?

Much to the chagrin of many here, Del Toro was not in the running to direct Deathly Hallows, because he’s in talks to direct The Hobbit.
Is this true?  And if so, is it a double blow?  (No Delo Toro for DH, no Jackson for Hobbit?)
