By the time we are all catching our breaths in the afterglow of this summer’s blockbuster rampage (and potential rollercoaster if some of those anticipated flicks fail) the media buzz will be once again bringing us into the Christmas season with all things Harry Potter.
Warner Bros. Pictures has provided ComingSoon.net with new photos from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, coming to theaters and IMAX on November 21, 2008. Directed by David Yates from a script by Steven Kloves, the sixth installment stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson
I have to say that this series is in part a little magical to me. No pun intended.
When I see the three of those actors sitting together in that mystical ancient castle I get totally sucked in. Yeah, its for kids. You need about a grade 5 reading level to get through the books, but I am absorbed in the series. Its a shame its over, but I understand why. (And you Potter zealots can leave the “she will write another one!” chants alone. I will believe it if I see it)
So now all I have to look forward to is the movies so I can relive the stories on the big screen instead. The pictures don’t say much, but so far its looking good. Most of the Half Blood Prince story revolves around revealing the whole story of Voldemort. I kind of wish she hadn’t written this story. Not because I didn’t want to know, but it would have given a wide open door for a prequel. The story of Lilly and James Potter? That would have been cool. But this story wipes out the need for that, and the last book eliminates any need of a followup story.
Half Blood Prince was my favourite book until I got into the real meaty climactic action of the Deathly Hallows, so its all ramping up excitement for me.
