Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Review
17 July 2009 9:28 AM, PDT | From TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news
When we last left teenage boy wizard Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) and his friends Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermoine Grainger (Emma Watson), the wizarding world was becoming increasingly darker. Not only had Harry witnessed the death of his Uncle Sirius, the evil Lord Voldermort's return moved from being mere rumor to actual truth. In Potter's latest adventure, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, things are only getting worse. Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Suspecting that danger may lie within the castle walls, Harry works with Professor Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses. The duo attempt to find their solution first through a collection of stored memories in Dumbledore's office and perhaps in the memory of the well-connected and unsuspecting Professor Horace Slughorn (Jim Broadbent), Dumbledore's old

Who Will Play Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit?
17 July 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | From WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news
Comic-Con is right around the corner and since Peter Jackson will be in attendance to promote his upcoming "District 9" film, some believe that he will take advantage of the event to also announce who will play Bilbo Baggins in his "The Hobbit" films. It has been long-rumored that James McAvoy (Wanted, Last King of Scotland) is being considered, but La Times is now saying that Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) is also in the running. While McAvoy is likely the favorite out of the two actors, there is another name that keeps coming up. Apparently, David Tennant will be attending Comic-Con for the first time to promote "Dr. Who," but the newspaper believes that he will be there at the request of Jackson for "The Hobbit" announcement. There is a chance that none of the actors mentioned will get the role, but out of McAvoy, Radcliffe, and Tennant, who would

Radcliffe Eyes Tragic Movie Role
17 July 2009 5:16 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Daniel Radcliffe is eyeing up his first post-harry Potter movie role - he is set to play a celebrated photojournalist who was killed in Somalia.
The 19 year old wraps shooting on the boy wizard franchise next year and is already looking to his future career.
And he's determined to take a part close to his heart - playing British journalist Dan Eldon, who was battered to death in 1993.
Radcliffe says, "I have a few projects on the boil, but the one that I am really interested in is based on the real-life story of a photojournalist, Dan Eldon, who was only 22 when he was killed by an angry mob in Somalia in 1993.
"He was a really heroic guy and we are just waiting for the green light on that one. It all depends on the funding."

Daniel Radcliffe hated his Harry Potter school uniform
17 July 2009 3:46 AM, PDT | From Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news
It’s one of those beloved rites of passage all youngsters cherish and look forward to – the ditching of the school uniform. It doesn’t matter how much you tart it up – allowing girls to wear trousers, no tie, etc. – school uniforms aren’t designed as cool teenage wear, just ask Daniel Radcliffe. The 19-year-old actor has been wearing one as cinematic alter-ego Harry Potter for years and as the sixth movie, The Half-Blood Prince, hits cinemas today, he’s dishing the dirt on the Hogwarts dress.
“One of the worst things to be wearing while trying to chat up a girl is a school uniform,” reveals the young star who as Harry romanced Cho Chang (Katie Leung) in Order of the Phoenix and might be looking to get friendly with Ginny Weasley (Bonnie Wright), the younger sister of best mate, Ron (Rupert Grint) in The Half-Blood Prince. “You look like a kid!

Radcliffe keen to close door on 'Potter'
17 July 2009 2:46 AM, PDT | From Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news
Daniel Radcliffe has admitted that he hopes J.K. Rowling does not write any more Harry Potter novels. The 19-year-old actor, who has played the boy wizard on screen since 2000, warned that the bestselling author could destroy her reputation by penning further stories about the character. Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Radcliffe explained: "Honestly, after the seventh film, I don't think she should do any more. I think it would have to be something pretty good. "But Jo Rowling's such an intelligent person, she knows. (more)

Review - 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'
17 July 2009 1:01 AM, PDT | From GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Michael Gambon, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint
Directed by David Yates
Rated PG
The final 30 minutes of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince are just about perfect, if you forgive the epilogue. We're not supposed to be holding our breath then, anyway; that's the exhale. But the climactic events of the film - what you're truly paying to see even if you don't know it - are as good as anything we've yet seen in this series.
I won't spoil the details. You either know them already or have avoided them this long. Suffice it to say, there is a battle between good and evil, and generally speaking, we know who's on which team.
Director David Yates, who also made the fifth Potter film, Order of the Phoenix, as a more efficient and commercial venture than we'd seen in the previous few years,

'Harry Potter' Star Daniel Radcliffe Linked to 'The Hobbit'
17 July 2009 12:04 AM, PDT | From Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news
Daniel Radcliffe could be moving on from the "Harry Potter" series to "The Hobbit". Reporting on the actors rumored to be potentially cast as lead character Bilbo Baggins, Los Angeles Times through its Hero Complex blog listed the 19-year-old actor among other possible candidates, which allegedly include "Doctor Who" actor David Tennant and "Atonement" star James McAvoy.
Should the casting rumor is proven true, the filming schedule may not be favorable to the "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" lead actor. Radcliffe is currently committed to finish the boy wizard franchise with "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II" on the line, while "The Hobbit" eyes to start production later in the year for a 2011 release.
Geoff Boucher of Hero Complex also noted that there is a possibility that director Guillermo del Toro will be making an announcement of who

‘Half-Blood Prince’ Crosses the $100 Million Mark in 24 Hours
16 July 2009 11:35 PM, PDT | From FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news
Not only has Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince nailed down the record for most money made for midnight showings (at a modest $22 million), the film can now claim another title - it's the best opening of any Harry Potter film yet. It's also forced over $100 million from the pockets of movie-goers here in the United States and overseas for a ridiculous 24-hour total of approximately $104 million. According to Variety, the film has made more in one day than I will ever make in my lifetime. Or in 20 of my lifetimes. If I'm being generous to myself. I have to believe that this is partly owed to the buzz being generated for the film. It's also the best-reviewed of the franchise so far, and word-of-mouth reactions have actually been great despite more than a few fans disappointed in the tone of the film or in, say, the ending. I also have to believe that we might be

Hobbit Casting Rumours!
16 July 2009 11:10 PM, PDT | From FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news
With Peter Jackson attending next week’s San Diego Comic Con to promote District 9, speculation has begun that we’ll be treated to a casting announcement for The Hobbit. Not just Any casting announcement, but The announcement - Bilbo Baggins.
With Ian Holm sadly not able to take up the role once more, fans have been speculating as to who will be filling the famous rubber feet in the upcoming prequel to The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and as well as one familiar name popping up once more there are also a couple of surprise additions in store!
Of course James McAvoy, star of last year’s Wanted is being touted as a possible Baggins. This is a rumour that’s been rife since May 2008 at least, but along with him come David Tennent (Doctor Who) And Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince).

Radcliffe, McAvoy, and Tennant Rumored for ‘Hobbit’
16 July 2009 10:28 PM, PDT | From newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news
The first of two Hobbit films doesn’t hit until 2011, but already casting rumors are rampant. Fans are eager to know who will adventure through the continued world of Peter Jackson under the new direction of Guillermo del Toro. The La Times’ Hero Complex has been hearing “whispers” of possible actors for the role of Bilbo Baggins. Since the adaptation is a prequel to the epic trilogy already committed to film, Ian Holm won’t be strapping on the rubber feet again. Instead the choices include Harry Potter himself (Daniel Radcliffe), Wanted star James McAvoy, and “Doctor Who” David Tennant. I seriously doubt Radcliffe would tie himself up in another magical franchise this soon after escaping...

The Twilight Harry Potter comparisons and alleged battle reports are at an alltime high and now Jimmy Fallon has decided to put his own spin on it. Earlier we told you about reports that he would be airing a Twilight skit tonight and now we have the end result. The skit which was shown on his show Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tonight shows Fallon dressed up as Robert Pattinson and Daniel Radcliffe in a Youtube battle warning some mature languageSOURCEI found parts of this video funny but overall I wasnt dying with laughter. I do like that he threw some comedy into the ridiculous Harry vs. Twilight reports that keep going around but I wasnt a huge fan sorry Jimmy! What did you think of this skit?

Could Harry Potter Be Bilbo Baggins?
16 July 2009 10:08 PM, PDT | From cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news
This year.s Comic Con is really shaping up to be a big deal. Avatar will be seen, Tron footage will probably show up, and oh yeah Guillermo del Toro may be there to reveal the star of The Hobbit. That.s right, if everything goes as so many seem to expect, there.s a good chance that Bilbo Baggins may be up on stage in Hall H next week. The question is, who will it be? The La Times has a few theories. They.re dropping names like crazy and chief among them are James McAvoy, David Tennant, Jack Black (wha?), and a former boy wizard by the name of Daniel Radcliffe. Of course the La Times offers no reason to believe any of it, they don.t even have a source, just a lot of vague prophesizing. I.m sure fans will go nuts over the idea of

Lazy son Daniel Radcliffe

Daniel Radcliffe's parents still do his washing. The 19-year-old 'Harry Potter' star loves the freedom of living alone, but is relieved to live close enough to his family for them to do his chores. He said: "I'm living in south west London. It's lovely. It's a slightly rude awakening, like, 'Oh my God! I've got to do so much more for myself.' Got to do the washing. But I still live close to my parents and take it round there sometimes." The actor also branded the attention he gets from girls "ridiculous", insisting his fans are interested in his famous wizard character, rather than himself. He told Time Out magazine: "You laugh off a lot of the attention. You

Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and the rest of the cast of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," showed that even after five films, the sixth can still be the charm. The popular film series, based on the books by J.K. Rowling, pulled in $104 million on opening day worldwide, almost evenly split between North America ($58.18 million) and overseas ($45.85 million), according to distributor Warner Bros. Pictures. The take could run as high as $200 million for the first five days from its release in 4,275 North American theaters, despite half-price kiddie tickets.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Movie Review
16 July 2009 8:00 PM, PDT | From MoviesOnline.ca | See recent MoviesOnline news
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, though not the best "Potter" film, is quite lovely. As the younger actors have grown into their roles, they perform with more confidence and ease. Most Improved Actor would go to Emma Watson - her nuanced and genuine performance as a lovelorn Hermoine was very touching. Daniel Radcliffe has also developed a physical ease I haven't seen before, which he likely gained while working on the play Equus, which no doubt was excellent training.I was thrilled to see Tom Felton perform Draco with all of the pathetic agony and anger that I imagine...

Shades of Dark & Darker
16 July 2009 7:21 PM, PDT | From www.culturecatch.com | See recent CultureCatch news
The latest Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, continues the franchise’s progressive departure from fun. All the bright, festive colors that decorated the earlier films have vanished, leaving these young wizards to play out their drama within a spectrum ranging from black to dark blue. Though the film is still enjoyable, it lacks some of the imaginative fancy of its predecessors.
The acting is solid enough all around aside from the nagging suspicion that Daniel Radcliffe is starting to tire of playing Harry.

Exclusive: Ginny Weasley Spills Every Flavor Beans About Harry Potter
16 July 2009 4:58 PM, PDT | From FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news
Audiences have watched Bonnie Wright since she was 9-years old when she first stepped onto the screen for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Fortunately for her, and for her fans, her character of Ginny Weasley has grown to be a major focus of the film series as well as a major love interest for Harry Potter himself. She sat down with Fsr during the press conference in New York City on the day of the New York premiere and talked to us about growing within that character and growing as an actor. That growth has actually inspired her to go to film school - which I'm trying not to hold against her - but is anyone really surprised that an actor who has been steadily working for a decade and who grew up with film has set her sights on learning the craft for herself? As Daniel Radcliffe said during the conference, Bonnie Wright
