Harry Potter Movies

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince isn’t even out yet, and the a number of the cast for the next and last installment of the adventures of the Boy Who Lived. Which will be split in two parts, by the way, and will leave Harry Potter fans in painful anticipation.

One of the conformed changes to the cast will be for the role of Aberforth Dumbledore, who was played by Jim McManus, who will be replaced by Ciaran Hinds. Emma Thompson will not be returning as Professor Trelawney, but there are no confirmed replacements for her yet.

In other cast news, Welsh actor Rhys Ifans (who you might remember from his role as Spike in the romantic comedy ‘Notting Hill’) will be joining the Harry Potter movie franchise, and is rumored to be playing Xenophilius Lovegood.

The latest installment to the film franchise has our growing magicians facing their worst enemies yet, where the world will forever be shaken by the Dark Lord and the thin line which separates reality and the world of magic is blurred so much there is no escaping his power. Dumbledore enlists the help of Harry to again help him, on a dangerous quest to better prepare him to face the Dark Lord in the Ultimate battle that would determine the fate of the world, muggle and magical. Harry uses a memory potion that was collected by Dumbledore on a young Tom Riddle as his past is revealed and the professor admits he never suspected him to becoming the greatest dark lord of all time.
Harry comes upon a book of spells, both strong and dangerous which he tries to master in preparation for the battle with the Dark Lord, made by an unknown Half-Blood Prince who is revealed to be Professor Snape, who was on the side of the Dark one in the past but turned to the side of good to fight for Dumbledore. With the powers of the Dark One growing each and every day, he fails to resist his call to do his bidding and falls once again to the dark use of magic. With the thin line between magical and real world being diffused, we see Voldemort’s powers exceeding the boundaries causing destruction on both sides of the line. The upcoming ending kinda’ overshadows the whole thrill of the magical/fantasy world, but promises to deliver and make them the best ever.

Scheduled for release last year, it was re-scheduled for July of 2009 which may have something to do with the division of the last installment to the series “Deathly Hallows” into two parts to prolong the mystery of the story. Many years in the making, the movies have long been overtaken by the books J.K. Rowling had released. In Half-Blood Prince, it is revealed that a death is to happen as the movie ends. Not our main characters and even their supporting cast who continue to battle with adolescence as they grow into their adult lives made ever more dangerous by knowledge that Voldemort may just be around the corner
The aim of the movie was to show the increasing grip the ‘Dark Lord’ is gaining on both worlds and this is made apparent by attacks carried out by the dark forces. Looking into the past of the dark one, our heroes try to find his Achilles Heel which may be very useful to Harry when he has to face him for the final battle which may decide who is to rule the muggle and magic worlds. Harry’s long protector Professor Aldus Dumbledore is killed as the movie reaches its climax and Professor Snape, the long ally is revealed to be the Half-Blood Prince, called upon again by the Dark Lord to carry out his deeds.

J.K. Rowling testified before a full packed courtroom in a lawsuit to block the publication of a Harry Potter lexicon as she tells the judge that the book amounts to a “wholesale theft” of almost 20 years of her writing career. She claimed copyright infringement last year upon suing Michigan-based RDR Books to stop publication of Steven Vander Ark’s “Harry Potter Lexicon.” Steven Vander Ark is the one behind the popular lexicon website and RDR wanted to publish a printed version of the website and charge 24.95 dollars. Rowling said that the printed version is just a copy or rearrangement of her own material that it almost amounted to plagiarism. But RDR defended that the lexicon would serve as a reference guide to organize and discuss the complicated world of Harry Potter.
