Mar 26 2009 Where's the Poster Magic, Harry Potter?

harry-potter-6-char-posters.jpg

Harry Potter, you are getting boring. Remember how exciting your posters used to be? Look at the Sorcerer's Stone one. Those were the glory days. You got this nice painting with an owl, a castle, a little gremlin transcriber, a wizard, beard guy, some kids on flying broomsticks, and you were decent enough to PUT ON A TIE. When you said, "Let the magic begin," I said, "What time? I'll make sure to pick-up some wine."

Now you're just standing around a filthy subway station, brooding in your Arizona jeans. Step it up, HP. When you're the king, everyone's coming at your crown.

More new character posters, including redhead kid, girl, and white-hair kid, here.

So if Daniel Radcliffe is looking at you, and old man wizard is reflected in his glasses, does that mean that's you??? Dare to think about it.

Jan 23 2009 'Harry Potter and that Half-Blood Prince' Trailer in the Japanese

harry-potter-half-blood-jap.jpg

Don't be a chump! Why wait for the new domestic trailer for Harry Potter when you can watch this Japanese version right now? Maybe because it has Japanese narration, glowing Japanese subtitles, and that annoying little picture-in-picture thing so ubiquitous in Japanese television. But if you're OK with all that, here it is:

Nov 14 2008 'Harry Potter 14' Trailer

harry-potter-half-blood-tra.jpg

Remember when Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was meant to come out in November? Those were the days, before the release change. You were supposed to be knee-deep in boy wizard next weekend! Now you're going to have to see Twilight eight times instead. Nothing is fair.

sad-wizard.jpgAnyway, sorry to open old wounds that are in the shape of a lightning bolt (H.P. reference, dudes), but there's a new trailer for the film to tide you over until the summer. You deserve it, dejected wizards.

Oct 27 2008 New 'Harry Potter' Trailer is the Chosen One?

harry-potter-half-blood-int.jpg

For most of my life, I've been operating under the assumption that I'm the chosen one. When someone calls and asks for the chosen one, I say, "Speaking." When the Red Robin offers a free sundaes to birthday boys and chosen ones, I say, "Free ice cream, please--the latter stipulation." But if this Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince international trailer is to be believed, Harry Potter is the chosen one. Whaaaaa?

As we all know, there can be only one, so what gives? I thought I was the chosen one. If it turns out I'm not the chosen one, I am so pissed. But besides including the news that I might not be the chosen one, this looks OK:

Jul 30 2008 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' Trailer

harry-potter-tom-riddle.jpg

Well, here's the trailer to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, complete with child version of Voldemort. I'm normally pretty unimpressed by the whole typically-creepy, Damien-esque kid thing, but here it sort of works. Knowing this kid will grow up to be a powerful wizard with the head of Bat Boy, you kind of want him to be pretty weird--otherwise, any of our children could be next!

Jul 8 2008 Instinctual Analysis of New 'Harry Potter' Photos

potter-half-blood-prince-1.jpg

Over at the MTV Movies Blog, they have some new shots from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince complete with thoughtful, thorough analysis of each photo and how it may fit into the story. I, on the other hand, know very little about the Potter-verse (I assume people call it this), and had to keep referring to their post just to remember the name of the latest chapter (Half-Blood Prince? Whatever you say, Rowling). So my post for the same images is considerably less informed, but it has a lot of heart and can-do spirit.

Now it's your choice: an analytical dissection based on knowledge and insight, or go with my gut. (My gut is never wrong.)

Dec 14 2007 First Look at 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'

harry-potter-half-blood.jpg

Those folks down at the Harry Potter Movie Making Factory know exactly how to get me juiced up about the new one: with a slightly different hairstyle, ringer tee, unadorned jacket, a couple books, and teenage angst, all on a wax figure of K.D. Lang.

Aug 21 2007 My Boy Jack Proves Harry Potter is Freak

Take one part Gollum, one part The Penguin, one part Eddie Munster, add giant eyebrows to make Daniel Radcliffe as Rudyard Kipling's missing son in My Boy Jack. The movie will air in the UK in November, but the images will haunt you for a lifetime.

Aug 6 2007 Daniel Radcliffe in My Boy Jack

daniel-radcliffe-my-son-jack.jpg

Some new pictures have turned up from the set of My Boy Jack, in which Daniel Radcliffe plays the missing son of Rudyard Kipling. I've already seen a few people go on about how he looks like a little S.S. officer or mustache-less Hitler, but I think there's one thing he much more closely resembles here, and that thing is an asshole.

Jul 13 2007 December Boys Trailer

The box office numbers and I finally agree--Daniel Radcliffe makes a great orphan wizard! The makers of December Boys got my fax about this startling discovery, but seem to have favored the less interesting aspect of the orphan/wizard role when making their film. In this melodramatic coming-of-age tale, Radcliffe plays one of four orphan boys (none of whom play Quidditch or fight evil wizards) taken on a holiday by the sea, where they face the sudden realization one may be adopted. Having seen the trailer, I'll tell you it never answers why some f***ing orphans are getting better vacations than me.

Jun 22 2007 Christmas Comes Early for Dorks

It hurts so good!

Alright nerds, I've got a present for you: 75 new Harry Potter pictures. As for myself, I haven't seen a Harry Potter movie since I saw the first one on mushrooms and crapped myself during the 'talking hat' scene. However, I do have a newfound respect for Daniel Radcliffe. He turned in one of the funniest guest appearances I've ever scene in Ricky Gervais' HBO show, Extras. Check it out, after the jump.
