New this week on DVD and Blu-ray, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince debuts just in time to make onto your holiday shopping lists; Johnny Depp stars as bank robber John Dillinger in Public Enemies; plus a look at Julie & Julia, The Cove, and the fifth season of Lost.
Okay, this is officially my last Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince coverage, at least for the forseeable future, but I had to pass this along.
Going above and beyond the normal call of duty for film promo material, here’s Josh Powell’s video for “Big Beat Repeat”, which appears on the film’s soundtrack.
Tom Felton was 12-years-old when he first won the role of Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. At the time, Warner Bros. had picked up the rights to the first four books from author J.K. Rowling, but it is hard to imagine that anyone realized then just how big the franchise would become.
British actor Tom Felton was in Toronto earlier this week to promote his latest film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and meet with fans who came out to support him.
Felton is best known for portraying the dark young wizard Draco Malfoy in the hugely popular Harry Potter films, which are of course based on J.K. Rowling’s famed novels.
Earlier today I had the chance to sit down with Tom Felton, better known as Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter franchise.
Felton was in Toronto to chat with press and meet with fans ahead of next week’s debut of the latest film in the series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
This week on store shelves: Harry Potter and his school chums try to take on the evil Lord Voldemort, Jason Bourne is coming to America, High School Musical 2 arrives, and you can find the Lost castaways on DVD.

On the one hand, it’s not altogether surprising news and it does add a certain something to the character. But on a deeper level, especially the side of me [...]
In just 10 years author J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series has become one of the most memorable stories in recent memory. With her ability to blend adolescent tales with epic battles and the heroic journey of our hero and his friends, she’s created something special that places Harry Potter among the likes of The Chronicles of Narnia or The Lord of the Rings, (even if she’s perhaps not quite as skilled as either of their respective authors).
Joanne Kathleen Rowling, better known as just J.K. Rowling, might be the best modern example I can think of for what you’d call a real life fairy tale. Born on July 31, 1965, the British novelist was unemployed and living on welfare with her daughter when she finished the first Harry Potter book in 1995, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. That book, and the six that would follow, plus the movies, and all the toys and marketing, would end up turning Rowling into billionaire within a few years.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix debuts in theatres on July 13, and The GATE has a few early images to give fans a preview of what they can expect.
