Harry Potter

question of the day: After ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Twilight,’ will we see more movies broken up into multiple installments?

Could Hollywood only get away with such a split when there is an existing and enthusiastic fanbase? Are these splits anything other than moneygrabbing on the studios’ part, a means to get twice the ticket sales out of fans?

Dan addressed this to me, but I’m opening it up to everyone because this is a tough one. There simply aren’t that many movies that fulfill Dan’s requirement…

question of the day: Is there any good reason for Warner Bros. to pull the Harry Potter DVDs from stores?

Is this fair to fans? Does this benefit fans? Or is it just a way to force any fencesitters to spend who might not otherwise bother to buy the DVDs right now?

British Harry Potter publisher Bloomsbury ran a poll of fans to find out who their favorite character from the books is. Surprise! It’s not Harry himself. He came in fourth.

I love this because it demonstrates the universality that unites well-written fictional tales. In which Hogwarts houses would other Doctors and other companions end up?
