Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) and Co. may have audiences under their spell in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, but the real wizards are the ones who created the movie’s special effects. Industrial Light & Magic, the biggest F/X studio in the business, gave the News a sneak peek behind the wizards’ curtain to see how they made some of the greatest magic in film history.

David Yates (director) did a superb job just magnificent to watch, may be Alfonso Cuarón would have made them ROCK. I am a great fan of Harry Potter series. My favorite still remains HP3: Prisoner of Azkaban. But Half Blood was simply outstanding on levels. I’ll be seeing it again Saturday on IMAX which will be even better as it’s one of the original IMAX screens that loom up and over the audience as opposed to newer screens that are just big.
Being a great fan I have collected a list of good sites and articles (may be around 200) related to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (movie information, movie schedule, movie reviews, books, games, news, wallpapers and many more). If you are interested take a look at the below link

Oh goodness! I can’t wait. Very excited to see new stuff about the movie. Even though we should already have seen the movie itself by now! But.. I bet it will be worth the wait!
i saw the film yesterday and i could have sworn that the very first ghoul to creep out of voldemorts lake there looked A LOT like smeagol from lord of the rings.
obviously, harry potter is not a brilliant place to hide an R2-unit or something starwarsy, but something lord-of-the-ringy might have been well in the realm of possible. can someone second that?
boo-hoo.harry p. stinks…but on the other hand star wars rocks!
I think they’re both amazing, its only natural that people would find similarities between the two.
