Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

It appears that Twilight fans are just as hungry as ever for more of their favorite vampires and werewolves.

Despite being almost universally panned by critics, New Moon's midnight showings yesterday shattered box office records, bringing in $26.3 million. The previous record-holder was this summer's Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which took in $22.2 million from its midnight viewing.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince has worked its magic at the box office this past weekend to the tune of millions of dollars.

The sixth installment of the wiz kid franchise grossed $107 million over its first three days after premiering this past Wednesday. That puts it ahead of its predecessors, but behind this summer's biggest opening so far, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which made $127.8 million in its first three days. 

Harry Potter stars will wear white ribbons to the London premiere of their new film to remember their co-star who was stabbed to death last year.

Rob Knox was 18 years old when he was killed outside a bar in May last year. He had a small role in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince appearing in three scenes as Marcus Belby.

As a tribute to Rob, the stars of the film will be wearing the ribbons.

Harry Potter star Rupert Grint has been stricken with a mild case of swine flu.

The actor, who plays Harry's best friend Ron Weasley in the hit movie franchise, has had to take some time out of filming to recover.

"It has just been confirmed that Rupert Grint has taken a few days out of filming due to a mild bout of swine flu," Grint's representative said.

Clever, feisty Hermione is all grown up, and she has blossomed into quite the stunner.

The Harry Potter franchise’s Emma Watson, now 19 years old, is featured in an upcoming Fall/Winter 2009 ad campaign for Burberry.

Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint were spotted filming scenes for the new Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, in London yesterday.

The Deathly Hallows is expected to be released in two parts, one in 2010, the second in 2011. Reportedly the second one will use Benjamin Button-type technology to age the actors so they can act out the story in the book, which takes place 19 years after the main adventure.

Remember when they were just wee tykes?
