Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin are the four houses founded on separate virtues yet are bound together with a strong history that make up the best school of witchcraft and wizardry ever, Hogwarts. Unlike the books, the movies never really touched too much into what each house represented, this little video after the jump gives you the general idea in a fun and lighthearted way! Which house do you belong to? Find out after the jump!
Just like the Michael Jordan versus Lebron James argument, Jordan always winning due to his extraordinary success and talent, Harry Potter will always be better than Twilight in the same respect. CinemaBlend has created an awesome retrospective look back at the success that the film franchise has had over the last 10 years. Go beyond the jump to check out the full infographic in its entirety.
Got the itch for a better look at what you will see this Friday? Well you’re in luck! Thanks to the marketing people who control the Harry Potter movie franchise on Facebook, we get a few sneak peaks at some stills from the movie and production! I grabbed a lot and you can check them all out after the jump!
There’s always been those factoids about the ridiculous amount of money the Harry Potter movie franchise has made (over $6 billion) or how many books have been sold, but did you know that there have been over 600 school uniforms created for all of the movies? Or did you know that approximately 2,182 liters of shampoo and conditioner were used across all of the films, enough to fill 28 bathtubs! Can you imagine how many heads that could have washed in 3rd world countries?! One of the crazier ones is that they had to put on Harry’s scar about 5,800 times, that includes not only Daniel Radcliffe, but also his stunt doubles as well. Be sure to check out all these and more crazy facts about the Harry Potter movie franchises that entail to more unknown facts about make-up, costumes, animals, and more after the jump!
If you ever wanted to let your geek flag fly high and proud than Saturday is your day! On Satruday, the San Diego Comic-Con will house a full array of anything you could ever ask for in a convention. From discussions on the future of comics to the inspirational words of Joss Whedon, this day is your day. You can learn how to draw in one room and learn about the future of Avatar: The Legend of Korra in another. Panels will discus videogames, anime, manga, steampunk, and so much more. I’m still really really pissed I wasn’t able to get a badge for this thing.
The ever so infamous Hall H will be graced by the presence of FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA as he presents his panel on his new film TWIXT! How ridiculous is that?! Unfortunately the bigger guns like The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, and Superman: Man of Steel are not making a big presence, if any, at the con, but you will be getting previews of Snow White and the Huntsmen, Dorothy of Oz, Knights of Badassdom, and Immortals. Even Kevin Smith will be in Hall H.
So check out the entire line-up for Saturday after the jump and be sure to check out the schedules for Thursday and Friday too!
Thankfully there will be no Rebecca Black this Friday (she’s still cool to make fun of these days right?) Anyways… this Friday schedule is a bit more exciting than Thursday will be. I think one of the biggest panels this day will be for Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-man. It’s been almost 5 years since we’ve last seen the infamous web-slinger and with Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone at the panel it should be a good show. A lot of other smaller films will be in the line-up too, including 30 Minutes or Less, Underworld 4, Fright Night, and Ghost Rider 2. For the entire Friday schedule at the San Diego Comic-Con be sure to view it after the jump!
Right now the housing market is still down in the dumps, but why not own a piece of cinematic history by buying a real-life authentic re-creation of Carl and Ellie’s house from Disney Pixar’s ‘Up’? For only $399,000, this 2,800 square foot replica can be yours! That may sound like a lot, but hey, if you have the money and love the movie ‘Up’ then go for it! The house was built by a custom home company in Utah, Bangerter Homes, and can be seen at 13215 S. 5390 West in Harriman, Utah. After the jump check out more pictures of the lovely home that plays almost as big of a part as any character from the emotionally driven rollercoaster of a movie!
I find it always fascinating when someone takes a piece of film, literature, television or a videogame and turn them into art. Ms. Lucy Knisely was artistically brilliant enough to take on the entire Harry Potter literature. She transformed every book into a giant comic strip for a poster that you can view on her LiveJournal. If you think she has made a masterpiece than by all means donate to her art. She has done something great here. You can also view all of the books separately in comic strip form after the jump!
So you say you just can’t wait one more week until you get your Harry Potter fix? You honestly would rather see a few clips in order to pump yourself up for what is surely to become one of the greatest endings to a cinematic saga of all time? Well you’re in luck because I’m here to spoil the pants off of you.
I hate spoilers, I won’t do it anymore. After what Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen did with their marketing campaign two years ago, I will not even watch a TV spot to a movie anymore. They seriously showed all of the action scenes from that movie and for as terrible as it was, if you showcase all of your money shots before anyone sees the movie, than what’s left?
But fear not my friends as I will openly give you the chance to ruin Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 for yourself if you deem it necessary. Cinema Blend has eight clips that will quench your thirst for Harry Potter. I have not watched them myself as I stated just a mere paragraph ago that I LOATHE spoilers, but I am giving this to you because I am not mean or greedy. If you like the spoiler thing, than be my guest. Go straight to CinemaBlend.com right now to check out what is in store in the final chapter of the Harry Potter epic.
Today, Comic-Con revealed their Wednesday night and all day Thursday line-up. Check out the full schedule on their official site! Thursday will be a big Twilight day as their panel will overrun Hall H with many many Twihards. The 20th Century Fox panel will also be on Thursday. The coolest thing that stands out on the preview night on Wednesday is that of J.J. Abram’s new show Alcatraz. Thursday also is bringing back the Comic-Con Film School. So as stated before, check out the Wednesday Preview Night and Thursday schedule on their official site.
