Eric attends HBP screening
Eric attends HBP screening Earlier this evening in Chicago, MuggleNet staffer Eric attended a surprise test screening for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and will be writing a review to be posted within the next 24 hours. Eric has said his report will be relatively spoiler free and also include information on his post-screening meet up with a few special attendees.

We'll also have coverage on an upcoming episode of MuggleCast within the next week or two!

Read the review on Leaky!!! It was AWESOME!! Cannot wait until July!! Why WB? Why?


Posted by House_of_Black Sep 6th 2008

Chicago, again! the OOTP secret screening was there as well, I think. I WANT SPOILERS, Eric!!! Puhleeeze, tell ALL!!


Posted by quantumsquirrel7 Sep 6th 2008

Yeah. She posted an article and then there's a link in one of the news posts to a thread where she answers specific questions. (I'm assuming it's a she from the user name)


Posted by alexxx Sep 6th 2008

hey guys leaky has a detailed and satisfying review


Posted by S_XoXo Sep 6th 2008

I read the interview on Leaky but I'd like to hear someone else's take on it.


Posted by hpninjaskills Sep 6th 2008

The movie sounds, I suppose, pretty good from that review at Leaky. This makes me want to see the movie so bad it's like "stomachache." XD


Posted by House_of_Black Sep 6th 2008

Leaky did a great job, but didn't cover Dumbledore's death... ERIC please comment on the death scene.


Posted by SiriusFan Sep 6th 2008

I say since we have to wait so long.. give us some spoilers.. but put it in the scroll over so that those who dont want to read them wont have to :) I want spoilers!!


Posted by festy1986 Sep 6th 2008

ok, we get a news post about one of your members seeing a test screening? first ok, if he did, they would of put an embargo on reviews, so it will be down shortly, if they did not, then he was invited to this screening and didn't fall into it. im sickened by WB at this point. now i know why you guys didnt give a shhh that it was delayed, going to see it early regardless.


Posted by potterfreak0515 Sep 6th 2008

How do you get into a screening??


Posted by Hermowninny Sep 6th 2008

Why the heck are the screenings being held so darn early?


Posted by SiriusFan Sep 6th 2008

ahhhh what leaky website is the review?! I cant find it!! if its leakymug you guys killed the site!! LOL


Posted by Paroxysm Sep 6th 2008

I just read the review, it sounds good, but I wish their was more Remus and Tonks:(


Posted by pottercullen3 Sep 7th 2008

no fair! so jealous!


Posted by AnnaSmee Sep 7th 2008

WTH. WWWWTTTHHH. I LIVE IN CHICAGO, IS THIS STILL GOING ON? Okay, Im sorry but... GHAGFHKSAUEAH,FN.


Posted by ajrome Sep 7th 2008

why wasn't i invited?


Posted by kluke2 Sep 7th 2008

guys, i knw u mite be worried what eric might say abt the movie. Lemme tell u wht he is gonna say, coz I was there to see it! He will definitely say it was: AWESOMMMEEEEE!!!! Seriously, I hated the fifth movie. Hated it with PASSION. I really thought David Heyman made a big mistake by having David Y. direct the last 3 movies. But I was proven wrong today. And I couldn't believe they both were there in the theatre. I just loved this movie. This is the best movie that has come out of the HP franchise. There is no doubt in that. Hope u all like it as well. It truly captured the essence of the book. I t was funny, emotional, dramatic, and touching. And to all those LUNA fans who were dissapointed in her movie character in the fifth movie. Don't fret! SHE WAS AWESOME IN THIS MOVIE. I loved the lines they wrote for her in this one..... And there is one thing they do with her in this movie that is truly a tribute to her (they kinda borrow something from another HP book).... I really don't want to say it coz it is kinda like a mini, mini, mini spoiler.... But I hope u all like it....


Posted by GothicPrince Sep 7th 2008

Has anyone found it curious that it just so happens a staffer from probably the biggest HP Fansite just so happened to be in the right place at the right time to get an invite that maybe a hundred people go to go into and see? Just crossed my mind and was wondering what anyone else thought, if maybe certain people who could relate to the broader fandom and have a means to do so, or maybe it was pure luck he walked by, just an idea, later.


Posted by haripotar94 Sep 7th 2008

kluke2 I cant wait.Im so jealous of you.


Posted by crispyo Sep 7th 2008

Posted by marcelapalomo Sep 7th 2008

Well, I saw the report in Leaky, and BLOODY HELL, I HATE WB!!! They totally cuted off the H/G Kiss!!!! And they won't date! Rony won't see they kiss, nobody will!! She will give him just a little kiss, without touch him... and then she'll leave the room... fudge you WARNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by mreissh Sep 7th 2008

they really need to make a mugglecast episode with Eric's review. Now my question is, what if Eric hated it? Would he actually write that in his review?


Posted by mreissh Sep 7th 2008

"We'll also have coverage on an upcoming episode of MuggleCast within the next week or two! " This made my day :)


Posted by WB_R_LUNATICS Sep 7th 2008

WHY didnt they have the dursley's?????? that was probably my favorite part of hbp!!!!! and since when do wizards use toothpaste??????????????? ????????????????????????? ????????????? but at least it sounded better than the rip off of OotP!!


Posted by Martigan Sep 7th 2008

WB better have an army of security protecting the copies of the movie and the scripts. 9 extra months is a long time, and folks can get creative and take things as a challenge. In my opinion, the movie will be online and so will the script before next summer.


Posted by WB_R_LUNATICS Sep 7th 2008

there have already been parts of the script online Martigan


Posted by SofieMalfoy Sep 7th 2008

KEEP BUGGING WB.


Posted by emilyecstasyTM Sep 7th 2008

AJSDFH;AADF;AJDFAF AHHHH!!! Lucky!! =[ lol but why so early? What's the point? If WB wants to release it NEXT SUMMER then why do these things EARLY and then have nothing to do by the time July 17 comes around. What the hell!? Nonetheless, if Eric doesn't reveal any spoilers at all, or even writes another to have spoilers, it'll definitely be a good read, even enough to satisfy me, and maybe others, a bit. WB is really screwing up at the moment =[ silly gooses, they didn't have any faith in HP being released this year because of Dark Knight being released in the SUMMER and not AUTUMN, and looked over the fact that the only reason Dark Knight was such a success was because of Heath Ledger. WB you suck. Eric you're a lucky billywig. :]


Posted by bmthwillownyourlife Sep 7th 2008

i'm almost afraid to read the interview.


Posted by merrymarge Sep 7th 2008

i just went to the leaky cauldron.org and the page was not to be found. i still am hoping that WB is changing their minds about releasing HBP. It could come out at Thanksgiving or Christmas. Why else would they have a screening now?


Posted by WB_R_LUNATICS Sep 7th 2008

WB will not release the movie in 2008 but i think they might release it around March 2009


Posted by hermyluvr Sep 7th 2008

ohmygod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! he is sooooooo lucky!!! i cant believe this!


Posted by rooon Sep 7th 2008

Would you kill your pet dog or cat to eat it? How about an animal you're not emotionally attached to? Is the thought of slaughtering a cow or chicken or pig with your own hands too much to handle? Instead, would hiring a hit-man to do the job give you enough distance from the emotional discomfort? What animal did you put a contract out on for your supper last night? Did you at least make sure that none went to waste and to take a moment to be grateful for its sacrifice? ~Anonymous


Posted by marisa4231 Sep 7th 2008

this is extiting ...im still dissapointed about the delay. and this post has clearly reminded me about how much i miss mugglecast *sigh*


Posted by THEJOKERxD Sep 7th 2008

OMG THAT IS SERIOUSLY UNFAIR! oh well i cant wait to here the details!
