A Return to the Hallowed Halls of Hogwarts

There are only a few holdouts in author J.K. Rowling’s quest to bring everyone into her magical world of witchcraft and wizardry. So there’s doubtless only few who haven’t seen the movies either—or aren’t eagerly anticipating the next moment they can sit in a theater seat and watch the wands wave, the brooms fly and sexual tensions mount as the once baby-faced actors enter their next to final year at Hogwarts.

The sixth film in the franchise, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, doesn’t hit theaters until November. But with newly released photos from the film, the recently-announced plans for a Universal Studios theme park dedicated to the franchise and the latest Rowling book, The Tales of Beedle the Bard, ready for order nationwide, MM thought it would be a good exercise to recap the past while we preview what’s to come.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Harry, Ron and Hermione return to Hogwarts after the battle with Voldemort (a barely recognizable Ralph Fiennes) that killed Harry’s godfather Sirius Black (played in the three previous films by Gary Oldman). A dark shadow is cast over their sixth year at Hogwarts as attacks on students increase and the trio must balance their studies and career preparations with the escalating violence in both the Magical and Muggle worlds.
