Harry Potter Gets Darker (And Delayed)By now the news has been reported far and wide (as any Harry Potter news is wont to do) that the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie will be seeing a July 2009 release date instead of its originally scheduled November 2008 date. After watching this trailer, the delay becomes even more unfortunate as it looks like this will be the film that transports the franchise from the family-fantasy genre to the more adult horror-fantasy realm. There's really some Shining-level creepy kid action going on here. August 27th, 2008 |

Watch this scene from the film, released Wednesday, August 27, in which Coogan does a pitch-perfect impression of every teacher whose ever tried to sell Shakespeare as "cool" to his largely uninterested pupils.
