Harry Potter fans may be heartbroken that
they’ll have to wait until next summer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood
Prince. But at least the boy wizard didn’t leave egg on their face. The same
can’t be said for Entertainment Weekly, who put the film on the cover of their
current Fall Movie Issue. Though they joked on their web site about Warner
Brothers’ push-back of the hotly anticipated film’s release date, in reality
the editors must have considered the way the Nov. 21 release date unexpectedly
disappeared some serious black magic on the part of the studio, since EW is part
of the same WB media group. Meanwhile, Potter fever seems to have gotten only
more intense, with a new blizzard of media coverage blowing in. Our pick for
most ridiculous of them all: a Fox News blogger has invented the rumor that
actor Daniel Radcliffe’s unwholesome onstage nudity in Equus, which moves to
Broadway this fall, is the real reason behind Potter’s pushback.—Movietimes.com
