'Twilight' Joins Twitter And Shows 20 Official Accounts

Posted 10/12/09 6:48 pm EST by in The Twitter Nation, Twilight Forever!


Unofficial “Twilight” Twitter accounts are now out of fashion, as the Saga now has its own official home on Twitter at @Twilight, and its follow list is the most official listing for movie-verified cast accounts that you’re likely to find. The series’ hunks Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner may still be absent from the micro-blogging site – as is Kristen Stewart – but the 20 accounts it does follow span the Cullen family, “New Moon,” “Eclipse” and Stephenie Meyer’s universe.

Here’s a rundown of who they are and where you can find them:

•Rachelle Lefevre (“Victoria”) -- @RachelleLefevre
•Alex Meraz (“Paul”) -- @TheAlexMeraz

Universal’s Wizarding World of 'Harry Potter': Pontential Ride Names Revealed

Posted 7/30/09 3:35 pm EST by in Movie News, Random Yet Notable


Quidditch helmets will likely be out in force when Universal opens up the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter region of its theme park in Orlando. “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey,” “Flight of the Hippogriff” and “Dragon Challenge” are all contenders for ride titles, according to recent trademark filings. Like “E.T.,” “King Kong” and “Back to the Future” before it, the Potter franchise will be getting at least one thrill-ride treatment. This time, however, Universal will be looking at assimilating a whole neighborhood of its park to bring a little bit of Hogwart’s to tourists from around the world and anyone who wants a taste of living like Harry, Ron and Hermione.

The names probably aren’t set in stone yet, according to the Orlando Sentinel, but the attractions set to open by 2010 also include concepts for shops and restaurants to fill out the area. Read More...

'Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince': A Look At Harry Through The Years

Posted 7/10/09 11:04 am EST by in Movie News, Videos


Harry PotterFROM MTV.COM: Harry Potter's entire life leading up to "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" has been plagued by dark magic and loss. His sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry marks a turning point as he begins to fall in love with Ginny Weasley. Numerous obstacles, including his own destiny, stand in the way: Lord Voldemort ignites the Second Wizarding War, and Harry's status as the "Chosen One" becomes more evident.

The title character in J.K. Rowling's epic series famously earned his reputation at just over a year old, when Voldemort murdered his parents but failed to finish Harry off with a Killing Curse. Though Harry's heroic mother and father were kept secret from him until he received his invitation to attend Hogwarts at age 11, his peers' high expectations and the deadly threats from Voldemort have remained consistent reminders that a great responsibility rests on his shoulders.

'Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince': A Look At Hermione Through The Years

Posted 7/9/09 9:45 am EST by in Movie News, Videos


HermioneFROM MTV.COM: The Muggle-born daughter of dentists, Hermione Granger made it known early on at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that she was a witch to be reckoned with. Even as she has continued to overcome prejudice and earn the respect of her instructors, including Hogwarts Headmistress Minerva McGonagall and the school's newly installed Potions Master Horace Slughorn, one subject has continued to confound her — the affection of Ron Weasley.

Since neither of her parents had magic abilities, Hermione learned at the relatively late age of 11 that she was a witch and subsequently received an invitation to attend Hogwarts. While she learned to develop her spell-casting and potion-mixing skills, however, she also encountered prejudice from students like Draco Malfoy, who believed that she was unworthy of attending the school as a non-pureblood witch. That status eventually endangered her life when she was petrified by the basilisk in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets." All the while, her two best friends, Harry and Ron, remained constant sources of support, but she and Ron began to develop an odd romantic tension that neither of them could acknowledge.

'Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince': A Tale Of Ron Weasley's Love Triangle

Posted 7/8/09 11:25 am EST by in Movie News


Rupert GrintFROM MTV.COM:Harry Potter's two closest friends since the first installment in the series, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," also share one of the saga's most strained relationships. Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger may embody predestined puppy love more than any of their Hogwarts classmates, but the bombshell kiss that Ron shares with Lavender Brown in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" threatens to drive a permanent wedge between them, even as the darkest threat the series has ever seen descends on their school.

Born into one of Hogwarts' largest families, with five older brothers having enrolled there, Ronald Bilius Weasley's father was committed to the fight against Lord Voldemort as a member of the Order of the Phoenix. Both Hermione and Harry initially encountered Ron during their first-year trip on the Hogwarts Express, and though he would grow closer to both of them over the course of the series, as his immature impulses that early on sparked catty spats with Hermione also came to characterize their relationship.

'Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince': A Look At Draco Malfoy Through The Years

Posted 7/6/09 10:04 am EST by in Movie News


Michael WelchFROM MTV.COM: Five years after Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy first set foot in Diagon Alley to buy their school supplies, the gray-eyed villain of his class has come a long way. Though he may not be using nearly as much hair gel as he did in his first year, the son from a wealthy, traditionally Slytherin family comes back to school in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" with a harder heart and a burden mounted with destiny and anger following the events of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."

When Draco first enrolled at Hogwart's, he had already inherited father Lucius' frighteningly blond hair and racist disregard for "Mudblood" children such as Hermione Granger, who was born to non-magical parents. The Sorting Hat unsurprisingly placed Draco in Slytherin House, where he would go on to cultivate his jealous rage toward Harry, whom he envied for snagging an early spot on Gryffindor's Quidditch team. Still too young and inexperienced to join his house's team or pose any threat as a full-fledged Death Eater, Draco didn't waste any time earning the allegiance of his Slytherin henchmen Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle or establishing himself as an enemy of Harry, Hermione, and Ron Weasley.
