The UK DailyMail has an article on Tom Felton and his attendance to the UK premiere of The Dark Knight last night. In it, he speaks about his role of Draco in the upcoming Half-Blood Prince movie and explains how the film will reveal much of his character's complexities.

Just a year after Deathly Hallows went on sale in the United States and United Kingdom, the final book in the Potter series went on sale today in Japan.

"I'm so excited I feel like crying. I'm totally enchanted," said a breathless young Japanese woman who gave her first name as Erina. She said she had waited outside the Tokyo bookstore since Tuesday afternoon.

"I feel sad that this is the end but since I've followed him throughout the years I will be seeing him out, and that comforts me," she said, wearing a blonde wig as Luna, one of the main characters.

http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20080724006099&newsLang=en

 

Warner Bros. Confirmed today that the worldwide debut of the trailer for the sixth film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, will take place via satellite on Tuesday, July 29th, from 9:00 - 9:15pm EST.

Below are the coordinates to pick up the feed:

Galaxy 28, Transponder 19, C-Band Analog
Downlink Frequency: 4080V
Audio Configuration: 6.2/6.8

Since most of us don't have the proper equipment to catch the satellite feed, this likely means the trailer will be placed before The Mummy, which is in theaters the next day, July 30th.
