Potter Frenzy

Harry Potter Half Blood Prince broke a record and made $20 million dollars in the midnight showing shattering the record of The Dark Knight ($18 million) and Star Wars ($17 million) . You can truly tell that the Sooner State has caught the Potter fever again. With all the theatres across the state completely sold out there is no wonder why this film won’t go down into history as the biggest film franchise.
College students, adults, children, all showed up in costumes who have grown up around Harry Potter in the past ten years were excited to see the film. The long witch robes and wands at hand and don’t forget the famous Potter glasses and a drawn on lightening scar.
I for one was part of the midnight showing and saw the midnight madness and as a potter fan myself I absolutely loved the excitement and the movie totally lived up the name as the summer highlight blockbuster.

  1. That is crazy that a movie reeled in $20 million for midnight showings alone. I love the books, but have been disappointed in some of the movies. Of course, I always enjoy going to see the newest one out to see if they have improved. I have heard great things of this new one so I hope it can live up to its expectations. It's hard to believe this is the sixth movie in the series. That's a long time to be on a cast together.
