'Potter' IMAX Update and Bill Nighy Finally Nabs a Role

With his film due out in a couple of weeks, Harry Potter is beginning to make some waves. First up is an update on the Potter IMAX delay. Long story short, Half-Blood Prince won't be arriving on IMAX screens the same day the film hits conventional theaters because of a deal IMAX made with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen for an exclusive four-week run. However, three theaters will be getting Harry Potter in IMAX on opening day, July 15th, but if you don't live in New York, Los Angeles or Chicago, you're out of luck. Collider tells us those three theaters are as follows: Century City IMAX (Los Angeles), Henry Crown (Chicago), and AMC Loews Lincoln Square (NYC). The first 12 minutes of the movie have been converted to IMAX 3D, and so I'm sure it's worth the trip for those who live in the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, everyone else will have to wait another two weeks.

Was just going to say the same. I can't think of another significant male character that was introduced in this book.

that's what i was thinking! i mean, rowling's description matches how he looks pretty well, so there can't be another character, right? who else is a "goodie" that was introduced? *SPOILER* although Xenophilius Lovegood did try to hand Harry to the Death Eaters... hmm...

Well here in the UK they don't have the 4 week commitment period to IMAX which means that shiny turd Transformers 2 will be out of our IMAX cinemas much sooner.
July 15 I will be going to visit the IMAX to watch Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and I can't wait.
For all the people having to wait 2 weeks for what is officially the worse decision in movie history I'd just go to a regular cinema to make our friends over at IMAX realise what a stupid mistake they made by missing out on launch weekend in favour of a movie that sucks donkey balls.

Xenophilius Lovegood is confirmed to be played by Rhys Ifans. I'm thinking Alecto Carrow
