It's an understatement to say that, during his time as a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry Potter — played on-screen by Daniel Radcliffe — gets into a ton of trouble. What's unfair about this is that, to Harry's credit, it's not usually his fault; as a baby, he managed to reverse a killing curse upon the Dark Lord Voldemort (eventually played by Ralph Fiennes in the film franchise) and created a deadly lifelong rivalry, which he certainly didn't intend to do. Throughout his first few years at Hogwarts, Voldemort, who hasn't yet returned to his corporeal form, employs a few tricks — from a haunted diary to an old henchman to a possessed professor — to try and attack Harry, but there's not much he can do without a body. This is all to say that in the fourth book and film, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," Voldemort...

Actor Tom Felton appears in a reunion photo that features several Harry Potter cast members alongside actors from the Fantastic Beasts films. Based on the novels by J.K. Rowling, the Harry Potter series made its debut in 2001 and concluded its run in 2011 with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2. The Fantastic Beasts franchise, which explores the world decades before the events of Harry Potter, continues to expand. So far, three of the planned five films have been released, with the latest, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, hitting theaters in 2022.

The Draco Malfoy actor took to Instagram to share the reunion photo. The post includes actors from both Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts, such as Devon Murray, who played Gryffindor classmate Seamus Finnegan, Scarlett Hefner, who played Slytherin Pansy Parkinson, Stanislav Yanevski, who played Durmstrang's Viktor Krum, and Louis Cordice, who played Slytherin Blaise Zabini.

The Harry Potter franchise introduced several characters over the course of time. Beyond the three primary characters— Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley, and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger— the hit film series also provided several memorable characters and they have all been crucial to the movies in the franchise.

Among the supporting characters, Viktor Krum appeared in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth installment in the franchise. The character was played by Stanislav Yanevski, who is now 39, and his new look was unveiled on his Instagram posts. And fans claimed that he could play the Witcher after Henry Cavill’s departure from the Netflix show.

Robert Pattinson has built an impressive career in Hollywood, working with many top actors in the industry. However, there was one co-star that he once admitted was “quite intimidating.”

Despite his success since his days in the Harry Potter franchise, Pattinson revealed that working with Emma Watson was a daunting experience for him. Their on-screen chemistry may have been strong, but behind the scenes, Pattinson was in awe of Watson’s talent and presence.

Harry Potter fans have long wondered if Pattinson and Watson ever had romantic feelings toward each other. Although Pattinson has remained tight-lipped about the subject, he did admit that Watson was “quite intimidating” on set.

Pattinson opened up about his experience working with Watson on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

"Kill him and get the girl!" Saban Films has released an official trailer for an action thriller titled Last Man Down, the second feature made by Swedish filmmaker Fansu Njie. It opens direct-to-vod starting in October, and this really does look like direct-to-video quality. Daniel Stisen stars as John Wood, who left the pieces of a broken civilization behind after a virus pandemic, to go back to his roots in the woodlands. Years later a wounded woman appears on his doorstep, claiming to have escaped from a lab because they believe her blood is the key to a worldwide cure. The film also stars Olga Kent, Daniel Nehme, Stanislav Yanevski, Madeleine Vall, and Natassia Malthe. This definitely looks like a macho woodsman badass takes-on-the-government-assholes kind of film, which might actually be entertaining to watch? Lock 'n load. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Fansu Njie's Last Man Down, direct from...

James and Oliver Phelps — that’s Fred and George Weasley — still hang out with their Harry Potter costars nearly 7 years after the release of the final film.

Some of their pals are to be expected — their movie brother Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and fellow Gryffindor Luke Youngblood (Lee Jordan) — but others cross some serious Potterverse allegiances. “I guess the normal shock for people is seeing us tee it up with Malfoy himself Tom Felton,” Oliver told People ahead of Universal Orlando’s A Celebration of Harry Potter this weekend. “Whenever we are in the same city we’ll meet up...

Looking back on this still-young century makes clear that 2007 was a major time for cinematic happenings — and, on the basis of this retrospective, one we’re not quite through with ten years on. One’s mind might quickly flash to a few big titles that will be represented, but it is the plurality of both festival and theatrical premieres that truly surprises: late works from old masters, debuts from filmmakers who’ve since become some of our most-respected artists, and mid-career turning points that didn’t necessarily announce themselves as such at the time. Join us as an assembled team, many of whom were coming of age that year, takes on their favorites.

The torture scenes in writer-director Eli Roth’s Hostel openly evoked the 2003 Abu Ghraib photographs, which depicted United States military and Central Intelligence Agency personnel subjecting Iraqi prisoners to acts of profound cruelty and abuse. The film also addressed post-9/11 U.

The Harry Potter books are full of all kinds of good stuff: magic, murder, and raging hormones. It was in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire — the fourth book in the series, for those not in the know — that it became all too clear that Ron and Hermione had a thing for each other. Rather than ask her to the Yule Ball, Ron simply waited, expecting that he could ask Hermione out at the last minute. Obviously, the kid was wrong, and Hermione ended up going to the ball with Durmstrang student and Quidditch badass, Viktor Krum.

This is one-sided “love triangle” of sorts (where Ron is intimidated by Viktor, and Viktor doesn’t even know Ron exists) that’s pretty much contained to the fourth book, and eventually Ron and Hermione end up together to live happily ever after. At no point does Viktor...

Based on the middle book in J.K. Rowling's series, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" was a pivotal film in many ways. Released 10 years ago this week (on November 18, 2005), "Goblet" marked the first time Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) saw one of his friends die, the first time Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) appeared in the flesh, and the first time we saw the young heroes of Hogwarts as hormonal teenagers.

As often as you've watched "Goblet of Fire," there's a lot you still may not know about it -- from the surprising controversy over the all-star band at the Yule Ball, to the Easter eggs that less-than-sharp-eyed Muggle viewers may have missed. So dip into the Pensieve and learn the secrets of "Goblet of Fire."1. Screenwriter Steve Kloves and the producers initially considered making Rowling's 734-page book into two films. Since they decided instead to condense it into a single 2.5 hour movie,...

Metrodome / Big Rich Films have released the first trailer for Resistance which stars Michael Sheen and Andrea Riseborough. The movie is a drama set in an alternate Britain in which D-Day has failed and the country is under Nazi occupation. It’s directed by Amit Gupta and also stars Kimberley Nixon, Iwan Rheon, Stanislav Ianevski, Tom Wlaschiha & Anatole Taubman.

It’s a fascinating idea and one which, from the trailer looks like it could be well worth a watch.

Resistance is set for release in the UK 25th November.

In case you didn’t know, the last Harry Potter film is coming out on July 15th. In countdown to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, I will be doing a bi-weekly series called “Harry Potter as Cinema”, starting with the first film in the series and working my way up to the final film. I will take an academic approach to the Harry Potter films as pieces of cinema, examining not only their quality but also what they are saying thematically.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Written by Steve Kloves

Directed by Mike Newell

USA/UK, 2005

Picking up right where Alfonso Cuarón left off, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire continues the maturation of the Harry Potter franchise shown in Prisoner of Azkaban. After Cuarón’s installment, Mike Newell faced the daunting challenge of bringing Jk Rowling’s doorstop to the screen and, for the most part,...

On the fifteenth of July, 2011, the highest grossing film franchise ever will finally come to an end. Spanning ten years, eight movies, four directors and a worldwide box-office gross of over six billion dollars – the Harry Potter film franchise will draw to a close with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, as Harry faces off against He Who Must Not Be Named for the very last time.

Billed as The Motion Picture Event of a Generation, we at HeyUGuys wouldn’t want anybody to miss out. As such, here’s our recap of seventh book in the franchise, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I. So, without further ado, previously on Harry Potter…

Different sects of the Harry Potter fanbase hold up different films in the soon-to-be concluded canon of motion pictures as the pinnacle of adaptation from the page to the screen. Some treasure Chris Columbus’s first two films with their child-like wonder. Others think Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban has yet to be matched. Still others believe Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire to be the lowest point in the series but that each of the films that followed has successively been the best. No matter where you stand, if you’re a fan and have been waiting to buy the Harry Potter films in the best possible release (with the most extras imaginable), then the Ultimate Edition collection really can’t be beat. Even if you’re one who finds faults with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, there’s so much to be found...

The filming for the wedding of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" could be done in early August. Thewlis Rox claimed to obtain the information that the particular scene will be shot starting August 10 when attending Harry Potter Exhibition at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry.

The David Thewlis fansite further noted to receive word from the museum staff that "one of David's outfits at the exhibition was recently shipped back to England for David to use/wear during the 'Wedding' sequence". Additionally, The Leaky Cauldron (Tlc) reported that the shooting for the scene will take place over several days.

Domhnall Gleeson who plays Bill, Clemence Posey who stars as Fleur, David Thewlis who portrays Remus and Stanislav Ianevski who returns as Viktor Krum are among those expected to join the principal photography, so said Tlc. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint will also be on hand.

Viktor's sole scene in the final book was at Bill and Fleur's wedding, which will begin filming in the next few weeks; actress Angelica Mandy, also confirmed (http://www.snitchseeker.com/harry-potter-news/angelica-mandy-reprise-gabrielle-delacour-role-deathly-hallows-updated-65993/) for Deathly Hallows, will play Fleur's sister and bridesmaid Gabrielle Delacour.

In February (http://www.snitchseeker.com/harry-potter-news/matthew-lewis-attend-florida-supercon-62515/) we announced that Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) would be attending the Florida Supercon (http://www.floridasupercon.com/) from June 5th - June 7th at the Doubletree Miami Mart Airport Hotel and Convention Center in Miami. Due to filming commitments for Deathly Hallows, he can longer make it and so Stanislav Ianevski (Viktor Krum) will be attending instead.
