Big movie tie-ins for 2008

Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince | November 2008

What's it all about?
Wizards. Adolescent anguish abounds in the halls of Hogwarts in this, the sixth film based on JK Rowling's popular Potter novels. In addition to coping with his descending testicles and the sudden realisation that girls are good for more than just casting cooking incantations, Potter and his band of merry magicians have to battle Voldemort, make potions, save the day etc.

Above: She'll probably be the best thing in the film, so here's a shot of Helena Bonham Carter smoking a fag that we happen to find particular sexy

Is it getting gamed-up?
Nothing announced, but you don't have to possess prophetic powers to deduce that a movie tie-in will materialise. It'll be released by EA and will be available for all the usual platforms.

Should you be excited?
We're not expecting this to be anything other than more of the same - perhaps with some added emo to represent the raging hormones. So with five previous chances to give the Harry games a try, you should know by now whether or not this is likely to stiffen your wand.

I don't have the energy to really hate anything properly. Most things I think are OK or inoffensively average. I do love quite a lot of stuff as well, though.
