Movie: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Website Address: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417741/
Release Date: November 21, 2008 (
I chose this movie because when the first Harry Potter movie came out I was in sixth grade. It was something that everyone was into at that time so I jumped on the bandwagon. Since I saw the first movie, I have been a Harry Potter fan all the way; this means that I have gone and seen all five movies since the first one's release.
The website that previews the sixth Harry Potter movie features a complete casting and pictures of everyone next to the role that they play. It also features a forum in which people can comment on the preview of the movie and what they are to expect. This film might not be like others because there has already been a book entitled Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
The website also includes facts about the film such as its running time and details about where it was filmed. At the bottom of the page, the website features a section that says, "Other Recommendations for Films". This is basically a section that describes and shows other films that the viewer might be interested in which are related to the film the viewer is currently looking at. Included in this section were the other five Harry Potter films such as The Sorcerer's Stone, The Chamber of Secrets, The Prisoner of Azkaban, The Goblet of Fire, and The Order of the Phoenix.
Something that I thought was particularly interesting on the website was that frequently asked questions were shown and you could click on them for the answers. These were questions that I actually had myself so it was quite helpful. If you had a question regarding the movie and it was not under the F.A.Q., you could ask it and the website would do its best to answer it by posting it on the forum for other viewers to see.
Information that I learned from the website are such things as the cast and what other movies they are in. Also, the website appears to be frequently updated so if anything were to come about regarding the new Harry Potter film, it would be posted for all to see.
At the bottom of the website, there are links to movie trailers, ring tones, and games relating to the new movie. These are all features that may be promoted by the film itself to bring in revenue.
The purpose of this website overall was definitely to inform the audience of the main facts relating the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. The website absolutely encouraged a continuation of the seven movie sequel because of the pictures of all of the other five movies featured towards the bottom of the page.

I like that you chose this movie to look up and discuss. It's something that everyone can relate to in a way because Harry Potter is so much a part of our generation and almost part of our history. I use IMDB as well and I love it, I find it very useful.Nice post.
