SUMMARY:
Released in 2008 in conjunction with Warner Bros. Entertainment, this 40-page tie-in paperback celebrates the actors portraying several of Hogwarts’ prominent students from the film. Short profiles (full name; character name; birthday; astrological sign; eye color; hair color; and recent TV-movie-stage credits) and Harry Potter and The Half-Brood Prince movie promo photos accompany mini-interviews with the following actors:
- Daniel Radcliffe; Emma Watson; Rupert Grint; Tom Felton; Bonnie Wright; James and Oliver Phelps;
- Jessie Cave; Evanna Lynch; & Matthew Lewis.
REVIEW:
To its credit, this book is more than just a superficial title. The interactive Q&A with each actor (varying in length — Daniel Radcliffe’s interview, for instance, is far more extensive than the others) gives readers a friendly chance to find out more about the actor behind the character and his/her feelings re: portraying the role. The posters (many of which are 8½ x11”) are high-quality portraits. For Harry Potter’s elementary school fans, this album makes a pretty nice treat.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 8 Stars
