Twilight, the Movie: This Season’s Harry Potter?
BusinessWeek 
Friedman moved the premiere of Twilight from Dec. 12, where he had it originally to avoid going up against Harry Potter, to the Nov. 21 slot, giving it more of a shot to catch the Thanksgiving and Christmas crowd. The movie is now up against Disney’s animated film Bolt, which is unlikely to lure the teen girls that should be Twilight’s core audience.

wearewizards-themovie. It’s highly enjoyable even if (like me) you’re not much of a Potterphile. Starting with the “Wizard Rock” scene that has produced the warring indie bands Harry and the Potters (representing the forces of good, quite obviously) and their evil counterparts Draco and the Malfoys, Koury gradually moves on to more extreme phenomena like the self-described “Partridge Family of Wizard Rock,” actually a noise-metal band whose lead singer was 7 years old at the time of filming. Then there’s the genuinely inspirational saga of Heather Lawver, a teenage Web entrepreneur who has battled both Warner Bros. and a life-threatening cancer, sparking a worldwide boycott of Potter products.
