Mersey director to weave Harry Potter movie magic

Previous 1 2

Yates did not follow the traditional film school route, and instead made short films by winning grants before eventually securing television work. Being brought in to direct such a major film with so few full-length films under his belt is a major coup. But first cinemas across the region are expecting long queues as the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire opens tonight. It follows the latest adventures of characters Harry, Ron and Hermione, played by Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, and is billed as "the darkest Potter yet". It has had mixed reviews from film critics with some praising the film for its darker nature and others criticising it for being too scary for children - it has been classified as a 12A. But it is certain that thousands of devotees of the teenage wizard's adventures will turn up at cinemas across the region this weekend. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT Some are already sold out for the main Friday and Saturday night screenings. A spokesman for FACT in Liverpool said: "We are already booked out for the main showing today. Saturday and Sunday is also getting busy. "Harry Potter is always a big draw with audiences and this one is bound to be no exception." samlister@dailypost.co.uk
