MySpace hosts preview Black Curtain screening of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and a quest to find the nation's biggest Harry Potter fans
MySpace, the world's premiere social portal, today announced that MySpace users will be some of the first in Australia to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince on July 13th for FREE. One of the most anticipated films of the year, the excitement leading up to this Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince MySpace Black Curtain- two days before the blockbuster's official national release on July 15th- is expected to reach fever pitch.
Taking place in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, the only way MySpace users can attend an exclusive preview screening is by befriending the Black Curtain profile [www.myspace.com/blackcurtainau] where from 4pm on Monday 6th July, they will find a code to SMS in order to be sent a unique ticket to their mobile. Fans lucky enough to attend are encouraged to come dressed as their favourite Harry Potter character.
In addition to the Black Curtain preview screening, MySpace is also on quest to find Australia's biggest Harry Potter fans. From June 15th the Black Curtain profile blog will be taking submissions from MySpace users around the country vying to be voted Australia's number one Harry Potter fan. From video entries, photos and stories, to songs or anecdotes, MySpace users are encouraged to submit creative material proving they are Australia's biggest Harry Potter fans. A winner from each state will be selected by MySpace and announced on June 22nd. These Harry Potter fans will not only receive two tickets to the Black Curtain screening, they will also score a Black Curtain "Black Ticket": guaranteed entry to every Black Curtain screening for the next 12 months.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is the latest in a long line of pre-release screenings that MySpace has secured for their popular Black Curtain events. Recent screenings include; Australia, High School Musical 3, Star Trek and The Dark Knight and Twilight. "Harry Potter inspires such devotees, MySpace are delighted to be giving fans around the country an opportunity to not only be some of the first people in Australia to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince but the freedom to express their enthusiasm for this modern-day classic" said Rebekah Horne, Vice President of Fox Interactive Media, Australia.
About the last Harry Potter movie:
In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ™, Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well - connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.
