All SNITCHED Up!
Monday, July 20 by Julie Brown
Congratulations to all entrants in our Harry Potter photo awards for their outstanding costume efforts. We were particularly impressed with the efforts of Aitak Salempour who sent us the winning picture of the Golden Snitch with Dumbledore. Aitak has won an IMAX Gift Pack plus a screening for 10 people at the Theatre. The costume featured in the winning photograph was a spectacular gold sequinned ball that couldn't be mistaken for anything other than the Golden Snitch. We didn't know Dumbledore was a Quidditch player but he certainly has a firm grip on that Snitch!
Harry Fans - Send us your photos & WIN!

Harry Potter fans were out in force last night for the opening of the latest EXPLOSIVE instalment of the Hogwarts series here at IMAX in Darling Harbour. We heard great stories about the crazy costumes people came wearing to the midnight showing: Harry Potter himself was a popular character, along with Ron, Hermoine and Luna - but can you believe that some people came dressed as the elusive Golden Snitch, Hagrid's horrid spider Aragog and even the Hogwarts Express itself!

Friday, July 10 by Julie Brown
Just when you thought things couldn't get any better in Darling Harbour - with both Transformers 2 and Harry Potter screening at your favourite IMAX Theatre - it looks like the next year's lineup will be even more impressive. Hold on to your seats... put on those 3D glasses... and get ready for our biggest blockbuster season yet!
A Christmas Carol 3D - Starts 5 November 2009
Disney's A Christmas Carol, this year's spectacular 3D holiday release from director Robert Zemeckis and starring Jim Carrey, will be the first film from The Walt Disney Studios slated for IMAX theatres under a new five-picture arrangement the studio reached with IMAX Corporation. Robert Zemeckis' takes the art of performance capture to the next level in this multi-sensory 3D film, capturing the fantastical essence of the classic Dickens tale. Ebeneezer Scrooge (Jim Carrey) begins the Christmas holiday with his usual miserly contempt, barking at his faithful clerk (Gary Oldman), and his cheery nephew (Colin Firth). But when the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come (all played by Carrey) take him on an eye-opening journey revealing truths Old Scrooge is reluctant to face, he must open his heart to undo years of ill will before it's too late.
