WEEKEND TEN

— 1 POTTER

The Harry Potter cinematic series comes to a conclusion with Harry Potter and the Deathly Harrows: Part II, officially released Friday. But just about every theater that will be showing the movie will be showing it at midnight tonight (call to check availability). And some cineplexes are providing bonuses: The Riverdale 10 on Cantrell Road in Little Rock will also be showing Part I at 9 p.m. And the Conway Towne Center in Conway and the Tinseltown in Benton will be continuing Harry Potter marathons that started Wednesday, showing all seven previous films, today with screenings of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I, culminating in 12:01 a.m. Friday screenings of the finale.
