…and the Midlife Crisis: Harry Potter
The fictional wizard, according to the smash-hit series of books, turns 36 this weekend. Now he’s a dad with a day job, according to the two-part, five-hour play that officially opens in London on Saturday. The script, set 19 years after the final book and based on a story part-written by Harry’s creator, J.K. Rowling, will apparate into bookshops on Sunday (it’s already been top of the best-seller lists for months). The vast scale and the technical wizardry of the production, a tale of generational strife in the Potter and Malfoy clans, are sure to enchant the Potter faithful: cloak-covered transfigurations and fire-spouting wands abound. The play’s producers hope such whizbangery will entice new patrons; they would like half of ticket-buyers to be first-time theatregoers. Pottermania could work some needed magic on London’s audience figures—already, 250,000 extra seats have been announced for the previously sold-out run.

Reeling them in: Cannes Film Festival
① The Hollywood awards season starts here.

④ This year’s line-up features such trophy-friendly fare as "The BFG", Steven Spielberg’s Roald Dahl adaptation; "Money Monster", Jodie Foster’s recession thriller; and "Loving", Jeff Nichols’s inter-racial romantic drama.
⑤ There are also new offerings from Jim Jarmusch, Pedro Almódovar, Ken Loach and Park Chan-Wook.
