What’s fall without an enormous mishmash of movies crowding the multiplexes? Here are some of the titles we’ll soon be seeing on big screens everywhere; note that release dates are tentative and can change as quickly as Lisbeth Salander can hack your e-mail.
No, but I read the book
They’re almost all grown up now: The “Harry Potter” saga begins to come to an end, nine years after the first movie, with “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I” (Nov. 19), with all the usual suspects and 3D to boot. (Part II, in case you’ve had your soul sucked out by a Dementor and have been therefore distracted, comes next July.)
