Bad news, Harry. I've just been to see Professor McGonagall about the Firebolt. She - er got a bit shirty with me. Told me I'd got my priorities wrong. Seemed to think I cared more about winning the Cup than I do about staying alive. Just because I told her I didn't care if it threw you off, as long as you caught the Snitch first.

I spent a lot of time writing for a political magazine once upon a time and every so often I find myself instantly ignoring some of the ridiculous things I hear on the news these days, because I grew so weary of the stuff when I was following it for a living. Sometimes I’m afraid to write about some of these things I DO hear because I know I’ll begin dissecting some of the absurd things people say out there that make up the news and I might never be able to stop writing. That or I would just simply keel over my computer in frustration.

Driving around L.A., which is definitely an industry town, you see billboards everywhere for Harry Potter asking CONSIDER in big letters.
Obviously hoping to appeal to academy voters, the billboard is asking to consider Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 for Oscars other than the usual technical awards.

The Journal, citing sources familiar with the plans, said NBC Universal was planning to expand its Universal Studios theme park in Los Angeles with a section devoted to the boy wizard.

After decades of false starts and drawn out development, a "Doctor Who" movie may finally be headed to the big screen. The BBC has brought in "Harry Potter" series helmer David Yates to develop a new incarnation of the character for a stand alone feature film.
Yates told Variety that he and Janet Tranter, head of BBC Worldwide Productions, are on the lookout for writers for the new project and will spend two to three years properly developing the material. Yates was quoted as saying, "It needs quite a radical transformation to take it into a bigger arena."

A new study helps to explain why some people loved or loathed the “Harry Potter” fictional series about a young wizard growing up in the world and fighting evil along the way.
According to Russell Webster, doctoral student in psychology at Kansas State University, people experience fantasy differently, and some people enjoy it more than others.

Do you remember how you felt when the credits started to roll on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2? It was bittersweet to see our favorite wizards and witches arrive at the end of their fantastic 10-year journey.
But as sad as it was for us to see the franchise come to an end, it was even more painful for the stars to hear the final "cut." Check out this exclusive clip from the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 DVD to get a behind-the-scenes look at the emotional wrap party.

It's no secret that a great many fans in the "Harry Potter" community — a whopping 89 percent, according to a wildly popular poll over at MTV Movies Blog — would have preferred that Hermione Granger end up with the boy wizard rather than with good ol' Ron Weasley. Perhaps the same sentiment occurred to author J.K. Rowling, who recently admitted that she almost sent Ron to an early grave.

J.K. Rowling is in a dishy mood. Or at least she was last year when Harry Potter‘s creator sat down with the character’s big screen portrayer Daniel Radcliffe for a conversation filmed for the Blu-ray edition of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2, on sale next week. By now you’ve probably heard about one provocative excerpt — how Rowling considered killing Harry’s red-headed best bud Ron Weasley while writing the seven novel series. The disclosure comes after Radcliffe asks if the author considered killing any of the big three: Harry, Hermione, and Ron. “Funnily enough, I planned from the start none of them would die,” Rowling says. “Then, midway through — which I think was a reflection of the fact that I was not in a very happy place – I started thinking about polishing one of them off. Out of sheer spite!”
But there’s more.

When I suggested that another "Harry Potter" complete DVD boxed set was on its way in the next year or so, I wasn't very far off. Warner Bros might be making a big deal of the fact that "Harry Potter" DVDs are being taken off shelves starting December 29, but they won't be gone forever. In fact, one head honcho over at WB says that yes, there will be a new even better special edition boxed set of all eight "Potter" DVDs due out by the end of 2012.
Entertainment Weekly chatted with Warner Bros's senior VP and general manager of their theatrical catalog Jeff Baker, who says that execs at WB are planning on a new boxed set focused on special features due out next year.

Relax, Potterheads. All is well. Yes, beginning on Dec. 29, Warner Bros. is halting shipments of Harry Potter DVDs and Blu-rays to Walmart and Amazon and other stores. But discs aren’t being immediately swept from the shelves. “Even though there could be a sense of urgency from the consumers’ perspective, there will be Potter product come the first of the year,” says Jeff Baker, senior vp and general manager of Warner Bros.’ Theatrical Catalog. “But over time, they’ll be less and less of that inventory. At some point, whether it’s next April or May or June or July, it’ll probably be very difficult to find Harry Potter product, especially if you’re looking for the third movie or the fifth movie, for example.”

Something big happened over the summer. The Harry Potter era ended, with the final movie installment of The Deathly Hallows. And with this, you'd think author J.K. Rowling had stopped writing anything related to Harry Potter.
Wrong.

‘IT was like something from The Day of the Triffids’ joked a Haddenham man after a mystery poisonous hallucinogenic plant sprouted in his garden.
Harvey Linke, 53, of Slave Hill, said he became ‘slighty alarmed’ when the Datura stramonium – which he had not planted – reached three feet high and started sprouting green pods with spikes.

As a result, we’ve decided to extend the Beta period … and take a different approach to the way new users are brought onto the site.

A four-minute teaser has hit the Web for When Harry Left Hogwarts, Morgan Matthews’ behind-the-scenes documentary of the making of both parts of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Watch it below. You truly get a feel for how secretive the production was, as evidenced by Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson having to mask their faces like kidnap victims as they were driven to shoot Part 2‘s epilogue (pictured). You also see how much angst the trio felt as filming came to an end and the genuine concern the franchise’s older actors had for them (Emma Thompson recommends therapy), as well as what it was like to be a bit player invited into this magical world. The 48-minute documentary will be available on the Blu-ray combo pack out Nov. 11.

It is no question Harry Potter is the most successful book/ movie franchise of this generation. All it took was seven books, eight movies, and an unrestricted amount of imagination to launch Harry Potter creator, once well fare recipient, J.K. Rowling into a life time of fame and fortune. Where most franchises would stop Harry Potter continued to expand with merchandise, a theme park, and now a unique website called Pottermore.
