JK Rowling has donated £10 million ($15.5 million) in order to start up a new Multiple Sclerosis (MS) clinic at the University of Edinburgh.  The clinic, which will be named The Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic after her mother who died from complications of MS, will conduct research for the disease.  It will also research other diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntingdon’s.

Jo made a statement about the clinic earlier today.

“I have just turned 45, the age at which my mother, Anne, died of complications related to her MS,” Rowling said in a statement on Tuesday.

“I know that she would rather have had her name on this clinic than on any statue, flower garden or commemorative plaque, so this donation is on her behalf, too; and in gratitude for everything she gave me in her far-too-short life.”

“I cannot think of anything more important, or of more lasting value, than to help the university attract world-class minds in the field on neuroregeneration, to build on its long and illustrious history of medical research and, ultimately, to seek a cure for a very Scottish disease,” Rowling said.

There will be a “Magic Christmas” in Paris, France this year.  Actually, that is the name of the Harry Potter conference hosted by Spotlight Events which will be held on December 18 and 19 at the La Maison Internationale. 

According to the conference’s Facebook page, Harry Potter stars Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom), and Chris Rankin (Percy Weasley) have already confirmed their plans to attend the event and participate in the talk sessions opened to the guests.  There will also be speakers who have worked on the Harry Potter films such as some of the actors who were the French “voices” for the Harry Potter stars.

Photoshoot and autograph sessions also will be on the agenda to give attendees the opportunity to meet the special guests.  To give the conference a “magical” atmosphere, an orchestra will be playing music from the films while there will be games to be played, contests to be won, and magic shows to be seen.  And one of the highlights of the conference will be Un Bal des Sorciers (A Dance of the Sorcerers/Sorcerers Ball) by invitation only!

It is noted that you don’t have to speak French to attend or have a good time.

Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter) was featured in Out magazine.  The feature includes an extensive interview with him and Lady J.  It also includes some great photos which you can see in our gallery starting here.  Here are a few excerpts from the interview:

DR: I was just in L.A. for the first time in my life. I went for the premiere of the fifth [Harry Potter] film, but other than that, I’d never really gone there before. So I went for five days and did my first round of meetings and going to studios. It was very exciting.
OLJ: You just made your first trip to Hollywood?
DR: People seem to have a very bizarre perception of me — that I’m a Hollywood actor. I don’t think of myself that way. And when I was out there and telling people it was pretty much my first trip, jaws just hit the floor. They were looking at me like I had two heads.

OLJ: What kind of music are you listening to these days? You’re always passionate about your artists.
DR: An English singer-songwriter called Frank Turner. He’s absolutely brilliant. Oh, the Drums — I quite like a couple of songs by them. The Divine Comedy’s new album is really, really good. It’s called Bang Goes the Knighthood, and it’s very, very funny and sad. And of course, I’m still listening to Florence and the Machine. “My Boy Builds Coffins” was a song I listened to a lot this year when I was playing Harry. It felt like the right tone.

DR: There is a novelty factor, almost, with some people. I grew up in a world where I was aware of gay and transgender culture from a very young age, because I was brought up with a real mix of people around me. And people who have a huge, different range of experiences. But not everyone grows up in the same circumstances.
OLJ: That’s why you’re getting major points in tranny heaven for doing this interview, because it is exposure and it is important. Are we allowed to talk about your love life?
DR: Yes. It’s very uninteresting, but you’re more than welcome to.
OLJ: What’s happening?
DR: I was in a relationship with somebody for just about three years, and we broke up just shortly before we hit that mark. But [the breakup] was very amicable. At the moment, I’m just being single and running around chasing girls. [Laughs] I’m not getting too many responses, but, yes, I’m having a go. I’m also starting to go on dates for the first time. I’ve never really done it because all my girlfriends that I’ve ever met, I’ve met through work. So we got to know each other really well at work and then kind of ended up going out.
OLJ: What is it like to go on dates as Daniel Radcliffe?
DR: It’s quite nerve-racking because it’s not something I’m used to. Not that I struggle with talking, but I have this incredible anxiety about awkward silences and pauses and all that stuff, which I think everybody worries about. But I get quite wound up about that beforehand. I do actually manage to get quite chatty in the end — probably too much — and probably a bit boring. I just try to make girls laugh. That’s really the only thing I’m particularly good at on dates.
OLJ: Well that’ll give the ladies of New York City something to look forward to when you’re in town.
DR: [Laughs] I can’t pretend I haven’t thought about that a couple of times. I’ve already had people offering to set me up!
