"The funny thing was that a rumour went around once that I was an avid reader of the Harry Potter books and that I was always first in the queue when they came out.

"Not the case, I'm afraid. Someone caught me thumbing through one on a bookstand and all I was doing - I admit it - was checking whether or not JK Rowling, the author, had written my character out!

"It was pure self-interest. I got to the magic words 'Mrs Weasley', realised I wasn't going to be the impending corpse and put the book back on the shelf."]]> Julie W]]> Fri, 09 May 2008 08:54:10 -0400 http://harrypotterspage.com/news.php/2008/05/08/rowling-writes-a-8220-storycard-8221-for-charity123.html Bloomberg reported the author of the Harry Potter series J.K. Rowling will be among 12 other authors to compose a “storycard” on a blank A5 card for a charity auction at Waterstone’s Piccadilly store in London on June 10, 2008. The proceeds from the “What’s Your Story” event will be donated to English PEN and Dyslexia Action.

The evening auction is by invitation only and the bidders will know who created each card. The other authors are Richard Ford, Tom Stoppard, Sebastian Faulks, Doris Lessing and Nick Hornby.

``It's impossible to say how much this auction will raise,'' said Gerry Johnson, managing director of Waterstone's, in the statement. ``With the caliber of authors involved, then really the sky is the limit. Owning an original piece of work by a favorite writer is the ultimate limited edition for fans.''

Per this article from Playbill, the play will close as scheduled. However, it will go to Broadway like Dan Radcliffe's Equus, but for the next season, which I believe is the Fall 2009 (Equus begins this September). I believe it will be with the same cast and the date will be in 2009 because the article states that later this year Fiennes will do Oedipus (which should be after his engagement with Gate/Beckett in New York) at the National Theatre.

I swear it's hard to keep track of that man's schedule. :lolol:]]> Fiennes]]> Thu, 08 May 2008 18:13:32 -0400 http://harrypotterspage.com/news.php/2008/05/08/more-casting-information-and-rumors-for-next-harry-potter-films123.html Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows.

Casting Call Pro have updated their site with four new actors for smaller roles in Half-Blood Prince.

- Dean Garnham as a Slytherin Student
- Teresa Mahoney as character Sofie in an opening scene in a board room
- Lord Johnpaul Castrianni as a Death Eater
- Daniel Barnett as a Slughorn ball graduate

Additionally, Clemence Poesy, who was Fleur Delacour in Goblet of Fire, was recently interviewed by WhoWhatWearDaily. During the interview, she mentioned that she was not going to reprise her role as Fleur, which would indicate that she would not be in Deathly Hallows. This has not, however, been confirmed as of yet.

Although only living American mothers are currently eligible for this honor, J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, is a honorary “Global” inductee, in recognition of “the impact she has had on children and their parents around the world, especially in the United States.”

Other honorees include Paula Deen, Naomi Judd, Nancy Lopez, Carolyn Moseley Braun, Indra Nooyi, Sandra Day O’Connor, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Walters, and Meg Whitman.

Sir Anthony Clarke, the ruling judge, stated, "If a child of parents who are not in the public eye could reasonably expect not to have photographs of him published in the media, so too should the child of a famous parent."

J.K. Rowling and her husband, Neil Murray, put out a statement, saying, "We embarked on this lawsuit not because we were seeking special privileges for our children but because we wanted them to grow up, like their friends, free from unwarranted intrusion into their privacy."

Let's hope that the RDR Books vs JKR/WB case comes out with this type of positive ruling as well.]]> JKR]]> Wed, 07 May 2008 07:36:59 -0400 http://harrypotterspage.com/news.php/2008/05/07/jessie-cave-speaks-of-ron-weasley-kissing-scene123.html Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, recently spoke with Asos Magazine.
