Wouldn’t you like to stay in the JK Rowling Room?

Of course you would! The Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh, Scotland, have decided to re-name the room in which Jo Rowling completed her writing of Deathly Hallows. There’s a bust that JK signed upon completion of the book; in addition, the hotel has added a plaque to the room and a brass door knocker.

Sqweeee!! Just got another image from Warner Brothers today; this one is of Professor Slughorn, played by Jim Broadbent, talking to Harry Potter (of course, played by Daniel Radcliffe). What do you think?

Severus and Lilly video tribute

This video, while it does get a wee bit cheesy, is also pretty moving. Don’t watch it if you haven’t read Deathly Hallows!

What did you think? I thought it was pretty well-done; the whole relationship dynamic between Lilly and Severus was one of my favorite parts of the entire series.

Twilight’s Robert Pattinson talks about Harry Potter

17th Annual MTV Movie Awards - Arrivals
Image details: 17th Annual MTV Movie Awards - Arrivals served by picapp.com

Robert Pattinson, who played Cedric Diggory, is making his way again on the silver screen, this time in an adaptation of Stephanie Meyer’s popular book “Twilight”. He spoke to MTV about his experiences with Harry Potter:

MTV: You’re the only actor to appear in both the “Harry Potter” and “Twilight” universes. Is Stephenie Meyer’s material meatier, in your opinion?

Pattinson: In a lot of ways. My character certainly is [more substantial] than the character I played in “Harry Potter” [Cedric Diggory], mainly because the entire thing is based on Edward’s character and who he is. He is very tortured and conflicted, which is very different from what I played in “Harry Potter.” But it’s a completely different style of book.

MTV: How so?

Pattinson: “Twilight” is a first-person narrative. It’s very obsessive, and it’s a much more personal book, I think, than “Harry Potter” is, in a lot of different ways. There are only two characters pretty much in the trilogy. Well, I guess three, but essentially two. It’s just about a love story rather than a massive adventure and an entire world. It’s set as much as possible in the real world, so it’s different. - source

I have to admit, I haven’t read any of these books, but they look really good. Any readers out there who want to comment? Should I give ‘em a try?

Actual movie footage of Slughorn’s house - watch!

Well, now we’re getting somewhere! Here is actual footage of the location used for the exterior of Slughorn’s house in Half-Blood Prince. The house, situated in Lacock, England, was used for shooting in October 2007 - you can see it about halfway through the video:

What do you think? Interesting. I’m looking forward to seeing the interaction that Slughorn, played by Jim Broadbent, brings to the Half-Blood Prince.

The Half-Blood Prince teaser trailer will be attached to The Mummy 3

OMG, you guys. Oh. My. GAWD.

For like the bazillionth time, we’re hearing “confirmed” reports about the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince teaser trailer. First we heard it was going to be on “Get Smart” (great movie, by the way), then on “Dark Knight”, and NOWWWW, we’re getting reports that it’s going to be attached to “The Mummy 3″. Here’s more:

The Half-Blood Prince teaser trailer will be arriving with The Mummy on August 1st in the United States. This information came to them from Warner Brothers Mexico.

While this is by no means an official confirmation (an official one would be from Warner Brothers’ US offices), it lends credibility to Mummy reports we received last week from a couple of movie theaters. - source

ARGH. Okay, so which movie do you think the teaser is actually going to be attached to?

This week at the Gryffindor Gazette

Hey there, Potter fans! Here’s what we’ve been talking about this week here at the Gryffindor Gazette:

And you know what, I know this week we’re all practically ready to send Warner Brothers a petition to GET THAT TRAILER OUT ALREADY, so I’ve found a video that will stand in for the real thing until we get it. Well, kind of, anyway. Stay with me! It’s pretty darn good:

Not too bad, right? Hope you have a happy Saturday!!!
