It is being reported that actor David Thewlis will complete his run as werewolf Remus Lupin in Deathly Hallows this coming March. In an in-depth interview with David's partner, Anna Friel, a small comment announced David's Harry Potter schedule: Thewlis is filming the final instalments of Harry Potter until March and Friel is choosing between scripts which could take her to New Zealand or back to LA in the new year. There have been numerous statements from the cast and crew that production for Deathly Hallows will be completed by April-June 2010, though nothing has been confirmed yet.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be out November 19, 2010 and July 15, 2011.
While thanking fans for well wishes and birthday gifts, Evanna Lynch spoke about how she tried out for a role in the Harry Potter films well before receiving the part of Luna Lovegood in Order of the Phoenix, and what it had inspired in her.
Quote: I'd like to remind you all of this fact because I'm sure many of you have or have had the same dream and have encountered all the apparent obstacles. People like to hype it up and make it sound impossible, unattainable, too good for you...
Just the other day I was trying to clean out my desk (anything other than study, exactly!) and I came across the letter that I received from the HP casting dept. It was a reply to a tape I sent long before the open audition, long before the release of Goblet of Fire even, on my own initiative. They did reply and kindly told me that there were no openings on the film at the minute and that also nationality played a big role in casting.
Plainly put, it looked like the cards were against me and I'm sure I felt that way at the time. I'm not saying this to big myself up (cos I know they use this on press releases etc. etc.), I mean to remind you how fine the line is between reaching a goal and not. I wasn't an actress with connections or anything particularly distinguishing. This is why I hate the probability chapter in my maths book.
Manifestation doesn't take into account how many chances you have. If it happens it happens and it didn't matter what anyone else told you. Sorry to annoy any mathematicians out there but I don't believe in probability!
So strip away all the hype, because anything anyone tells you is just...chat, and it's really up to you and you'll get nowhere if you don't at least believe you deserve everything you dream about.

Barack Obama mentions Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling New Address In a speech in order to be shared with several small pre-school children in the United States, President Brack Obama quote Harry Potter series as an example of passing of our beloved author JK Rowling before publishing his first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
President Obama mention the world basketball star, Michael Jordan, who was denied access to his college team on several occasions and of course JK quote Rowling saying that the first book in the series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was rejected 12 times before being finally published in 1997.

Hogwarts in 'A brief guide to imaginary places'
For those who did not know, I'm a bibliophile and love to be. This summer I spent much time at Casa del Libro (and in bookstores and more specialized in rare and antique books) and bought around 30-40 books. Among them I found one that caught my attention. The book is entitled A brief guide to imaginary places and belongs to the editorial Alliance (in my opinion, one of the best publishers of books in Spanish).
In the back of the book, states that include parts of the world of JK Rowling. Originally, the book did not include them (as is 1980), but the book I bought is an expanded edition in 2000. In this book, the only place in the magical world of Harry Potter's Hogwarts is included, and data is extracted only from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
It is noteworthy that those who are interested in buying this book just for Harry Potter, they should not because it does not bring much information about the magical world created by JK Rowling. But for those who like fantasy, science fiction, magical realism and other trends in this style, the book is commendable and there is not only magical places belonging to English literature but also literature in other languages (eg Macondo is included).
'The Half-Blood Prince' continues to struggle to beat 'The Order of the Phoenix'
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince continues to raise money in the world but has yet to beat Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Now, it has been reported that the sixth Harry Potter film has grossed $ 916.4 million dollars worldwide, nearly $ 12 million more than last week. Similarly, still needs to raise $ 23 million to become the second highest grossing movie of the saga.
Also, it has been reported that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has reached the 50 million pounds in the UK, which had not happened in the series since Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
At this point, there is still some possibility that surpass the Order of the Phoenix, but it is almost impossible to exceed the Sorcerer's Stone. Similarly, the sixth movie was another box-office records and was well received by the public and much of the fandom.
Thanks SD!
Update: I take to report, as I said on Twitter, we know that have appeared in Internet photos of an actress from the Harry Potter enjoy their new life in another country, but this blog respects the privacy of the actors, actresses, producers, directors and writer, so we wont publish it.
Tom Felton: Photographs at Dragon Next Upcoming Events Theme Park
The talented actor Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy majestically in the Harry Potter films, recently attended the Dragon * Con 2009 which took place in the city of Atlanta in Georgia, USA. In the aforementioned event, the actor had the opportunity to share with many fans of the Harry Potter and even made a sort of round table discussion touched on several points of discussion related to the saga.
Tom says his favorite scene from The Half-Blood Prince was when he had hit Harry on the Hogwarts Express, also said it is a disadvantage playing Draco Malfoy in the films because, when the children visit the set, tend to feel afraid to see it but says it means he is doing his job very well. Like most actors in the series, Tom is also very sad for the completion of filming of the Harry Potter and says he is fully convinced that the action is your thing and that is why we will focus on this race the rest of his artistic life, and I think it's a good decision because this kid has a talent. After great conversation pottérica, fans and Tom enjoyed a large cake. Here you can enjoy the photos:
Discussion Topic: Are there two Chosen ones? Posted By: Aura Zephyr in Debates, Harry Potter, Lord Voldemort, Neville Longbottom, Opinion
When I finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, I had a certainty: there was never elected one. I know that many find strange my point, since one of the names by which knows Harry is the Chosen One. True, Harry was the "chosen" of Lord Voldemort, of prophecy but there are always two options "interchangeable". And in this is one of the errors of the Dark Lord and why he was defeated. Of course I am referring to the existence of Neville Longbottom in history.
Before you throw me over with their counter-arguments, let me explain.
The prophecies are always misleading, ambiguous, subject to various interpretations. Nobody really knows where they came from or who inspired them. One of the knowledge you have about prophecies is that it only has real understanding of where the facts they relate have already been fulfilled. That is why we try to be guided by a prophecy is useless or, in the worst-very dangerous.
Recall the prophecy of Sybill Trelawney, who met in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix:
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches ... Born to those who challenged him thrice the world by the seventh month dies ... And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not ... And one of the two must die at the hands of the other for neither can live while the other still alive ... The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born at the end the seventh month ... "
It is true, speaks of "the only ..." But Dumbledore tells us that there were two children magicians who met the conditions of the prophecy, Neville and Harry. I will say that J.K. Rowling later said that Neville was born on July 30 and Harry 31, so it is logical that the prophecy was referring to Harry because he was born on the last day of July. I agree that's a good argument, but really who had the final decision was Voldemort. He would be who would choose the child and "it would mark as his equal." Harry Potter becomes "The One" by the decision of Lord Voldemort to attack him, not because the prophecy dictates.
What I think is that either child could have been the Chosen One. And I rely on multiple arguments, not only in that both have similar features, but the similarity of the situations and decisions taken by the boys throughout the saga.
The similarities between the two youngsters are clear and known to us all. Both were children whose parents belonged to the Order of the Phoenix. They "lost" their parents when they were babies (the Harry were killed and Neville were hurt to lose your sanity), so both home grown and orphaned relatives. Is not it strange that Neville also lost their parents, even though Voldemort did not attack him? Not me, I am convinced that their fate was to go the same way Harry.
It is true that Harry was much more "certain" that Neville, who was always more clumsy and forgetful. But in a way, Neville had never had a need to develop their personality, as Harry had to do it very early. No doubt Neville grew more protected than Harry. But when it comes time to confront those who made him sick to his parents, no longer the shy boy who was and is evident the strong personality and unwavering principles he holds (remember her performance in HP5).
Now I get to my best and dearest argument: the similarity of the paths traveled both in the saga. And attitudes that were against Lord Voldemort (and even the behavior that he had for them). It is here that the book first and the seventh book come together in a strange coincidence (I say "strange" because it seems that in reality would be something very unusual, and it is therefore clear that Rowling planned it that way because he thought a so much like mine).
In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry finally comes face to face with Lord Voldemort. There, in front of the Mirror of Erised, what's the first thing the Dark Lord? It offers to join him. Harry How do you respond? Never!
In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, when the castle gates, Lord Voldemort is for the first time in the series against Neville ... what's the first thing you propose? To join them, and is covierta one of his Death Eaters. And what Neville repond? I will join you the day that hell freezes over!
In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, a "spectral" Tom Riddle Jr. treats Harry with obvious interest and contempt at once, yet does not kill directly but tells the basilisk to do so. It Fawkes, the phoenix, who provides the Potter Sorting Hat, which takes-after putting it on the head of Gryffindor's sword and kills the king of serpents.
In The Deathly Hallows, the Dark Lord show your appreciation for the qualities of Neville and when he refused to be your ally, not incurring the immediate act of killing an Avada Kedavra, but inexplicably he who brings the Sorting Hat and placed on the head to set fire Longbottom below. But then Neville drew his sword and beheads the hat of Lord Voldemort's snake.
Is not that an interesting and obvious coincidence that both boys have been killed snakes Heir of Slytherin? I think J.K. Rowling wrote the scene between Neville and Voldemort having an idea in mind. Harry said that not only was dangerous to Voldemort. Neville might have had the same role if the Dark Lord Harry had attacked him as a baby. The only advantage he had Harry to face Voldemort was his ability to get inside the mind of his enemy, to see and feel what they saw and felt Voldemort. The capacity to love, strong principles and unwavering will to confront the dark magic, were qualities that Neville had.
For those who still believe that there is no logic to my point, to think that Rowling never intended to propose this, I ask you to think in various situations of the series in which Neville appears. I will name some I remember:
- In The Order of the Phoenix, Neville is the only partner who is fighting to end with Harry in the Department of Mysteries. The only one apart from Harry took the field with the prophecy in their hands and even the presence when it breaks (though I can not hear it). Even earlier, in the Hall of Prophecy, when Harry attempts to take the field, there is a curious reaction from the boys:
"" I think you should not touch it, "said Hermione Harry saw Harry stretched his arm.
- Why not? "He replied. It has something to do with me, right?
"Do not do, Harry," Neville said suddenly. Harry looked at him. The round face of his comrade was covered in sweat. It seemed that I could not hold more suspense.
"Take my name," insisted Harry.
And with the vague feeling that he was committing an indiscretion, put his hands around the dusty crystal ball. [...]"
In this excerpt, Rowling seems to indicate that both Harry and Neville were attracted by the prophecy and Harry was even more "reckless" or felt more compelled to take it (as it bore his name), completely ignores the warning of Hermione, but There is "something" that makes him stop when Neville asks. I think this is a sign that both young Rowling tied to the prophecy.
- Half-Blood Prince, Neville fighting the Death Eaters to enter Hogwarts, is wounded to pursue and launched with great courage against the barrier with which they block access to the Astronomy Tower. It encounters with him that Harry got out of the tower and who said he escaped where Snape and Draco, and urges him to follow.
- In The Deathly Hallows is the more we understand the true role that Neville has in history. When Harry is not, it is Neville who faces the Dark Lord's reign. He becomes the leader of the opposition at Hogwarts. In the symbol of unyielding beings who fight against evil. It is no accident or whim that the author has written the scene of Neville stood up to Lord Voldemort. Neville Why? Why among all those afflicted by the "death" of Harry, was Neville who still faces the Dark Lord? Why not Ron or Hermione, or maybe Ginny, who could have been driven to avenge the death of her beloved Harry? No, it had to be Neville Longbottom. Granted, he was not the Chosen of Voldemort, but was "elected" to Harry. When he goes to meet death ... leaves in the hands of Neville on completing their mission. This is the moment when Harry realizes that Neville is equal to him, not to capitulate or give truce in the fight against darkness.
In summary, I believe that Rowling gave us many hints and signs, to which it so assiduously, to make us understand why Harry and Neville were so similar and charged with the same mission. Lord Voldemort's mistake was forgetting to Neville, that one other child who "might" be dangerous for him and that "might" be able to defeat him. The prophecy always played against the Dark Lord, and although it was "certain" as to what happened with Harry, totally deceived him with regard to Neville. The mere existence of "the Boy Who Lived" made completely forget the existence of that other child.
The prophecy fell to Lord Voldemort "to believe in it-to choose a single child. But the power behind the prophecy chose two. That power, the real enemy of Voldemort, played to win with a bluff, made his bet and won.
Now I invite you to discuss my theory. I know that I have written enough to write this article (an essay, actually), but I hope you find interesting and inspiring.

Never before seen picture of Chris Columbus, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint:
Some time ago I saw a photograph of the first time that actors Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint met. Now, eBay is selling a previously unseen photograph of director Chris Columbus with some young Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. No doubt a very tender picture leads us to the days when we waited for the release of the first Harry Potter movie.
Compare that picture with that of Dan, Rupert and Emma in the filming of Deathly Hallows. Does it show much change from child to young adult? See you in the comments.
Thank you!

"JK Rowling works on the Harry Potter encyclopedia"
And today we woke up with great news yesterday as the celebrated author Ian Rankin, a close friend of our beloved author JK Rowling revealed on the agenda of the BBC Radio Five Live Simon Mayo, the last time you saw and shared with Jo, she was working hard in the Encyclopedia Pottérica, apart from that, Ian said that it was when the writer elaborated the family trees of different families. Significantly, Ian also said he has some time without seeing Joanne and that is why it was not known whether Encyclopedia being developed by mere pastime and amusement of the writer or went beyond it.
This information provided by the aforementioned author certainly makes us more happy one because at least we have evidence that Jo is writing the Encyclopedia Pottérica or maybe "already finished? ... Are we just a few months of the publication of this "delicacy pottérico" which will tell us information never revealed in the 7 books of the saga? Recall that in the trial against RDR Books, the writer said that his encyclopedia would be published between 2010 and 2011.
Thanks,!
Ian Kelly confirmed as Hermione`s Father in 'The Deathly Hallows'
It has been confirmed today that the British actor Ian Kelly has been selected to play the Muggle father of Hermione Granger in the seventh film adaptation, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Ian is rumored to appear briefly in a sequence in which we will see Hermione doing a memory spell on modifying their parents before leaving for the Burrow and looking for the Horcruxes with Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, in order to be to Australia and thus achieve protection.
Recall that the actress Michelle Fairley, who plays Mrs. Granger has already filmed her scenes for films, recorded at Leavesden Studios, though still not very clear exactly what they are or at what point will appear within 2 tapes.
Video: Special Effects of 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' The company Rising Sun, responsible for the spectacular visual effects of the sixth movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, recently published an excellent video which contains enough interesting material related to the effects present in some of the scenes of the sixth movie. You can see below:
(Or you can enjoy it on Youtube) As you have seen in the video we can see how step by step analyzes each scene while performing various tasks of applying effects to reach the right, in the video displayed as underwent reconstruction of the destroyed house where he lived and Slughorn also applying some effects Sortilegius shop Weasley, personally I was surprised to see that Sectusempra scene, specifically when Draco blood emanates from your body is completely created by a computer, ie, the liquid is simply the work of the special effects. Also, it is extremely interesting to see slowly the photo editing of the fight between Harry and Snape in the final minutes of the film.

Essay: Lessons Magic and Muggles: In the following essay will attempt to compare the materials or classes that take place in Hogwarts or other magic schools (Durmstrang, Beauxbatons, Institute of the Witches of Salem, etc..), With the Muggles lessons, taught in schools .
I want to start by enumerating the various subjects magic, and compared with those Muggles (since many more), we know, in all the magic, we know that at Hogwarts are taught the following:
Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms, Potions, Astronomy, History of Magic, Divination (from third year, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban), Care of Magical Creatures and Herbology as binding, and Aritmancia, Ancient Runes and Muggle Studies as optional (the optional are released in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban). In addition, for all we know, only in first year (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone), are taught the basics of flight.
By comparing, we can say that History of Magic is like studying history Muggles, Herbology Muggle with the subject line of the same name and Astronomy, and finally, can be likened to Potions and Chemistry as similar. Ancient Runes have their synonyms in the Muggle world, but not taught in normal schools, and are basically Aritmancia Divination and fortune-telling techniques and prediction muggle (the example that most resembles is the Tarot Aritmancia and techniques Divining cover many non-magical routines).
Having already made the comparison, jumps at a glance that there is no learning of the basic themes are Muggles, as Study of Language and Mathematics. But we also know that these are used in normal subjects like math Potions, or any duty or grammar class. Mathematical formulas are mentioned, and the Runes, to take one example, is a language rather than understand it first must understand English. Or, more simply, knowing that 58 Knuts are 2 sickles is to make a simple conversion including arithmetic.
And it is here the question, because obviously all wizards and witches have knowledge of the subject, where and how they learn? In no book is specified anything about it, so you have to enter the realm of conjecture and assumptions.
Every young wizard or witch goes to Hogwarts at age eleven, and before that, there is no magic school, children attend schools for primary education muggles, or learn at home (the Weasley family was educated in the latter manner ). Those who meet the first case may come to know the basics of the subjects that are lacking in magic schools, but need some reinforcement, because if not practiced for a long time, memory fails. Educating poor magicians may be weaker, but are taught what is necessary to survive in society.
So far no problem. But what do we serve the basics if we want to work at Gringotts? We know we can, Bill Weasley is the example that confirms this, having an education "weak". Or be a teacher knowing little of the language?, Which also is a bit ridiculous.
Then, again, is this the same extracurricular Hogwarts? Perhaps a club, such as Trading Cards Collectors Famous Wizard?
It is feasible the idea that there is a sort of Slug Club (The Club of eminence), led by a teacher, you teach others, such as Severus Snape taught Occlumency Harry Potter (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix). Although it was something that Albus Dumbledore ordered do not see why a teacher can not take the initiative and educate students in non-magical, so they can blend into the Muggle world, or get a job that requires some In addition to screening requirements of Great Wisdom and Terrible Secret Invocations.
While all this speculation remains in the realm of hypothesis, there must be some sort of pure logic of special education issues, which, as noted, are not as muggles.

The beautiful actress Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley) and actors Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) attended the Reading Festival (which has nothing to do with reading) in England. For now, only two photographs where we can see Dan and Rupert, but surely we shall see new images.

Debate Topic: "Mirror, mirror ..."
I think it's time to leave alone the issue of souls for a while and devote ourselves to talk about issues less complex.
So today we will discuss on a theme derived from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. No doubt already suspect because of the title of the post that will deal with the so-called Mirror of Erised. This magical object so named because "Erised" is the word "I" but reversed. The investment is named, of course, that the images are reflected in the mirrors reversed manner, so that designation was correct JK Rowling's ingenious.
What does this Mirror of Erised?
Albus Dumbledore tells us:
"[...] It shows neither more nor less than the deepest and most desperate desire of our hearts. You [Harry Potter], who never met your family, view surrounding you. Ronald Weasley, who has always been overcome by his brothers, he is alone, the best of them. However, this mirror will not give us knowledge or truth. Some men are consumed with this, fascinated by what they saw, or were insane, not knowing if what it shows is real or even possible. "
We now know that this is not an ordinary mirror that reflects reality. You can fool our eyes, but deception always come from our heart. Well, we all have deep longings unfulfilled, not wanting what we have is our human nature. Regarding this, Dumbledore assures us:
"The happiest man on earth can use the Mirror of Erised like a normal mirror, that is, they will look and see exactly how it is."
As I said, the essence of our human personality will always want more and more ... But sometimes there is a desire to excel dramatically in some people, so that would give anything, risk their physical or mental health to achieve or simply dedicate the course of his life in the pursuit of that desire.
All the above have been preliminary to reach the question of our discussion:
What would Lord Voldemort in front of the Mirror of Erised?
Or put another way:
What is the deepest, most desperate desire of his heart?
No doubt that Tom Marvolo Riddle pursued many objectives. The domination of Muggles, the supremacy of "pure blood," prevent "dirty blood" to use the magic ... But I had a wish that was very intimate and it was responsible only to him immortality. He longed to live forever ... She did not care how they lived, not worried about his soul fragment, had no qualms about killing to achieve their goal. He feared death, cease to exist.
And if immortality was his greatest desire, then finding himself in front of the Mirror of Erised would have to see yourself watching the years, decades, centuries, millennia ... I would see how to around the ages passed, the different ages of humanity's future . How different cities and civilizations arose and how it decayed and were lost in oblivion, to birth new human societies and cultures, how it happened the seasons, how the climate changed and altered the Earth's geography. He would see how everything around mutated and transformed, but him. Because their desire was to stay alive forever.
Those who have seen the film The Time Machine, Simon Wells and starring Guy Pearce, know what I mean by "see the ages pass," because the protagonist encased in his time machine, "observes how humanity ends we know for a cataclysm, and how new civilizations arise after millennia ...
But this is my opinion, you can have another point of view. I invite you to try to enter the mind of the Dark Lord, who met in the books, trying to figure out what was really his greatest desire and speculating on what would have been as magical mirror.
It is better to be cute ... if you believe that what I really wanted was a family, then I would argue that Tom is bald in the mirror and his eyes red, but wearing a sweater with a big "R" on his chest hand-woven by Ms. Riddle.
They may support the theory that most pleases them or argue their own. You decide.
