Advert for Wizarding World of Harry Potter

In the Media - Online Articles

A special new advert for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is due to air during an advert break in an American sporting event, this Sunday.

I believe it is a match called The Super Bowl, or something like that, but the article does not specify which sport is involved.

Anyway, thanks to our friends at The Leaky, we know that the advert is available to view, on line, without having to find out which sport is involved.

It is up at WalletPop.com, and can be watched here.

Watch it, even if you don't like theme parks, for a tiny bonus surprise moment.

 

Feeling Romantic? Valentine's Day is Just Around the Corner

In the Media - Online Articles

In the Times, there is an article by Andrew Motion, ex Poet Laureate, on wooing with love poetry for Valentine's Day.

The Poetry Archive has compiled a collection of poems 'to enthral, entertain and beguile lovers everywhere. The idea is simple. You choose the reader and the poem you think is likely to have the desired effect on your beloved, then send it to his or her mobile phone.'

Why am I telling you this? Apart from the fact that I am an incurable romantic.

Because one of the poems you can send to your loved one is going to be Sonnet 130 by William Shakespeare, read by Daniel Radcliffe.

The poems will be available next week, and the full list is here.

My poor husband.

 

Dan and Emma Speak to Yahoo! Movies about Deathly Hallows

In the Media - Online Articles

Yahoo! UK & Ireland Movies has just posted a new 'sneak peek' article on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows online, and in it you will find  several comments made by both Dan and Emma:

Harry is like a Roman Emperor in his last days and everyone is turning on him," moaned Radcliffe. "Harry is completely paranoid about what Ron and Hermione are saying about him. He thinks they’re doubting his leadership, but while he is asking people that, he himself is doubting his leadership. He has no plan, so he is pretty useless.

Watson adds, "It's challenging in every way - physically, emotionally. They’re away from home. They’re isolated, they don’t have any news. They don’t know what they’re doing. They’re pulling at shreds. Dumbledore had hardly left them anything to go on.

Enjoy!

There is a small  feature on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in the lastest edition of Empire Magazine, and you can see a scan of it here, courtesy of Mugglenet. The page long article includes comments from Dan about the Seven Potter movie sequence:

It's the single most complicated sequence we've done in any of the films. Everyone's changing into me and nobody really knows what's going on. I'm dressed up as everyone else and they're dressing up as me, and, well, it's very confusing. 

I don't know about you, but I can't wait to see this particular scene in the movie. 7 x Harry = 7 x Dan... Sounds awfully good to me! 

The article also contains a few thoughts from Potter director  David Yates. Enjoy!
