During our interview with Harry Potter producer David Heyman on Episode 200 of MuggleCast (released Wednesday), David confirmed that they have nailed down their split point. Significant, given that we've heard over the past year that they have been toying with several different ideas while filming. Additionally, he gave new insight into how they made their decision:
The script [for Part 1] was written with an end in mind. The first draft was written with one ending and as we developed it, it went to another ending. And then we reverted in part to the original ending because we felt it allowed us a more emotional conclusion and felt like it was more complete, as it were. But we've added this other scene which I think is really amazing - and I can't tell you where the break is, I'm sorry - but I do feel it will be incredibly dramatic, very moving and make people want to watch the next film.
What do you think of this "other scene"? What could it be and where do you believe the film will be split?

In case you didn't realize it by now, we decided to spend the day coming up with lots of fun news stories that could probably happen in the Wizarding World (Yes, including sex scandals, alcohol abuse, and steroid use). Thanks goes out to Emerson, Micah, and Matt for writing these stories.
Also, for all of you MuggleCast listeners, the announcement that we'd be putting Twilight, Lord of the Rings, and Narnia discussions into our show was a prank. We fooled lots of you, and we feel bad for those people who e-mailed us lengthly explanations for why it was a really good/bad idea. We'd NEVER bore you with those other books.
We hope you enjoyed all of the stories for this year's April Fools, not to mention Fred and George's birthday!

With Half-Blood Prince premiering this Fall and a two part Deathly Hallows film scheduled to be released by 2011, Warner Brothers has announced today that JK Rowling's upcoming Harry Potter Encyclopedia is in the works to become a possible three season animated series. Producer David Heyman noted, "We have one last opportunity to do Potter justice, and we are going to spend plenty of time on this one to make sure we leave this franchise satisfied. We chose animation to keep the Wizarding World just as limitless as in the books."
The WB publicity department was quick to note that this is not one last money making opportunity. Rather, the movie studio is very well aware that fans will not be ready to give up Potter once the second part of Deathly Hallows is released. "With that in mind," notes one publicist (name not given), "we want everyone to get a Potter filling for years to come."
While no details are official, insiders tell us the series will be a collage of scenes inspired by facts revealed in Rowling's Encyclopedia. Season 1 is slated to be released between late 2012 and early 2013.

After retiring from the world of Quidditch as one of most respected and celebrated players in the history of the sport, Ginny Weasley has written a book exposing the rampant use of wizarding growth hormone in the professional Quidditch world.
She gave us a sneak peak at the tell-all exposé:
"WGH is being used to strengthen beaters so they have a better aim at their targets and make sure they take a good fall. Widespread WGH use is responsible for the increasing rate and horrifying severity of injuries sustained on the field."
When asked if any well-known professional Quidditch players are implicated in the scandal, Weasley, the Daily Prophet's Senior Wizarding Sports Correspondent, remains conspiscuously silent, promising only to expect surprises.

The younger brother of world-renowned wizard Albus Dumbledore was arrested this morning outside the Hog’s Head for his involvement in an underground illegal goat trafficking ring. Madam Rosmerta noticed an alarming number of goats walking limply around Hogsmeade one afternoon and decided to alert the Ministry.
It was later discovered that the goats who failed to show Aberforth considerable attention were fated to enter an outside pen, which served a holding area until they were taken underground at night and had various charms performed on them. The Ministry seized what looked to be plans for an undeground goat fighting league. A rather irritated Aberforth said it was his way of showing them "tough love" and the animals spoke to him in a way humans never could.
