Jo's official website has been updated with a new featured wizard. Thanks to everyone who e-mailed with the tip!

JK Rowling updated her site today with news that she now has a third title for Book 7. Jo also discusses her progress with the seventh book in the past week.

I've now got a third title. I've been thinking back, and I know that I've had more titles than this for a couple of the previous books, so I'm not too worried by this. Title three currently ahead by a short nose, or perhaps that should be a vowel and two consonants.

I've just had a great writing week. There are few feelings more joyous than reading back over the week's work and thinking 'that's not bad at all', as opposed to the all-too-frequent, 'it's rubbish, I've wasted a week and I'll have to re-write the lot.' And if you think that's an exaggeration or false modesty, you are very, very wrong. It's perfectly possible to put in eight hour days and have nothing to show for them but a single idea that, if reworked completely, might be passable.

UPDATE: We missed this one earlier. The Extras section has also been updated with a page explaining spells, charms, hexes, jinxes, and curses.

It's every witch's and wizard's favorite day of the year, and we hope you have a good one! MuggleNetters Rachel and Laura are already getting in the Harry Potter/Halloween spirit, and emailed in this very cool Darkmark they created.

JK Rowling has updated her site in order to wish Molly Weasley a happy birthday.

"We Love The Royle Family Sun," a special program about the The Royle Family sitcom, will air tonight at 10 on BBC 1, and Jo Rowling is set to make a guest appearance. JK, along with a number of other celebrities, will recollect their favorite moments from the series. We will have a video online shortly afterwards.

Thanks to DizzyHeights and Esther for the info!

UPDATE (and now working): Thanks to Nick, we now have video from Jo's appearance on the show available for download. Caution to parents: Jo does use one word that may not be appropriate for younger viewers.

Empire magazine's latest edition included a three-page spread on the Order of the Phoenix movie, where director David Yates spoke about the length of the film. "The book's huge, but it actually distills quite easily. That said, I've shot a movie that's probably over three hours, so I'll have to lose 45 minutes in the edit."

Also, Imelda Staunton (Umbridge) has been trying for some time to get involved in the franchise and joked: "Well, actually I was rather insulted they'd never asked."

Finally, producer David Heyman praised Evanna Lynch as Luna: "She's an obsessive Potter fan who'd actually had correspondence with Jo Rowling. When she was cast Jo rang me up because she just couldn't believe it - from her letters she said, 'She is Luna.'"

You can view scans of this spread here, thanks to reader Elle!

As All Hallow's Eve approaches, you can now view MuggleNet Halloween-style. After all, we do Halloween every day of the year.

Finally, our fully-customizable Order of the Phoenix countdown is now available. You can change the countdown to your country's release date. We will be adding more countries and dates as they become available. If you've added the countdown to your desktop and no longer wish to use it, instructions for removal are available here.

ABC will be airing Prisoner of Azkaban tonight at 8 PM EST. The movie will also air in HD for those of you who have high-definition televisions. Thanks to everyone who e-mailed!

The fourth Potter film has received two nominations, Best Feature Film and Bafta Kids' Vote, in this year's children's Bafta Awards. The awards ceremony will take place on November 26th in London. Thanks to everyone who wrote in.

Jo Rowling recently donated a new, autographed copy of Half-Blood Prince to the Helen Ritson Trust Fund, a charity that benefits underprivileged children. You can now bid for the book on eBay, but note that the auction will close in three days.

As a special birthday treat for JK Rowling, South American fan site HPLA gathered money from hundreds of Latin American fans in order to send Jo a bunch of roses and teddy bears. JK later responded in a letter, thanking them for the gifts, as well as shedding light on her motives for giving Harry a July 31st birthday.

When I chose to give Harry my own birthday, I did it with a wry smile to myself. I had no idea, at that time, that I would ever be published, so it was a very private act! But I had always felt slightly cheated that nobody really famous shared my birthday, so I gave myself this (wizard) world world famous boy as a kind of birthday brother. The wonderful side-effect, all these years later, is letters like yours. I could never have imagined it, and it all seems slightly surreal, still!

A scan of the letter can be viewed here. Thanks to Vale of HPLA for the tip!

The fabled Department of Mysteries has proven to be, well, a mystery. Join MuggleCasters Andrew, Laura, Eric, Kevin and me as we attempt to unravel these mysteries and discuss the complexeties of love. We also bring back our debate segment as Eric faces off against Andrew and Laura over the issue of allowing underage magic. This episode is packed with content and spans over one hour and 30 minutes, making it one of our longest episodes to date.

RealMovieNews has just posted 13 new set pictures from today's filming of Order of the Phoenix.

The weekly US magazine has two new articles focusing around Dan as an actor and how his life has been affected by the Potter films:

You've been playing Harry for six years now. Are you still enjoying it?
This film has been the most fun I've had, definitely, partly because of Imelda Staunton [who plays Harry's nemesis, Professor Dolores Umbridge], and partly because of David Yates, our wonderful director, who I have had absolutely the time of my life working with. He pushes me farther and more often than I ever have been before. This is not being detrimental to any of the previous directors because I wouldn't have been able to do this before, but David has caught me at just the right moment.

You can read the entire Q&A with Dan on Newsweek's website, which is noted as a "Web Exclusive." This most likely means that the interview will not be in the October 30th issue. This separate article about Dan, however, will be printed. Thanks to everyone who e-mailed with the tip!

Today, London's Westminster Underground station was temporarily closed to allow for Order of the Phoenix filming. An article by Yahoo! notes that the scene being filmed was probably where Mr. Weasley escorts Harry to the disciplinary hearing at the Ministry.

A London transport spokeswoman commented: "Planned closures are timed to cause minimum disruption to passengers and commercial requests such as this are subject to an agreed fee. There has been advanced publicity in the area to warn passengers of any potential disruption to their journey."

UPDATE: Photos from today's filming, which included shooting of the scene where Harry and Arthur enter the Ministry phone booth, have just Apparated online. Thanks to LTT via UHP!

MuggleNet has been nominated in CBBC's category for favorite website, up against Disney, Neopets, and others. Let's show them who's boss - go vote!

EDIT: The MuggleNet army reigns supreme again. Good work, guys!

Using technology designed to make solid objects vanish from sight, a team of US and British scientists have built the world's first cloaking device. It works like a mirage, where heat causes the bending of light rays and cloaks the road ahead behind an image of the sky.

However, David Smith, who led the experiments, said: "It's not yet clear that you're going to get the invisibility that everyone thinks about with Harry Potter's cloak or the Star Trek cloaking device."

"The cloak reduces both an object's reflection and its shadow, either of which would enable its detection."

The American Library Association is asking teens to vote this week for their three favorite books, with ALA subsequently posting the top 10. Half-Blood Prince is among those nominated, and you can vote here. Thanks to Kelly for the tip!

HP4U.co.uk has released a new report after visiting the Order of the Phoenix set recently. The crew was in the process of shooting scenes involving Thestrals, Hogsmeade Station, and the Hogwarts Express. Filming was located at Black Park in Buckinghamshire, England. Thanks to everyone who e-mailed with the tip!

In a new interview, actor Rupert Grint spoke a little about the fifth Harry Potter movie, saying they have about a month of filming remaining. He also mentioned a Christmas scene with the Weasleys that he enjoyed, and touched on the topic of a director for HBP, noting rumors that Alfonso Cuaron or Chris Columbus may return for the film.

A report yesterday stated that JK Rowling signed a letter of intent to Disney concerning plans for a Harry Potter theme park. Today, a representative for Jo informed us that there is no truth to this.

JKR.com has been updated to wish the Charms professor and Ravenclaw Head of House a happy birthday.

Terry Gilliam, the acclaimed director Warner Bros. turned down for Sorcerer's Stone, said in a new interview that he has no intention to direct either Movie 6 or 7, debunking previous rumors that he would. "Warner Bros. had their chance the first time around, and they blew it. It's a factory job, that's what it is, and I know the way it's done. I've had too many friends work on those movies. I know the way it works, and that's not the way I work."

Gilliam went on to discuss what his Potter movie would have been like:

"Alfonso Cuaron's [Prisoner of Azkaban] is really good, but the first two I thought were just bad. They missed the whole point of it; they missed the magic of it... Alfonso did something much closer to what I would've done."

After months of negotiations, JK Rowling has, according to a new report, signed a letter of intent to the Walt Disney Company allowing them to carry out preliminary construction on a theme park with Harry Potter characters. Although a letter of intent isn't legally-binding, it is "a serious intent to carry out certain business activities." The company is hoping for a definitive response from Jo on the situation by next summer.

NOTE: The article lists the Book 7 release date as July 7th, 2007. Again, this is purely speculation and the date has yet to be announced.

Another episode of our weekly Harry Potter podcast has just been released! Join Jamie, Laura, Kevin, Micah and myself for some great discussion on time travel:

- What kind of control does the Ministry have over it?
- Can anyone with the right tools change time?
- Is the Time-turner the only device that can affect time?
- Will time play a role in Book 7?
- Why is it so important that you are not seen when traveling back in time?

All that and more can be found by downloading the show on the MuggleCast portion of this site. For an easy listening experience, we recommend subscribing for free through iTunes. Each week the show will automatically download to your computer almost as soon as its released.

On top of this, our much-anticipated (and belated) Episode 57 finally made its debut on Friday night. In this show, available through the regular sources, our main discussion is Aunt Petunia. We hope you enjoy this double shot of MuggleCast this weekend!

A recent breakthrough in film technology, developed by Image Metrics, allows a computer to map an actor's performance onto any character virtual or human, living or dead. The developers say it is far superior to standard hand-drawn computer graphics which are very costly and time-consuming.

The chairman of Image Metrics commented: "One of our principal tenets is to capture all the movements of the face. You can't put markers on eyes, and you can't replicate the human eye accurately through hand-drawn animation. That's pretty important."

Warner Bros. will use this technology in the depiction of Grawp (played by Tony Maudsley) in Movie 5, which will surely bring Hagrid's giant half-brother to life.

Additional information has emerged today on Daniel Radcliffe's appearance as Alan Strang in the London West End play, "Equus." Apparently, 60 audience members will be seated on the stage itself - to be the most sought-after seats in London - with the rest in the stalls and circle. The play (written by Peter Shaffer) will run in the round for 16 weeks; previews will begin on February 16th and the official opening is scheduled for the 27th. Rehearsals will commence on January 3rd.

A new report from the fifth Potter movie set has just surfaced online, and although it isn't very detailed, it does contain some interesting points of information. Here is yet another positive remark on this film's director:

Director David Yates is such a perfectionist that he did so many takes of one scene involving Harry and his "Dumbledore's Army." By the day's end, we could recite all the lines in this scene - and in the voices of the cast.

In addition, the article includes some quotes from Katie Leung: "I feel that I'm very lucky to be chosen out of so many girls." She went on to discuss the kiss with Dan. "Yes, Daniel is a very good kisser. Yeah, I really enjoyed it."

While in New York City for the premiere of his new film, Driving Lessons, Rupert Grint sat down for a chat with AM New York, where he discussed the movie as well as filming on OOTP. He said they shot the Thestral scenes recently and that "it was really a good time because they had to make a mold, a specially made harness that goes under your legs, because in the film it has to be invisible. They put you on this crane and lifted you up in the air. That's been my favorite scene so far."

Rupert also talked about a scene the producers attempted involving spiders. "They were going to put in a scene where a spider comes down on my leg while I'm hiding under a tree, and they were going to use a real spider. So they were doing tests with different spiders [baby tarantulas], letting them crawl on my leg. They ended up cutting it because I couldn't really deal with it."

Designer Dermot Power has added some of the concept art he produced for the Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban, and Goblet of Fire movies to his official website. They include very interesting and beautifully-drawn film visuals, props, as well as creatures and characters.

Later this month, we'll be working with Electronic Arts to answer your questions about the upcoming Order of the Phoenix video game. Those of you who listen to MuggleCast know we announced in our latest show that the creators of the game will be on the podcast to take your calls. We'd now like to extend the opportunity to visitors of MuggleNet.

If you have a question that you want answered, now's your chance! Visit this page on the MuggleCast site for more information. We'll be accepting questions now through October 15th, so get your questions in soon!

Last month we showed you the new cover for Quidditch Through the Ages, included in the Harry Potter Schoolbooks Box Set along with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Now, the cover for the latter has emerged online. Both books benefit UK charity Comic Relief and can be purchased on Amazon.com.

The Official Harry Potter Newsletter has just been mailed out to subscribers. In it, we've learned that the first theatrical teaser trailer for Order of the Phoenix will be released Friday, November 17th in front of the WB film Happy Feet.

The newsletter emphasized that the trailer will only be seen in theatres, so do not expect it to be online immediately.

In the latest edition of French magazine "Sud Pep's," there is a report on the Order of the Phoenix movie set which features interesting blurbs on the sets and various scenes being shot.

One crew member explained that because the props have to be used over and over, only very durable ones are purchased; as such, nothing is ever thrown away. Also, like the last name of the owner, the interior of Grimmauld Place is described as completely black.

Finally, the article details a poignant scene in which Harry is sitting alone and crying with the wind in his face, presumably shortly after Sirius' demise. In relation to this scene, a reliable source has informed us that Dan listened to depressing music for several days to prepare himself emotionally for this and for a number of other scenes. Thanks to UHP for the tip!

Last year we reported that a commemorative plaque was to be erected just outside the cafe in which JK Rowling wrote most of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. This was recently completed, and The Scotsman has released details (including a small photo) on its installation.

Thanks, Leaky.

Following the release of the sixth Harry Potter book, rumors have been abuzz concerning the identity of RAB, the mysterious character who left a note in the cave in the novel's closing chapters. So far, JK has remained relatively tight-lipped on the subject, although she said Regulus Black, Sirius' brother, was a "fine guess" in the MN/TLC interview last summer. Subsequently, (highlight)-->"Arcturus"<-- was suggested by fans as the late Death Eater's middle name after the name of a certain star.

Now, the Portuguese HP translator, Isabel Nunes, has reportedly confirmed this in an interview with a Portuguese fan site. Apparently, before Book 6 hit shelves, she contacted Jo about the character's gender, and was told the full name as well as the gender. Her reason for shedding light on the topic at this point is to "keep awake" the excitement for the seventh book. In the past, Nunes also clarified that Blaise Zabini is a man and Professor Sinistra is a woman.

EDIT: Some readers have written in letting us know that the interview where Nunes said this was conducted last November - you can see it here, page 15. Also, according to commenter Ismara, "A translator doesn't have to sign a contract of confidentiality... Translators can share that type of information as long as it's public. If JKR told her the middle name and the gender, it's public information." Jo hasn't confirmed or denied this - let's hope she doesn't so as to leave room for more conjecture - but take that for what you will!

After three weeks of poor excuses, audio glitches, winning awards, and bad puns, MuggleCast finally returns with a new episode. This isn't just any old welcome back episode either. We have a very lengthy discussion on the Veil, announce an upcoming interview with the fine folks at EA, and attempt to call the attention-seeking Laura Mallory for comment on her appeal.

To download, you can visit the all-new MuggleCast website for direct download links and show notes. You can also subscribe (for free) in iTunes right here. Over at the MuggleCast portion of the site you can also access a low-bandwidth version of the show lots of other information. Enjoy!

Toby Jones, the man who voiced Dobby in the the second Potter flick, recently told MTV that the ex-house-elf won't be making an appearance in Film 5, although Kreacher will.

"I know that the filmmakers have a problem with each new film because the books are getting longer - there's so much to include in them," Jones remarked.

While Dobby's absence will not shock fans who have been following the films closely, it does open up some plot questions. In the book, it is Dobby who both divulges to Harry the secret of the Room of Requirement (where Harry and the other members of "Dumbledore's Army" meet to practice forbidden defensive spells), and materializes to warn Harry that his secret hideout is no longer safe from the prowling eyes of the increasingly powerful Ministry of Magic informant (and new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher), Dolores Umbridge. With Dobby's absence, it is unclear how these matters will be handled in the film.

I wouldn't worry - the producers have always found other, plausible ways to fill in gaps after cutting scenes or characters. Thanks to everyone who emailed!

JK Rowling's official website has been updated with everyone's test results from last week's second round of WOMBATs. Just click the WOMBAT card on Jo's desk and enter your student ID to see how well you did.

We reported previously on the Georgian mother, Laura Mallory, who campaigned for the Harry Potter books to be removed from Gwinnett County school libraries because, fundamentally, they "promote and glorify witchcraft." Following a public hearing to discuss the matter in April - in which the support for the novels staying put was predictably strong - the Gwinnett Board of Education ruled the books would remain on shelves.

Mallory, unsatisfied with the outcome, appealed the decision and a second hearing was held yesterday. Mallory rehashed her previous points regarding why the books should go, saying "Witchcraft is being mainstreamed to our kids today but people are not aware of it. They think these books are fantasies but Wicca is a real recognized religion."

Gwinnett County Schools attorney Victoria Sweeny says that under Mallory's reasoning, school bookshelves could become virtually empty, as she began to list many other stories with witches as characters, including Macbeth and Sleeping Beauty.

The website for upcoming movie The History Boys includes a piece on Daniel Radcliffe (in the History section) where he discusses how his tutor for the Potter movies inspired him and helped boost his confidence over the past six years.

"Before I started playing Harry Potter I attended a London prep school which was not a happy experience. I left it to play Harry with my confidence at rock bottom and the belief in my ability at absolute zero. However, on HP I was tutored by an astonishing woman called Lina Wright. Over a period of six years she (with the support of City of London School) has built my confidence and given me a love of learning which I am certain will never leave me..."

The mysterious door in the Room of Requirement has once again closed on JKRowling.com. Additionally, the clock in the WOMBAT room now says that tests are in the process of being graded. Thanks to everyone who e-mailed!

As part of Banned Books Week (held last week to raise awareness of books that have been challenged in communities across the US), the American Library Association asked 5,000 people what their favorite banned book was. Unsurprisingly, the Potter series came out on top. To Kill A Mockingbird and James and the Giant Peach came in second and third place, respectively.

We're proud to announce that MuggleCast won the top prize at the 2006 Podcast Awards last Friday. The Peoples Choice category was awarded to our Harry Potter podcast after receiving over 100,000 votes from listeners and fans. Thanks to everyone who provided their support through the entire voting process, including our friends at PotterCast who we teamed up with! We'll talk more about the win on episode 58 of MuggleCast.

Now begs the question: Where's MuggleCast #57? It was recorded nearly two weeks ago right before our trip to California. Unfortunately, the show didn't go too smoothly. In fact, the audio decided it didn't want to cooperate either. The combination of the two made for a difficult release, especially since we were busy getting ready for the trip. Now we're busy making up a week's worth of school work, so there's no time to fix it.

So, what are we going to do? MuggleCast #57 is going to stay unreleased for a few weeks until we can fix all of its issues. In the mean time, we'll be recording our 58th show this week, and that will be released this Sunday. To make it up to everyone, we promise that #58 will be a doozy of a show. So much so, you might want to have a spare pair of pants standing by. We'll see everyone this Sunday!

In other news, the live Leaky Mug from California is now available for download! Join the MuggleCasters, along with our friends at PotterCast, for some Potter podcasting fun. You can subscribe right here in iTunes or direct download at this link. The show was recorded at the Borders of Westwood in Los Angeles, California on September 28th. Special thanks goes to our audio guy Chris who provided a flawless setup, and Borders for a fantastic job handling the event!

In a new interview, the Mrs. Weasley actress discusses HP 5's director and explains how he captures the emotional depth of the book, and the atmosphere he creates on-set.

"He's very unassuming; they were in a way, Alfonso was, but he's fantastic. [David] is very into the emotional truth of it, the kids absolutely love it; he's very sweet and kind, and very, very into the story like a child is. And he's really into the emotional depths, and he's really fantastic, he's a lovely man."
