This week's Quibble of the Week comes to us from Katy, whose essay focuses on an area of the series that is never short on mysteries. Katy's essay, entitled 'Secrets of the First Smashed Prophecy', poses the idea that one of the prophecies smashed during the climactic battle in the Department of Mysteries was actually relevant to the plot of the series.
They don't pay much attention to this prophecy, but the little that they do, it happens to reveal these enigmatic lines: "...at the Solstice will come a new... and none will come after..."
They seem like pretty unimportant lines, but a closer look may reveal something about the future of the Wizarding world.
Given the events surrounding this scene, these lines are often overlooked. Do you believe that this prophecy was actually telling of the past and future events of the series, as Katy believes?
To read more exciting and interesting quibbles like this one, or to learn how you can submit one of your own, head over to the MuggleNet Essay Section.

Two favorite actors from the Harry Potter films have recently been associated with two new filming projects.
Alan Rickman, known for the role of Severus Snape, will take on the part of Hilly Kristal in a rock 'n' roll flick. The story is based on the owner and founder of the legendary CBGB club in New York, where bands such as Green Day, Bruce Springsteen, The Police, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Soul Asylum once played. The film does not yet have a title and will begin shooting this June.
Additionally, Daniel Radcliffe has been mentioned as possibly joining Guillermo del Toro's (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy) new stop-motion Pinocchio film, set to release in 2014. Though no one has signed onto the film yet, del Toro stated Radcliffe asked to be a part of the project.
We look forward to these new films from two of our favorite actors!
Thanks to Savannah Morning News and Moviehole for the tips!

We reported yesterday about the announcement of The Woman in Black Blu-ray/DVD release date being set for June 18th in the UK. We also reminded readers that the US release date is slated for next Tuesday, May 22nd. However, we can now report that the movie is available exclusively on iTunes if you simply cannot wait until then.
Head on over to the iTunes Store right here, and you can purchase the film for only $14.99.
The story follows a young lawyer, Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe), who is ordered to travel to a remote village and sort out a recently deceased client’s papers. As he works alone in the client’s isolated house, Kipps begins to uncover tragic secrets, his unease growing when he glimpses a mysterious woman dressed only in black. Receiving only silence from the locals, Kipps is forced to uncover the true identity of the Woman in Black on his own, leading to a desperate race against time when he discovers her true intent.
The Woman in Black is the most successful British horror film of all time. Will you be getting it today via iTunes or waiting for it to come out on Blu-ray/DVD? Let us know in the comments below.
