While we’re all still pondering yesterday’s rumor that Sinéad Matthews has joined the cast of “Fantastic Beasts”, we’ve got our next official cast announcement! Jane Perry, best known for her work in “World War Z” and “The Three Musketeers”, will play an as-yet-unknown role in the film, as announced on Twitter today by Olivia Bell Management. What’s more – she’s already at work on the film!
Summer is almost over… and that means it’s almost time for the Back to School event at the London Studio Tour! Starting September 10 and running through September 20, the return of this popular feature will allow visitors to take part in design and story-boarding workshops.
In the time since it was confirmed that the title of the upcoming stage play would be “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” we’ve heard a bit from director John Tiffany about his involvement with the play, and now a new interview from the “Times” gives us a peek into “Cursed Child” playwright Jack Thorne’s process!
It’s an exciting time to be a “Harry Potter” fan! With most of the main cast of “Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them” announced, filming is sure to be getting underway very soon. In the meantime, “Fantastic Beasts” cast members seem almost as excited as the fans are that this is all really happening!
It’s been an exciting day in the “Harry Potter” fandom; Warner Bros. hosted an open casting call in London for “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”. They were looking for Modesty, a “haunted” 8-12-year-old girl with “an inner strength and stillness. She has an ability to see deep into people and understand them.” In all likelihood, they found Modesty today among the thousands of hopefuls who turned up to audition.
The fandom is still abuzz over last week’s revelation that the “Harry Potter” stage play, originally announced in 2013, was going to be called “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.” Now, collaborator and director John Tiffany has given his first interview about what it’s like to be a part of such a highly anticipated production – and tells how he met J.K. Rowling 20 years ago when she was still writing the first “Harry Potter” book.
As all “Harry Potter” fans know, there are many people who helped to make our beloved book series a reality. Not just J.K. Rowling herself, or the talented artists who illustrated those original covers, but also editors, publicists, agents, sales reps, and so many others who believed in Harry just as much as we did. We have recently lost one of those remarkable people – Susan Jeffers Casel, who was a copy editor for the US editions of the books.
It’s been over a year and a half since J.K. Rowling confirmed that there would be a “Harry Potter” stage play, and it looks like there just might finally be some news about what the play will be called – and what it will entail.
Spanish Publishers, in conjunction with Ediciones Salamandra, has just this month released new Spanish-language editions of all seven “Harry Potter” books.
