In anticipation of its 36-page feature on “Harry Potter”, “Empire Magazine” continues to release written and video interviews online.
Tonight, they have released a letter from Alan Rickman, the actor plays Professor Severus Snape, to author J.K. Rowling.
The UK publisher of the “Harry Potter” books is looking to find out which character is most popular worldwide, and author J.K. Rowling has chimed in to help get the campaign going.
J.K. Rowling has revealed her apprehension at handing the keyboard over to screenwriter Steve Kloves for the movie adaptation of her magical world.

Author J.K. Rowling has donated £50,000 (~$82,000) to help victims of child slavery. The donation will fund the Centre of Hope in the Philippines, a refuge for victims of people trafficking.
A few days ago we showed you amateur video of filming for Strange Magic, an unauthorized biopic about J.K. Rowling.
Now Access Hollywood has a video report up from the set. In the package you see the cast and crew filming what’s sure to be a controversial scene: the J.K. Rowling character enters a bar and catches her first husband speaking with another woman.
Back in February, we reported that a movie about the life of J.K. Rowling would be shot in Victoria (Canada) this month.
Well now, thanks to MuggleNet reader Mike, we have a behind-the-scenes look at some of the filming. The video appears to showcase Rowling having a moment of inspiration while walking to the coffee shop.
On September 25, we told you about Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling establishing a Twitter account. Her first words explained her motivations (to rule out some impersonators) and her second words cautioned, “although I could twitter endlessly, I’m afraid you won’t be hearing from me very often……….”
Five months later, J.K. Rowling’s sixth tweet has hit the Internet. It is (word for word) a re-make of her last tweet, with the exception of the word “still” in capital letters.
You may remember last year we heard from London Mayor Boris Johnson, who couldn’t understand why they put a Harry Potter theme park in Orlando, Florida before his home country.
While J.K. Rowling does not have as strong an opinion as the Mayor, last night she briefly told Digital Spy she’d love to see one in the United Kingdom.
Today the British Academy of Film and Television Arts issued this press release noting the Harry Potter franchise received a Honorary BAFTA.
