After the initial wave of what we’ll call intensity had passed, I started to think about what this would really mean for my understanding of the “Potter” series. Would I really learn anything? Wasn’t “Fantastic Beasts” just a small, 54-page guide to the magical beasts found in the wizarding world? How would this be applicable to my already-existing knowledge of “Harry Potter,” if at all? And what the heck is an Acromantula?!
We teased that Bloomsbury would be releasing Jonny Duddle’s new cover for “Chamber of Secrets” today, and it’s finally here!
As excitement builds for “Fantastic Beasts” I’m wary of a new film without Harry. Cue this list of Gryffindor-worthy heroes to fill the void.
Warwick Davis (Professor Flitwick/Griphook) has been busy recently. Only this weekend he appeared at the second 2014 “Star Wars” Weekend, where he appeared alongside other “Star Wars” cast members Jeremy Bulloch and Tiya Sircar. There has been plenty of talk about “Star Wars” recently, with the announcement of the cast for “Star Wars: Episode VII” made last month. Warwick has spoken now about how much he would like to be involved with the new “Star Wars” films.
This week’s fan of the week is Olivia, a 20-year-old from the United States of America.
From the meeting of Lily and Lucius to a cracking Warwick selfie, in the latest Twitter roundup. Check it out now!
We posted only recently that Alfonso Cuarón was rumored to direct the upcoming “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” film. Nikki Finke suggested on Twitter that Alfonso was in talks to direct the film, which sent fans into a frenzy.
However, a new article today states that Alfonso is NOT looking for any new projects at the moment.
Timothy Spall (Wormtail) was surprised this week when he was named Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival. Although Spall has previously been nominated for BAFTAS, he has always missed out. Congratulations!
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s a… DRAGON?! That’s right, the Gringotts dragon has now been installed into the Diagon Alley expansion of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando!
