Yesterday, we reported a story that appeared in The Sun regarding Helena Bonham Carter filming scenes as Bellatrix Lestrange for what they termed a “mini-movie” that would be shown in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme parks.
We previously reported that Harry Potter stars Dame Maggie Smith, who portrayed Professor McGonagall, and Sir Michael Gambon, who portrayed Albus Dumbledore, would be appearing in the new film Quartet. Though the film, which is a story about events at a home for retired opera singers, won’t be released until January, some lucky fans in the U.K. have an opportunity to see an early screening!
In support of those affected by Hurricane Sandy, Rupert Grint teamed up with RupertGrint.net and designed a print that fans can buy. The proceeds will go to the American Red Cross where they are helping with relief to those individuals affected.

Great news for blind or visually impaired Potter fans! The fifth book in the series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix has been formatted into Braille. The fifth book is the longest of the seven, and it might seem like a brick at 765 pages for the UK Edition, but printed in Braille, Order of the Phoenix is multiple volumes that reach two feet in height when stacked on top of each other.
The talented Potter star Dame Maggie Smith will be up for a few awards at the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards including Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress in a Drama Series. Smith will be recognized with nominations for her roles in both Downton Abbey and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. As both productions are also nominated for Best Ensemble Cast, she could pick up those awards as well.
The award season is just beginning and Emma Watson already grabs one for her trophy case, as she wins Best Supporting Actress for her role in Perks of Being A Wallflower from the San Diego Film Critic’s Society. Additionally, the film won the award for Best Ensemble Performance.
MuggleNet staff members were recently at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London: The Making of Harry Potter for a special event as the studio unveiled the Christmas decorations overnight as well as welcomed in the one millionth guest to the tour.
