The highly anticipated 2012 London Olympics kick off this Friday with the traditional opening ceremony. However, if recent rumors are true, this ceremony will be anything but traditional, instead featuring the evil man himself – Lord Voldemort – facing off against a rather unlikely foe… Mary Poppins!
The end of July brings many things; Daniel Radcliffe turns 23, Harry and Neville celebrate their 32nd birthdays, J.K. Rowling her 47th, and sadly, the end of our Wizarding World heroes cake decorating contest! Brought to you in part by Dinah Bucholz, author of the “The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook”, this contest promises to be our “sweetest” yet!
In this Pottermore Feature of the Week, we dive into the curriculum available to Hogwarts students as special information from author J.K. Rowling was revealed in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone on the interactive website.
A recent list of the 100 Most Valuable Movie Stars Today was released by Vulture.com, and Daniel Radcliffe – who portrayed the title character in all eight of the Harry Potter movies – came in at #14.
The list is based on a new proprietary algorithm that weighs such factors as box office, media coverage, reviews, and a Hollywood value dictated by a tribunal of studio execs.
Daniel Radcliffe was thrust into instant stardom when he was cast as the title character of the Harry Potter film franchise, a franchise that has gone on to become the most successful franchise in box office history. Today, the star of the film series turns 23 years old.
We have and will continue to see Dan rise and challenge himself in a large variety of roles both in films and on-stage productions. With incredible acting talent and a tremendous personality, the sky is the limit for the long time Harry Potter star.

The senseless tragedy has all of us reeling and in shock. Not that it should matter where the violence happened, but as fans, a midnight release is a place of celebration and safety. That such a thing was taken down adds to the magnitude of our emotional response.
As we mourn together, one of the HPA vloggers, Lauren Bird <a href="http://www.youtube.com/embed/CxW3GM5FrXY" target="_blank"articulates so much of what we are feeling as human beings and in particular as fans.
Today marks the five-year anniversary of the release of Deathly Hallows. It’s hard to imagine that so much time has passed since the final book dropped. Even though the final book and movie have already been released, over these years, Harry Potter has not come anywhere close to being “over.” From Pottermore, to real-life Quidditch, to conventions, there is plenty to keep the Potter fandom alive. For this reason, we choose to celebrate this five-year anniversary! Harry Potter lives!
We recently reported about an event on MuggleNet Interactive allowing you to record a video explaining how the Potter series has been kept alive for you these past five years. If you haven’t yet, you should check it out!
