It’s still a few more months until the 20th anniversary of the US publication of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”, but Scholastic already has celebrations underway, including last week at BookExpo and BookCon in New York City.
The beloved actor portrayed Griphook the goblin in “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”.
First mentioned in “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”, the 12 uses of dragon’s blood remain a mystery to this day. Will we learn what some or all of these uses are in “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” and future “Fantastic Beasts” films?
We are sad to report that actor Terence Bayler, who portrayed the Bloody Baron in “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”, passed away last month at the age of 86.
Sideshow Collectibles has announced that they will be releasing a brand new Hermione Granger figure. The figure will be based on Emma Watson’s Hermione, as see in the penultimate scenes of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”, when the trio heads to the third floor to save the Sorcerer’s Stone from You-Know-Who.
As previously reported, for one week only (May 27-June 6), Studio Tour visitors will have the rare opportunity to walk through the front door of Number Four, Privet Drive and look into the Dursleys’ front room. There they will find hundreds of Harry’s Hogwarts letters, created by MinaLima, suspended in the air as though they’ve flown through the fireplace as they famously did in “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”.
The one and only Zoë Wanamaker, who played the role of Madam Hooch in “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”, is returning to the West End to star in the upcoming productions of “All on Her Own” and “Harlequinade”.
