Author J.K. Rowling is continuing to post new writing for Pottermore, the digital platform for “Harry Potter”, with a series of “live” reports from the 2014 Quidditch World Cup, to be released on Pottermore.com starting today.
According to a new article as well as IMDb, there is speculation about a new film, which also includes the rumor that Rupert Grint – who portrayed Ronald Weasley in the “Harry Potter” films – will have a starring role.
In this edition of Casting News, Dobby takes a job with the Stoke City Football Club, Wormtail becomes a sucker, Dolores Umbridge takes center stage in two theater productions, and Gary Oldman talks our ears off without saying anything.
Rupert Grint has been named an ambassador for the Starlight Children’s Foundation, an organization similar to Make-A-Wish that grants wishes to seriously and terminally ill children.
In a recent interview, Bonnie Wright – who portrayed Ginny Weasley in the “Potter” films – was questioned about the upcoming “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” movie based on the book by Newt Scamander. She also spoke about the out-of-context comments from Rowling regarding her thoughts on which character Hermione should have ended up with.
“Postman Pat: The Movie” is a new film starring Potter-alumni Jim Broadbent, Rupert Grint, and David Tennant – who portrayed Professor Slughorn, Ron Weasley, and Barty Crouch, Jr., respectively – and is due to be released on May 23. Recently, however, RadioTimes.com released some exclusive images for the film.
We all know Professor Trelawney by her crazy predictions, mind-numbing lectures, and frizzy hair. But is she as loony as we think?
Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley) is just one of many celebrities and thousands of people around the world who’s backing and taking part in “Live Below the Line,” a campaign run by the Global Poverty Project. The idea of said campaign is to raise awareness of poverty by living off of “$1.50 of food and drink for one to five days.” The challenge will run between the dates of April 28 to May 2.
