Hobbitheads might be familiar with some of the wonderful tie-in books by Brian Sibley for Lord of the Rings or some of his other books. Now the author has been given HP access and will release a special keepsake book on the final Harry Potter film, Harry Potter Film Wizardry, that will include new forwards from director Chris Columbus and producer David Yates as well as at least a new interview with Emma Watson, Dan Radcliffe and more

Thanks very much, to the awesome SUE UPTON!

UPDATE: WB has asked us to remove the photos from the gallery, sorry guys!

Today (or tomorrow if the date hasn’t changed for you) is Fred and George Weasley’s 32nd birthday!

Sadly Fred passed away in 1997 and left George behind to keep the laughter going.  George married Angelina Johnson and has 2 children; Fred & Roxanne Weasley!

Also, don’t forget the 2 day sale that the Harry Potter shop is having to celebrate the occasion!

Bloomsbury’s Harry Potter website has been updated to show us that they have designed new covers for all the Harry Potter books and have entitled them “The Signature Look”.  How weird is it that the day after I post my cover redesigns that Bloomsbury releases their own!?

The new books will be released on November 1st, I know I will be purchasing them! According to The Bookseller:

The new “Signature” livery was created by Webb and Webb Design Limited, with illustrations by linocut artist Clare Melinsky on the front cover, back cover and spine, to “appeal to the next generation of readers who did not ‘grow up’ with Harry Potter and who have not yet experienced the thrill of life at Hogwarts”, according to the publisher.Melinsky said: “I was delighted and excited to be asked to illustrate the covers for such massively famous books—and seven of them! It was top secret for the best part of a year.”

Hey guys! As some of you know, I’m a Graphic Design major in college (graduating in May) so for my portfolio I decided to redesign the Harry Potter covers!  It took me a while but I finally finished!!!  Click the thumbnail below to see them all and make sure to tell me what you think!

You may have seen my post about an upcoming release of Harry Potter Power, a self help book. I received a copy and have written a small review on the book that you can read below.

Harry Potter Power is not your average self help book.  This book uses the themes, characters and situations from the Harry Potter series to help you become a better you!

The book is split into 6 different sections and in each section the author talks about different areas of life and how they can help us become more powerful: The Power of Tragedy; The Power of Thoughts; The Power of Action; The Power of Animals; The Power of Nature; The Greatest Power

Throughout the book there are also activities that you can do that will help you along the path to gaining more self power.  You answer questions, do word puzzles and more!

I even learned a few things about the Potterverse that I never knew before.  One example being that hippogriffs symbolize the fact that people can overcome impossible scenarios and come out for the better.  There are countless more little tidbits about the world of Harry Potter that even the craziest Potter fan, like me for example, will find interesting.

All in all this is a great resource for anyone who wants to improve their lives.
