Thanks Leaky!

Finally, thanks to my friend Wes (who asked why I didn’t have a countdown for OotP and DH), I figured out how to get two countdowns to work on the same page! So now there is a countdown to OotP and DH!
YAY!
Thanks Wes!

UPDATE: Hmm…for some reason I can’t get both countdowns to work on the 9th Layout (the one with Harry and Voldemort and the moving light). So until I figure it out that one will just have the Deathly Hallows countdown.

In a new article by Time Magazine, Movie Villains: So Bad They’re Good, Dolores Umbridge is mentioned:

As Dolores Umbridge, the bureaucrat from the Ministry of Magic in this summer’s Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Imelda Staunton is a little bit priestess, a little bit villainous. Staunton, the latest in a line of top British thespians to visit Hogwart’s, found it a tough balancing act: “The character has to be ridiculous and yet real and frightening. She has to be silly and yet not cartoony. It’s difficult to gauge.” The performance and the couture established an ostensibly soft side to Dolores. “She wears cardigans and pinks. She threatens, but if you don’t listen to the words it’s just a pleasant sound. She’s gentle and pleasing. If she seemed hard, there would be no surprises.”

Thanks HPANA
