Today I recieved an email from Harry Potter Slovenija asking me to post about their problems with translator.

While the rest of the world eagerly awaits the last book in Harry Potter series, the Slovenian fans are worried. After the highly unpleasant experience with the translation of the Half-Blood Prince, we are afraid this might repeat with the final book, and much will get lost in translation again.

Seventeen Magazine’s June issue has an article called “Where the boys are” (page 91).  They take celebrities and tell you where to find them in real life. Daniel Radcliffe is among the other stars in the article it says:

Daniel Radcliffe Imagine you’re the one Harry is kissing in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (out on July 13).

Find your own Daniel … at a guitar store. When he’s not in character, Daniel likes to jam on his bass guitar.

Helena Bonham-Carter has done a new interview where she mentions filming Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

“I had five lines in that,” she says. “I think they cut three of them – and I was there for six weeks. I don’t know quite how, still, to this day, I was there for that long. It really is 90 per cent waiting. I mean, nice waiting – waiting’s OK if you’ve got a trailer. I just sleep. I’m a very good sleeper. And it is quite amazing to meet all these oldu2026” she pauses, giggling. “It’s like a rest-home for British Equity, and we’re all lying around and chatting. You can’t look to huge job satisfaction, but it’s nice to be part of it. And,” she adds matter-of-factly, “it’s fun to be a witch.”

Some movie directors talk about what they would do for the final Harry Potter films.

Tom Tykwer (“Perfume”): “What I like about the ‘Harry Potter’ series is, the older Harry gets, the more scary the movies are, and I think I would push for the scary parts more than what has been done. It’s getting there. I’m curious how far they’re daring to go there.”

David Fincher (“Zodiac”): “Could I make it darker than Alfonso’s? I don’t know. [Should Harry die?] As all good teenagers must.”
