At the end of last month a bunch of fan sites, Magical-Menagerie included, were invited to a special preview tour of Warner Bros Studio Tour London: The Making of Harry Potter at Leaveseden Studios. Sadly my reporter had something come up last minute and wasn’t able to attend, so please check out the reports at the other fan sites for full details on the tour. I will have more news and information as we get closer to the opening next Spring!
Due to huge demand, tickets will only be available through pre-booking – they will not be sold at the studio. You can buy tickets online at www.wbstudiotour.co.uk, when they go on sale, on October 13th 2011 or from approved tour operators.

The Pottermore insider blog has been updated with some new information, including letting fans know that general registration will open at the end of October, some access may be quick, others may need to wait some weeks or months. Additionally the Pottermore Shop will open in the first half of 2012. They also answered some new Frequently Asked Questions:
As a Beta user, how am I helping to shape the Pottermore experience?
We’re tweaking different parts of the site based on how you’re interacting with it and the feedback you’re currently giving us. We’ll also be sending out a Beta survey to all Beta participants to help us decide which features to enhance and which to simplify.
The site isn’t always available, or can be very slow. Why is this?
As with most new sites, we’ve been experiencing technical challenges as more people begin to use Pottermore. These are usually quickly resolved as they arise, but can affect site performance or availability for short periods. We will continue to let you know, here on the Insider, if the site is unavailable for an extended period of time. We’d like to thank you for your patience.
When will I be able to duel again?
This area of the site has proved to be even more popular than we anticipated and we want to make sure that it will be able cope with the large number of users we expect before turning it back on.
We know people are keen for Wizard’s Duel to return and we’ll let you know, via the Insider, the moment it’s available.
I’m not in the Beta. When will Pottermore be available to me?
We expect to open registration to everyone from the end of October. Registering means that you’ll be able to create a Pottermore account and select a username. You won’t have immediate access to the site as we’ll be enabling people in phases.
Once you’ve registered, we’ll send you a Welcome email to let you know when your Pottermore account has been activated. This may arrive quickly but please note it could also take a number of weeks or months, depending on demand.
MTV has released a first look of Emma Watson in The Perks of Being a Wallflower. The video also has a brief interview with Emma.
“I feel incredible about it. I feel like I’ve been waiting for ‘Perks,’ ” Watson said. “I was waiting for this story, for this script, for this moment, for these people to do it with me. I’m so glad I didn’t do anything that I didn’t care about.”
“I don’t think there will be one teenager who will watch this and not have one story or one moment that they don’t deeply feel they can relate to,” Watson said.
