Thanks Oclumencia!

Ian Kelly has been listed to play Hermione’s Muggle dentist father, Mr. Granger, in Deathly Hallows. He is rumored to be in a scene where Hermione places a memory charm on her parents before she heads to the Burrow (which we don’t actually see in the book, so it will be good to actually see).

Also, if you forgot, Michelle Fairley has been cast as Mrs. Granger in the film.

Thanks for the heads up SS!

Emma has updated her Official Site with a new blog post about Brown!  I posted about her arrival only to clear up rumors and now I will refrain from posting because its an invasion of her privacy, she is there to learn, not be stalked.  So no more talk of Emma at Brown unless she discusses it in an interview.

I know, according to the papers “I was definitely attending both Columbia and Yale but I’ve finally arrived at Brown University and while i wish that i could be in three places at once i would’nt believe everything you read! I arrived on Tuesday and I’m having the most amazing time. I’m still so excited to be here. I’ve already met so many incredible people. I’m over my jet lag and now i just want classes to start!! Hope you are all well and happy, and if you”ve just started college or university that it is everything you hoped it would be.
Love Emma x

Oh and contrary to the reports you may have read, I didn’t arrive by helicopter . I”ve only been in one once when i was little and i was terrified. Now back to my studies! Speak soon.

For some reason the update is gone now, but I assume it will be back soon, haha.

According to MTV, JK Rowling will have a Female Force biography comic book released about her in December of this year.

Bluewater Productions, whose line of “Political Power” and “Female Force” comics featured many of the aforementioned figures, revealed to Splash Page that Rowling will be the next subject of their popular line of biography comic books. The comic promises to chronicle the “rags to riches story of a woman receiving government financial assistance through her ascendancy in becoming one of the world’s most recognizable writers.”

Written by Adam Gragg with interior art by Matthew Filer (“Masque of the Dragons”) and cover art by Joshua Labello, “Female Force: J.K. Rowling” will hit shelves in two formats: a standard, 23-page comic and a “double-sized collector’s edition.”

Pre-order it at Amazon here and Amazon UK here. Thanks SS!

Crew working on Deathly Hallows are currently shooting at Queensway Tunnel in Liverpool, England. Filming began yesterday and is set to continue today, ending on Thursday.

The filming will take place at night in the Birkenhead tunnel while it is closed for routine maintenance.

The scene is thought to involve Hagrid, who has so far been played by Robbie Coltrane, racing through the tunnel on Sirius Black’s trademark motorbike with Harry Potter in a sidecar fighting off enemies with his wand. A publicist for the film said: “We have got a unit shooting for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  There are no principal cast members there.  It is all going very well and everybody has been very accommodating locally.”

Thanks SS!
