In all the craziness I forgot to wish Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows a Happy Birthday on the 21st!  I can’t believe it has been 2 years since the series ended, I can still remember reading the book that day. I was so mad because I had to go to a family reunion that day so I couldn’t read the book until later. So I read from 7pm until 7am, then went to church at 8 and stayed up until my normal bedtime the next day (midnight  ). It took me 10 hours 44 minutes and 17 seconds, I still have the time on my timer haven’t reset it yet. I was so dead.

HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY DEATHLY HALLOWS!!!!!

According to Joshua Herdnam’s guest assistant at the the Comic Con he will be reprising his role of Gregory Goyle in Deathly Hallows. Josh also mentioned that there is a chance that Jamie Waylett (Crabbe) may not reprise his role, but that is not confirmed, so that is a rumour until which time it is confirmed.

Josh had said, before all the hearings and stuff with Jamie (which you might have noticed I haven’t posted about, I just feel weird posting that kind of thing) that there will be a larger focus on Blaise Zabini instead of Crabbe in the final Harry Potter films. Louis Cordice – who played Blaise in Half-Blood Prince – is confirmed to return in the last two Deathly Hallows films.

Thanks SS!

Access Hollywood got a tour of the Knockturn Alley set for Half-Blood Prince, and there are interviews with Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, and Tom Felton.

Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson participated in several interviews with BBC Radio 1 during Half-Blood Prince promotion!

Since it is now July 23rd in the UK we should all wish Daniel Radcliffe a Happy 20th Birthday!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN!!!!
