The Tale of Despereaux, the animated film featuring the voice of Emma Watson has a video game coming out December 9th. You can preorder it HERE! We are not sure if Emma’s voice is used in the game as of yet.
G4TV has a new article out about the Electronic Arts press conference at the GCDC ’08. In the article it says:
9:40AM – […] Then he shows a new trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince game, and James and Oliver Phelps, who play the Weasley twins in the movies, come out and play it. Castable spells, potions, story play, Quidditch. Pretty amazing looking.
If I find any more information I will post it! Thanks Renata!
Thanks to Erik for sending me a link to a video he just added to youtube. It is a short inside look at Ballet Shoes, it has parts of the Barnes and Noble interview in it as well. The movie will be in theaters for a limited run on the 26th of this month and the dvd comes out on September 1st. Today is the last day to enter the contest as well! So ENTER!
Scholastic, the U.S. publishers of the series, will hold Harry Potter Cover to Cover Day event at their headquarters in New York City, the starting at 8 am on Saturday, September 23rd! I will see if I can get there to get pictures and other fun stuff (if I can find someone to come that is)! Highlights:

Fans of all ages can also view the event on a live webcast at www.scholastic.com/readharry, and those in New York will get a chance to sit in the throne used by J.K. Rowling at Carnegie Hall and Radio City Music Hall, and read a portion from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone aloud.

In a new interview that is posted on SS Dan mentions that “Sirius was in the script for Deathly Hallows in regards to ‘The Forest Again’ scene, but there is no guarantee at the moment on whether or not Gary Oldman will be back to play the part.” Hopefully he will be back!
UPDATE: Full details of the interview are now online over at SS! I particularly enjoy this part becuase I did gymnastics since age 5:
He spoke about his dyspraxia, which he regrets mentioning because of the reaction it elicited. He said he doesn’t affect him as much, and that having done gymnastics from the age of 11 has helped him better coordinate himself.
Feltbeats has posted the second half of that interview I mentioned the other day.
FB: Tell us what you think of Tom’s acting in The Disappeared? JK: I thought that Tom’s acting was exceptional – otherwise I wouldn’t have cast him, Malfoy or not. There were quite a few demanding scenes and Tom delivered each and every time. That’s why I will work with him again and we have also become good friends now.
FB: Describe what it was like working with Tom? JK: It was an immense pleasure to work with Tom – he’s not hard work at all and absolutely no ego – just a really genuine guy who is super talented. We have been talking about working together again in the future, both of us are very keen on the idea.
