ACED Magazine got an interview with the Harry Potter stars during last month’s Florida Supercon. Natalia Tena, Hugh Mitchell, Devon Murray, and Danielle Tabor were in attendance.

We all had to lean closer as Natalia Tena spent a few seconds whispering in imitation of David Yates, making the others laugh in agreement. “He is awesome. He’s so soft spoken. You don’t even know how he gets stuff done. Most other directors, like in theatre, are like, �€�Lights! What are you doing? Get him to do that!'” yells Natalia, and then bursts into laughter.

Devon adds, “He’s just more laid back than all the other directors. Besides Alfonso Cuaron (Prisoner of Azkaban), he was just real hip. He was like ‘Go on, yeah. Do it. Do it.’ Whereas, Dave… he would ask [everyone] on the set: What is your input, what do you want to happen in the scene? Like, if you would say to him, ‘Well, if I was to do this and he was to do that,’ he’ll film that and then he’ll try it his way. So it’s nice to have your own input into the movie as well.”

Warner Bros. is thinking about creating a Massively Multiplayer Role Playing Game (MMORPG) for Harry Potter.

The notion of creating a Harry Potter multi-player online role playing game is something that we’ve been discussing at Warner Bros. for a number of years and continue to explore.

We are currently investigating the possibility of creating our own MMORPG, but unfortunately do not have any further details to share at this time.

The Hexham Courant is reporting that Anne Jones broke the world speed reading record.  She read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in 47 minutes which means 4,251 words per minute. That only beats my reading time by 11 hours. Ha ha. But I was reading sorta slow.

She was part of a team put together by The Times to compile the first online review of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Last year, she broke the world speed reading record at a Border’s bookshop in London, by tackling the 250,000 word Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in just over 47 minutes.

“I read and re-read all the previous Harry Potter books beforehand, as I wanted to become as familiar with the plot as possible” she says.
