The Telegraph has a new interview with J.K.Rowling where she talks about writing her newest children’s story in cafes.

“I am very good at finding a suitable cafe. I blend into the crowd and, of course, I don’t sit in the middle of the bar staring all around me. In 90 per cent of cases, it’s the cafe’s staff who allow me to work without being bothered.”

MSN UK recently included Rupert Grint in their list of Top Gingers! Go HERE to see Rupert’s page!

Harry Potter star Rupert Grint is sexy. Don’t think so? Well, neither did we until we carried out an internet search to see whether he talks about his defining red hair much, and all we could find was breathless teenagers banging on about ‘hot’ they find Rupe’s fiery red mop-top. And of course, it made him perfect for the role of Ron from the gloriously redheaded Weasley family. Hmm, speaking about Harry Potter, she may be blonde now but JK Rowling was most definitely on the flame-haired side of the fence when she first came to prominence.

MSN has made a list of Oscar categories which they’d like to see. Harry Potter is included in some of them!

Acceptance Speech We’d Most Like to Hear

So, our two nominees for this category are Emma Thompson, who played a wonderfully weepy Sybil Trelawney in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and Tom Hanks, who played Charlie Wilson in the eponymous war movie.

And the Oscar goes to …

Thompson, because we’d rather laugh than cry.

Most Toxic On-Screen Chemistry

For 2007, we call out Daniel Radcliffe and Katie Leung, who played Harry Potter and Cho Chang in Order of the Phoenix.

And the Oscar goes to …

The Potter kids. The kiss between Harry and Cho was among the most-hyped events of the summer, and these two definitely did not get their OWLs in chemistry. Brr. Bring on Ginny Weasley.
