TIME magazine has released 50 Top Ten lists such as books, movies, DVDs, and TV shows. Their list of the Top 10 Fiction Books has Deathly Hallows in the number eight spot:

She gives us wartime gloom, the crackling three-sided chemistry of Harry and Ron and Hermione, and an epic, cataclysmic finale, among many other minor treats. This isn’t the most elegant of the Potter volumes, but it feels like an ending, the final iteration of Rowling’s abiding thematic concern: the overwhelming importance of continuing to love in the face of death.

I will try to get the magazine soon and get a scan up. But if anyone does it before me, please send in a scan!

Thanks MN for the tip!

There is new footage from “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” film on the US Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix DVD. There are lots of people in this video, so to watch (SPOILERS) click here or watch below.

Update: Thanks to HPANA we have a transcript of this that you can see when you click Read More.

MTV has  a new interview with Dan online where he talks about lots of fun stuff. And some other cast and crew members talk as well.

“If we pull [it] off [right], it should be the funniest of the films so far,” Daniel Radcliffe promised.

That’s because, as director David Yates points out, it’s the “sex, drugs, and rock and roll” of the Potter books, with massive making-out sessions to occur for several characters — Ron and Lavender, Harry and Ginny — as they come of age. “It’s the ‘American Graffiti’ for this set,” Yates said. “I’m looking forward to developing the relationship between Ron and Hermione, and Ron and Lavender. There’s a nice triangle there.”

Bonnie Wright (who plays Ginny) hopes fans don’t have the same response to her more extended kissing scenes. “I suppose our relationship lasts longer than Cho and Harry, but remember — at the end of [Book] Six, Harry and I can’t be together,” she said. “It’ll be funny to do [the make-out scenes], but it’s just a film! Hopefully people will just enjoy it and not get too jealous,” she laughed.

Also, according to the article, Katie starts filming her parts in January 2008.

Thanks to Oclumencia.com.br for finding 30 new hi-resolution studio photos of various characters in Order of the Phoenix!!!

I would add them to the gallery right now, but my roommate just offered to take me to the 24 hour Walmart  (its 12:20 am here. Ha ha) to get Order of the Phoenix on DVD. So I will add them to the gallery as soon as I get back!

EDIT: Well she took longer than I thought to get ready so you can see them in the GALLERY!

As you may know, there are only a few days before Sotheby’s auction for The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling on December 13th, pictures of JK attending a Sotheby’s cocktail party for the auction have appeared online courtesy of Getty Images.

Winnipegsun.com has posted 2 new articles today! The first is with Evanna Lynch called, “Luna the ultimate Rowling fan“. The second is with the trio called, “Growing with Potter“.

She is now reprising Luna in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, offering advice whenever director Yates needs a quick reference on arcane Potteresque details.
Whenever Rowling is around, however, Lynch is on alert.
“I have met her six times. I count! It always is exciting. She comes on set occasionally and I always try to steal her. She does have a magic about her and she has secrets. There is a mystery about her.”

“I don’t really sit down and rewatch all the films again,” Grint says in an interview, “but you see a lot of clips here and there. It is really sort of strange to look back and it just sort of makes you realize how long we’ve been doing this.
