Entertainment Weekly has named Harry Potter producer David Heyman their 9th Smarted Person in Hollywood. The list comprises of 50 great people in movie making. Here is what they had to say about David:

9. DAVID HEYMAN
AGE 46
JOB TITLE Producer
SMART BECAUSE He has expertly steered the highest-grossing global franchise in film history. Heyman secured the rights to the Harry Potterbooks in 1997 and has done just about everything right since, including bonding with author J.K. Rowling and wisely seeking her input. He helped find unexpected directors (e.g., Alfonso Cuaron, David Yates) who’ve kept things fresh. And he’s kept the cast intact through five films, without any of his three teenage stars succumbing to a Lohanesque episode. While Warner Bros. president Alan Horn deserves credit for making the correct macro decisions, the franchise’s success rests on a thousand micro choices Heyman made, including creating a world, on set and on screen, where people want to be.
FREE WILLY Supported star Daniel Radcliffe’ s choice to appear nude in Equus.

I just saw Enchanted tonight and it was so good! Why am I telling you this on a Harry Potter site? Because Timothy Spall, who plays Peter Pettigrew in the Harry Potter films, was in it! He was really good and made me laugh so much.

So if you like him I really recommend you see Enchanted. And because its a really really good movie anyways. I want to see it again already.

According to The Scotsman, JK Rowling has donated a signed Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to The Trefoil House to be raffled off.

David McArthur, Trefoil’s chief executive said: “We are absolutely delighted by this generous gift. This is a chance for someone to win it without having to pay lots of money as it’s not an auction and as it’s only taking place over two days the odds are good.”

The book will be raffled as part of the annual Christmas Bonanza, an event where people can come and buy presents they would not normally find in mainstream shops.

The Bonanza is being held at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange, New Market Road, on December 4 and 5, and the raffle winner will be drawn at the end of the second day. 

There is a new video clip online from the Order of the Phoenix DVD that has Matthew Lewis, along with Daniel Radcliffe, director David Yates, designer Stuart Craig and director of Photography Slawomir Idziak. In the video they talk about the Room of Requirement scene.

Thanks Lewis Lovers!

As most of you know, a copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard has been on display in New York, and Leaky has scanned some pages of the Sotheby’s catalog that everyone can buy.  The actual book is going to be auctioned to benefit the Children’s Voice Charity. You can buy a copy of the catalog HERE! And you can view pictures of the book and catalog HERE! (I have already bought my copy! Can’t wait for it to come)

Thanks so much to Leaky!
