Today, JK Rowling has updated her site once again to discuss the Lexicon book issue.

Lexicon Continued

As you may have read, on 8 November, 2007 a judge in New York granted an order against RDR Books in respect to the proposed book The Harry Potter Lexicon, such order applying to any proposed licensing of the book worldwide.

Judge Patterson has imposed a restraining order on the publishers of the Lexicon, which will remain in place until February 2008. This means that the book can not be completed, published or marketed until the court has had time to decide whether it would break the law if published in its present form.

I take no pleasure in the fact that publication has been prevented for the present. On the contrary, I feel massively disappointed that this matter had to come to court at all. Despite repeated requests, the publishers have refused to even countenance making any changes to the book to ensure that it does not infringe my rights.

Unless their position changes, we will all return to court next year. Given my past good relations with the Lexicon fansite, I can only feel sad and disillusioned that this is where we have ended up.

CBBC Newsround has said that actress Helen McCrory will play Narcissa Malfoy in the sixth movie.

You may remember Helen was originally cast as Bellatrix Lestrange but she was pregnant and had ot withdraw.

Also, the actors for young Tom Riddle and Lavender Brown should be announced soon.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix the movie is one of three nominees for the Favorite Movie Drama award at the 34th annual People’s Choice Awards. It is up against Disturbia and Premonition. You can vote and the show will air on Tuesday, January 8th at 9 pm (EST).

Time magazine is going under considerations for Person of the Year for 2007 and JK Rowling is on the list! They list the pros and cons for her being person of the year:

Pro: Finished a seven-book epic that will be read by children (and lots of adults) for generations to come. Slowly creeping up on Agatha Christie as the most read author not named Shakespeare.

Con: Seventh book wasn’t her best, and hard to argue she was the most important person of 2007.

So head over to the link above and Rate JKR! She is currently in first place.

Emma’s official site was updated yesterday to say that:

Emma has won the Gouden Flip (and parrot!) award for Best Actress at the 2007 awards given by Belgian newspaper ‘Het Nieuwsbald’. Emma was presented with her framed award and the accompanying cuddly parrot during one of the interviews at the OOTP DVD launch which happened last Saturday. To view an image of the award please click the images above [here] (which is now hanging on Emma’s dressing room wall).

Today, November 9th, is Brendan Gleeson’s birthday! Brendan plays Mad-Eye Moody in the Harry Potter films!

Happy Birthday Brendan and many more to come!
