In a new interview (in French) Clemence, who played Fleur in Goblet of Fire, said:

For Harry Potter, I spent eight months in London. I was lucky, I am very grateful the producers chose me. They work with class, honesty and ethics. They only see how they leave their free and independent young performers. My participation was modest. I was flattered to find myself on the poster, given the scale of the phenomenon. If I was recognized on the street, it was thanks to Harry Potter. I have not read the last two books. I know that my character returns, but I have not been contacted for the sixth movie.

Hopefully, Clemence will be contacted soon about Fleur and will indeed be in Half-Blood Prince

The Leaky Cauldron is raising money for Book Aid International.  They are selling a Wizard Rock Christmas album for $15 and every penny of profit goes to the charity.  This album will only be on sale through Dec. 10. It is a limited-time purchase that is being printed in a limited run, I have already pre-ordered mine so why don’t you!?

J.K. Rowling and the Harry Potter series: At a time when reading has never faced more competition for kids’ time and attention, this series single-handedly reversed a worldwide trend. The Harry Potter series has enthralled a generation of kids (and their parents).

Congrats JK!

Well I went shopping today (got lots of HP stuff!) and I saw that there is a special edition of Expose magazine out. According to the cover it has:

50 pages of cast and crew interviews on the new movie, including Daniel Radcliffe himself!

The magazine is on stands now and is $9.99. There is also a normal edition that also has Harry on the cover, but I didn’t buy that one so I don’t know if it has anything different. That one was $8.99.

With filming for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince currently underway, some pictures of what might be Professor Horace Slughorn’s house have appeared online.

Enjoy!
