RupertGrint.net has posted a video interview with Rupert at the V Festival held recently.

See the video HERE, via youtube.

Rupert announced in another interview (click Monday under “Listen Again.” It is at 21:05:00) that the cast has come together once more for Half-Blood Prince:

“We sort of read the script through. We got all the cast to come around to read the script and we’ll be filming it for another year so.. Ron’s got a girlfriend in this one. It’s a little bit more intense for him! [laughs] So it should be fun!”

FX has a feature on how the special effects of the Harry Potter movies are done. It is very interesting, so you should head to the link above or click read more to read just the text (the other page has pictures). They do need to get some terms correct on their opening section though:

Harry Potter is one of the great publishing stories of our time and the Warner Brothers films have consistently produced Muggles gold. We provide our own Patronus to explain the true wizards behind Privet Lane, giants, and charms, as well as go inside the Ministry this week in our fxpodcast with Double Negative’s Paul Franklin. We also have notes from some other vfx shops involved in the movie.

Its the one month anniversary of the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Time really flies, doesnt it?

Soon it will be 2 months, then a whole year. Kind of depressing. Are you all experiencing Post Potter Depression? I know I am.

According to The Scotsman, JK Rowling is going to be honoured in Edinburgh for her contributions to the city and helping get children interested in reading again. 

Set to receive an official honour from the city, with the possibility of a street being named after her.
A civic reception is expected to be held in her honour, in addition to the creation of a more permanent tribute.

JK Rowling has made a fantastic contribution to literature and Edinburgh has benefited greatly from her prominence on the world stage. I welcome the suggestion that her contribution should be celebrated in some way by the city 

JK Rowling’s connection with Edinburgh has brought the city to the attention of millions of Harry Potter fans around the world. She is truly an exceptional ambassador for the city and the rest of Scotland.
