| News from mugglenet More insight into HP world in 'Beedle the Bard' The book that was previously only given to six people, The Tales of Beedle the Bard, will be published on December 4th with all royalties being donated to Children's High Level Group charity. Scholastic has provided some new information on what the book contains, some of which can be seen below: "[Dumbledore] reveals not just his vast knowledge of Wizarding lore, but also more of his personal qualities: his sense of humor, his courage, his pride in his abilities, and his hard-won wisdom. Names familiar from the Harry Potter novels sprinkle the pages, including Aberforth Dumbledore, Lucius Malfoy and his forebears, and Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington (or 'Nearly Headless Nick'), as well as other professors at Hogwarts and the past owners of the Elder Wand." & Equus on Broadway rehearsals begin Friday night The Broadway production of Equus is quickly approaching (with performances beginning in September), and we've just been told by the production company that rehearsals will commence in just a few days! As most of you know, Equus on Broadway stars Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Richard Griffiths (Uncle Vernon). We'd like to remind everyone that the link to the Equus on Broadway site can be found right here, and you can go here to purchase tickets for a showing. & Catching the Half-Blood Prince teaser in theaters If you want to catch the recently released Half-Blood Prince teaser trailer on the big screen, you'll be happy to know that there are a couple of films to see it with. As we told you when the teaser was announced, it is currently playing in front of The Mummy. A few MuggleNet readers have also told us that the trailer is playing with Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Readers have also been telling us that it hasn't appeared in front of The Mummy in a few theaters. We recommend that if you're going to see a film just for the teaser, check with the theater ahead of time. & Harry Potter Prequel sets short story sales record Back in June, we told you about the prequel that JK Rowling wrote to support Waterstone's "What's Your Story" charity auction. Jo's story sold to the winning bidder for nearly $50,000 Today, the postcard book that includes stories from Jo and 12 other authors went on sale to the general public. Lo and behold, The Telegraph is reporting that 10,000 copies went on sale at Waterstone's stores, and 10,000 copies were sold by the end of the day! From the article: "Fans have been desperate to own this limited edition piece of Harry Potter history," said Toby Bourne, Waterstone's head of children's buying. "Pre-orders flooded in from all over the world. Demand was so big that we stopped taking pre-orders to ensure customers had a chance to buy the book in stores." & News from HPANA Secrets of the 'HBP' teaser trailer: Grayback and more http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1591779/story.jhtml Thanks to intrepid sleuths, careful examination of the teaser trailer for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" reveals what looks like the first image of renegade werewolf Fenrir Greyback and -- near the end of the video -- the "avada kedavra" of a certain major character. Paul (Ravenclaw) "Maybe he is, maybe he isn't, but the fact remains he can move faster than Severus Snape confronted with shampoo when he wants to" |
