Many people's plans were thrown into disarray by the delay of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" until next summer. But when one door shuts, another (or several) open: HP Fan Trips announced this evening that they have secured a cast member from Equus to participate in an exclusive workshop following the included performance; and Azkatraz has announced plans for an exclusive IMAX screening of "Half-Blood Prince," which now conveniently coincides with their conference in 2009.
Actor Daniel Radcliffe is set to make an appearance on the "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" show next Monday, August 25, to discuss his Broadway play "Equus."
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," Scholastic, the U.S. publishers of the series, will hold at their headquarters in New York City, the "Harry Potter Cover to Cover Day" event starting at 8 am on Tuesday, September 23rd. The event will include opportunities for fans to sit in the throne used by J.K. Rowling while she visited New York in 2005 and 2007, view the event on a webcast and for those attending, a even commemorative souvenir.
The Decatur Book Festival allows you to "immerse yourself in literature and poetry, meet Pulitzer Prize winners and probe the writers' mind... or you can dress silly, sing loud, laugh a lot and have the cheapest possible family outing." Scholastic's Harry Potter "continuity editor" at Scholastic, Cheryl Klein, will judge a Harry Potter quiz on August 30th as part of the festival. AJC.com spoke to Cheryl about her role in the festival, a little about what she's doing post-Harry Potter, and whether she ever encountered inconsistencies in the Potter books: "Changes like that did come up. Talking about them is a little like violating lawyer-client privilege. It’s the author’s job to talk about those." Thanks to everyone who emailed!
Warner Bros. is suing an Indian film company called Mirchi Movies because of the title of a film it had scheduled to release on September 12th - "Hari Puttar." According to a WB spokespesron, "We have recently commenced proceedings against parties involved in the production and distribution of a movie entitled Hari Puttar. Warner Bros values and protects intellectual property rights. However, it is our policy not to discuss publicly the details of any ongoing litigation." However, a Mirchi Movies spokesperson stated, "We registered the Hari Puttar title in 2005 and it's unfortunate that Warner has chosen to file a case so close to our film's release. In my opinion, I don't think our title has any similarity or links with Harry Potter." Hari is apparently a popular Indian name while Puttar means son in Punjabi. We'll keep you updated on this story. Thanks to everyone who emailed in.
