Harry Potter and the Lost Diary - 06/24/09

 
 
 
 

Welcome to another edition of Harry Potter and the Lost Diary!  Today, we have news about the London and U.S. premieres, a clip about Weasley Wizard Wheezes, more interviews with Tom Felton, information on the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince video game, a musical about Harry Potter, and so much more, so let's jump right in...

 

Watch the London Premiere of HBP from Home

That's right!  On July 7, the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be premiering in London and no matter where you live, you can watch it broadcast live on the Internet at LiveStream.  We'll update you again when the event is near so you don't miss it!

 

Weasley Wizard Wheezes

James Phelps and Oliver Phelps guest starred recently on Blue Peter and showcased an exclusive clip from HBP.  The clips showns Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and the Phelps' (Weasley Twins) in their new shop in Diagon Alley.

 

Tom Felton: Readers Digest Interview

In this month's Readers Digest U.K. Edition there is an interview with Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy).  Tom has definitely been hitting up the media circuit doing more interviews than we are able to keep track of!  For all of you Felon fans out there, you must really be enjoying this change of pace.  He is also featured in an article at Boy's Life Magazine, which largely focuses on scouting.

 

"Making of" Harry Potter HBP Video Game

You can catch all of your favorite Harry Potter actors in this featurette about the making of the HBP video game.  Daniel Radcliffe, Bonny Wright, Emma Watson, and Tom Felton are all featured in the video.  The graphics to the game look pretty low-budget to me, but hopefully that is just the video quality and not the game itself.

 

Harry or Voldemort?

One of the things I like to do is find interesting articles out there that you may not have come across.  My favorites tend to be the ones that can relate something personal or infuse us with the act of thinking.  Here's a good one from The Irish Chronicles called "Everything I Need to Know I Learned from Harry Potter."  You can find a similar story here.  Enjoy!

 

Has Harry Potter Lost His Magic?

Well, of course not, but MSN asked the question.  Some of you may have come across this article already as it has been posted on countless blogs, but we won't be linking directly to the article.  Instead, we think you should read what The Leaky Cauldron had to say about the article.  For the record:  We agree.

 

Matthew Lewis Talks HBP

While promoting the Half-Blood Price, the HBP Truck was in Holland today.  Matthew Lewis (Longbottom) spoke to a Dutch television news network about the upcoming movie.  He's so confident in real life; he's starting to become the Longbottom we see in HBP and DH!

 

Chicago Museum Sets Attendance Record!

Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry, where the Harry Potter Exhibit is located, recorded nearly 20,000 visitors in one day.  According to the museum, that's the highest single day in more than a decade.  They were celebrating their 76th anniversary!

 

Emma May Give Up Acting

Emma Watson has been quoted as saying she does not have "a burning desire to act."  She will soon be heading off to college and we may not hear from her much after the filming of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  We've heard similar stories about Daniel Radcliffe.  I doubt we've seen the last of either, though.

 

Harry Potter: The Musical

We haven't brought this one up yet, but it's been circulating for nearly a week now.  You can watch an original musical play of Harry Potter at YouTube.  That link will take you to a playlist that will allow you to watch it from beginning to end.  I've never been a big fan of musicals so I haven't watched it.  :-)

 

Half-Blood Prince Premiere in New York City

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be premiering in New York City at the Ziegfeld Theater.  You can expect the full red carpet treatment for all of the Harry Potter stars that will be in attendance, including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Bonnie Wright, and Tom Felton.  We'll be at the event so expect some exclusive photos and interviews from us when the premiere arrives on July 9!
