Whoopi’s Oops on The View

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, ABC, Gossip, Video


It seems Whoopi Goldberg has the same problem I do - telling long-bearded wizards apart. Ian McKellen (that’s Sir to you) stopped by the set of to talk about Lord of the Rings…and ended up getting asked about Harry Potter instead. Specifically, he was asked if he was “coming back” in the next Harry movie.

He explained that he might return to the Potter movies - if he was , the actor who is in them. “But I don’t play Dumbledore,” McKellen remained smooth - leave it to an Englishman. “I play in Lord of the Rings,” he explained to Whoopi. Aw, heck, who can tell the difference under all that facial hair?

Deathly Hallows Review Sparks Rowling’s Anger

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Gossip, Rumors, Spoilers

Harry Potter

Reviews of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the much-anticipated final installment to J.K. Rowling’s boy wizard saga, appeared in two newspapers on Thursday. The problem is, the book isn’t supposed to be sold until 12:01 am July 21, 2007. The New York Times and Baltimore Sun both published reviews of the book, allegedly angering series creator/writer J.K. Rowling. The New York Times claims its copy of Deathly Hallows was purchased in the city on Wednesday, and the Sun assured its readers the book their paper obtained was “through legal and ordinary means.” Yet, nearly everyone in the country has pre-ordered the book or is waiting, with baited breath, for its release – and none of them have managed to get advanced copies.

Don’t Believe the Potter Spoilers

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Action, Kids, Gossip, Rumors, Spoilers

Ron, Harry, and Hermoine

As the release date of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows draws ever-nearer, more Internet rumor and spoilers are cropping up than you can shake a mouse at. Digital images of what may or may not be the entire text of the novel, including a seven-page epilogue, are all over the Web. Potter publishers Scholastic Books are ordering these spoilers off the ‘Net, though spokespersons for the company say this by no means is an indication of the validity of the spoilers themselves. The publishing house further stated there is more than one version of the book currently on the ‘Net, though many of these look “convincing.” Speculation has been dramatic, and even those who are on the “inside” have to wait for answer like everyone else. In a recent USA Today interview, Rupert Grint (who plays Harry’s BFF Ron Weasley) said he wouldn’t mind doing a death scene for the seventh movie, and he believes both Harry and Voldemort will die in the Deathly Hallows.

Rowling, with more than 325 million copies of Harry books sold, is the first author to ever make a billion dollars from her literary efforts. The Harry Potter franchise includes a highly successful string of movies, with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix scheduled for theaters July 13. The final movie won’t make it to the theatres until 2010.

Daniel Radcliffe to Star in TV Drama

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Drama, BBC, News

Daniel RadcliffeIt’s nice to see that Daniel Radcliffe is stretching beyond his role as Harry Potter... not that his bank account is exactly suffering with the never-ending films in the Harry Potter series. It’s been announced that Radcliffe will take on a role as the son of British author Rudyard Kipling in the TV drama My Boy Jack. The film tells the story of how Kipling was able to get his 17-year-old son an officer’s commission in the British army during WWI. Unfortunately, the boy never returned from the trenches and his body was never found, despite Kipling and his wife’s best efforts to locate him. “I’ve always been fascinated by the subject and think it’s as relevant today as it ever was, with young men still sacrificing their lives in the name of war,” said Radcliffe of his upcoming role. The movie will air next fall on Britain’s ITV1—no word on when we’ll be seeing it in the states.
