Newcomers Dominic McLaughlin, Alastair Stout and Arabella Stanton have been cast as Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. They will play the starring roles in a TV epic that will span at least a decade.
May the universe be kind to them. Merlin knows the fandom won’t be.

Book of the Week: The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook
Not an award we usually get to cover here at the Bureau, but it proved to be a good year for genre plays. Well, one in particular, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
The play, a sequel to the original seven books that follows young Albus Potter’s adventures at Hogwarts, won six Tony Awards including Best Play and Best Direction of a Play.
You can see the full results of the award ceremony here.
It was just announced (Variety) that J.K. Rowling will make her screenwriting debut scripting the first in a series of movies based on Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a fictitious book which is a non-fiction textbook at Hogwarts in the world of Harry Potter. No release dates have been announced yet.
The much-discussed fan film begins. Not intended for younger viewers.
Harry Potter’s final (currently planned) adventure has hit the big screen. The box office response is undeniably positive, but this early, that says more about a movie’s level of anticipation than its quality.
Pottermore.com is the newest project from the uber-queen of the literary world. Billed as an interactive version of the original story where “you” get play a part.
It’s a little light on details and it won’t open until October, but Rowling went on YouTube early this morning to give us some information.
Also of note: The site will be exclusive place to buy the eBook version of the series. I hope they make them compatible with Kindles and Nooks.
For more on the project, check out the video from the author herself.
It all comes down to this and it looks awesome.
And July 15th is my anniversary. Thank you WB for making this an easy present!
The first half of the (probably) final Harry Potter adventure has made it to the big screen.
