Weekend Review – “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part Two”
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.

Deathly Hallows, Part 1 Trailer

Our first look at just the first half of the last book. (Wow, that’s an ugly sentence).
Some of the scenes we saw in the first trailer, but it does have scads of new stuff to see. Based on what’s here, I have a pretty good idea of where the films break the book.

We get our first look at the final two films in the series. Have to say…looks damn good. As a bonus, I’ve also got Predators which I seem to have missed when it first rolled out.

Bureau42-Cast – Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince Roundtable
Well then, there have been murmurs, plans, and plottings backstage until finally, Fiziko, Matt, and I saw (in our respective countries) “Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince”, and decided to talk about it together on Gizmo (after we couldn’t quite get it recorded on Skype), and now record it. Thus, you, you lucky, lucky devils you, get to listen to it!
EDIT: One other little thing – if you have any constructive criticism or topic suggestions, please feel free to post those in the comments so we can get some topic ideas, or just generally work to make the next installment better.

Harry Potter and The Awards of Tony
Brian Awards, Harry Potter, Tony Awards Harry Potter
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.
