Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to be Made into Two Movies
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to be Made into Two Movies:
Is this to tell the story better, or to get another movie out of the plot line - and thus more money?
"The final Harry Potter book will be split into two movies to be released in
2010 and 2011."
Is this to tell the story better, or to get another movie out of the plot line - and thus more money?

Michael Giltz: Why Harry Potter Won't be a Bestseller - Entertainment on The Huffington Post
Michael Giltz: Why Harry Potter Won't be a Bestseller - Entertainment on The Huffington Post:
While I can understand that you would want a separate list for children's books and adult books (not that kind of adult book), Harry Potter really is more than a children's book. The real problem seems to be that three book in the series has camped out on the list. A better idea might be to limit only one book in a series on the list at any time. Leave the highest selling book on the list and take the others off the list.
"Wanna make some easy money? Tell your friends you don't think Harry Potter and
the Deathly Hallows will debut at #1 on The New York Times Bestseller List.
Heck, you don't think it will even make the Top Ten! Then give them ten to one
odds.
Huh? The book that will probably set a single day and one week
sales record, the book hundreds of thousands will line up for at midnight won't
be the Number One book on The New York Times Bestseller list? That's right
because Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is a children's book and those
books don't count."

J.K. Rowling Tells Fans to Simmer Down
A Socialite's Life: J.K. Rowling Tells Fans to Simmer Down
A message from J.K. Rowling...
"We are almost there! As launch night looms, let's all, please, ignore the
misinformation popping up on the web and in the press on the plot of Harry
Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I'd like to ask everyone who calls themselves a
Potter fan to help preserve the secrecy of the plot for all those who are
looking forward to reading the book at the same time on publication day. In a
very short time you will know EVERYTHING!"
A message from J.K. Rowling...
Harry Potter will survive The Deathly Hallows.
Harry Potter will survive The Deathly Hallows.:
"Where does this prediction come from? The likelihood of this prediction is computed in real time by a prediction market. The prediction is treated like a stock that traders can buy and sell. "
This is good news for my sister.
Now for who I think will die in the last book. Again this is based on speculation and not on knowledge of the last book. I have not read the last book, or any of the books actually.
I think Hermione dies and this is why...
1) I don't think that the person in the book that JK is the closest too would be Harry, but Hermione. In fact I think that Hermione is the writer in her own story.
2) Like JK, Hermione has come from a position of relatively low status and risen to high status, against the odds.
3) If Hermione is the writer in the story, the surest way to make sure the story ends is to take the writer out of the story.
4) Her name has always looked to me like the word heroine.
5) I believe that she will die to save someone Else's life, showing her strength of spirit and will in a clear message about the discrimination against her and other muggle borns.
6) Her name comes from a Shakespeare tragedy, where the character by the same name dies.
7) The name Hermione comes from the name of the god Hermes (Mercury), the god who among other things serves as the connection between men and gods.
8) Her last name, Granger come from a Ray Bradbury book Fahrenheit 451, where it is the leader of a group of men who work to preserve books in a future where books are burned. At one point this leader talks about the phoenix its endless cycle of life and death and rebirth.
9) Because JK said that she cried at the end of the book, which implies that someone in the book that she was very close to had died.

For Harry Potter, Good Old-Fashioned Closure - New York Times
For Harry Potter, Good Old-Fashioned Closure - New York Times:
While some some have been critical of the New York Times for getting their hands on an early edition of the book and writing a review for it. The review that they do write is very good, and it doesn't give away the ending. Click the link for the full review.
"Harry’s journey will propel him forwards to a final showdown with his
archenemy, and also send him backwards into the past, back to the house in
Godric’s Hollow where his parents died, to learn about his own family history
and the equally mysterious history of Dumbledore’s family. At the same time, he
will be forced to ponder the equation between fraternity and independence, free
will and fate, and to come to terms with his own frailties and those of others.
Indeed, ambiguities proliferate throughout “The Deathly Hallows”: we are made to
see that kindly Dumbledore, sinister Severus Snape and perhaps even awful Muggle
cousin Dudley Dursley may be more complicated than they initially seem, that all
of them, like Harry himself, have hidden aspects to their personalities, and
that choice — more than talent or predisposition — matters most of all."

HARRY POTTER PREDICTIONS
The web is going a little crazy right now with rumors and chat about how the final book in the Harry Potter story will end. I asked my sister how she thinks the tale will end for Harry and his friends. I want to make it clear, this is based on previous readings of the books, and not knowledge of the final book.

Harry Potter- Forget the spoilers, this is what I think will happen!
Firstly, Harry doesn’t die. I’ve read the New York Times review and it does not in any way indicate that he dies. It actually leads the reader to believe that Harry does indeed live. Aside from that, Harry dying would not be an appropriate way to end the series. It just wouldn’t fit with all else that has happened.
I’ve read spoilers that say that practically everyone dies… It is hard to say who I think will actually die. I don’t want Ron or Hermoine to die, but it is possible. It is more probable that one of them is injured or endures horrible torture but ultimately triumphs. I believe that Snape dies, and I think it will be in a way that once and for all proves his allegience to the good side. I see him as sacrificing himself for Harry in the end. Snape’s greatest fear is being seen as a coward, and isn’t giving your life for another an ultimate form of bravery? Peter Pettigrew is also likely to die helping Harry as Pettigrew owes him a life debt. I think that Neville Longbottom finishes off Bellatrix Lestrange to avenge his parents, and Neville lives and goes on to be a teacher at Hogsworts in his favorite subject, Herbology. I would love to see Lucius Malfoy die, although I think there is still hope for Draco. Also, other people Harry holds dear may die in the end. These are likely to be people such as Lupin, members of The Order of the Phoneix who are actively involved in fighting Voldemort.
Although I think Voldemort is killed, I truly hope Harry does not murder him with the killing curse. After Harry destroys all the horcruxes, there may be a way to kill Voldemort without Harry losing his innocence in that way. One theory says the door to the love room in the Department of Mysteries will open and the force of love will burst out and destroy Voldemort. I really like that idea.
I think Harry lives, marries Ginny, who obviously lives as well, and they have several children. Harry wants to be an Auror, but fighting Voldemort and his henchmen may satisfy that desire so that he goes on to pursue another, less dangerous profession. My hope is that he eventually leads England’s Quiddich team to victory in the next World Cup!

» Daniel Radcliffe Shocks Emma Watson - Mocksie.com
Common that is a picture that could shock anyone, he looks less like a student at a school of magic and more like a member of a motorcycle gang. I can see it now, Harry and the Potters, no that sounds more like a bad garage band.

Best Week Ever » Blog Archive » Daniel Radcliffe More Than Happy to Bang His Underaged Groupies
Best Week Ever » Blog Archive » Daniel Radcliffe More Than Happy to Bang His Underaged Groupies:
Please you said I could be Hermione this time....
"‘Harry Potter’ star Daniel Radcliffe is happy to have sex with girls who are
only interested in him because of his fame. The 17-year-old actor insists he is
too young to settle down and is keen to take advantage of any groupies he has.
He said: “Girls who want to go out with me just because I’m famous has never
been a problem. I’m 17. I don’t care. Obviously, if I wanted a deep and
meaningful relationship then I wouldn’t want to be going out with somebody who
is only with me because I’m an actor, but if you don’t a relationship like that
then it’s fine.”
However, Daniel is adamant he wouldn’t stay with a girl who
called him Harry during sex."

Celebrity News!: 'Harry Potter's' Stars Confessed To Drinking & Smoking - into GOSSIP.
Celebrity News!: 'Harry Potter's' Stars Confessed To Drinking & Smoking - into GOSSIP.:
Breaking news, Emma hopes to replace Lindsay Lohan on the party circuit as soon as she gets done with these stupid Potter movies. From what I hear her role in the last movie is going to end before Harry's does by the way.
"Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, who play young wizards Harry
Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, say they have experimented just like
all other teenagers.
Emma, 17, said: 'You are careful not to do it in
the public eye. You have your first cigarette or first glass of alcohol in a
safe environment with your close friends - or you could be foolish and choose to
do it in a London nightclub.'
18-year-old Rupert added: 'Because we are
quite busy we do miss out, but we still have those kinds of experiences like
getting drunk for the first time.'"
