According to the article, they're already looking for someone to have the main role, to play Potter in an all-singing, all-dancing version of J.K. Rowling's magic at Hogwarts.

A 'theatre insider' stated, "The difficulty is condensing the seven books into a manageable show. They are exploring various ideas. One possibility is to tell the whole story. Another is to just take a single plot. The plan is for spectacular flying scenes, live Quidditch and big showdowns with Voldemort."

The article also states that J.K. Rowling is planning to write another special Harry Potter book in aid of Comic Relief's Red Nose Day in 2009.

Please note that this none of this information has been confirmed. ]]> - - JKR, main ]]> Sun, 26 Aug 2007 19:36:27 -0400 - - - http://harrypotterspage.com/news.php/2007/08/25/december-boys-promotions-and-other-information123.html - - DanRadcliffe.co.uk for sending us all of the promotions, premieres, screenings, junkets, and TV appearances for Dan Radcliffe with his new film, December Boys!

They stated that construction is set to begin at the end of this year. Some small companies that help to build theme parks are hoping to benefit. Bill Nassal Sr., with Nassal Co. that designs faux rocks and other objects, had to sign a confidentiality agreement just to talk with Universal. Says Nassal: "We can't say a word about any of this."

So, it looks like another Top Secret Harry Potter job! Just not a book, this time. smile

During that time, Mr. Yates stated that they still weren't sure if this part will stay in the screenplay.

You worked with Bill Nighy in “Girl in the Café.” Don’t you think he’d make a great addition to the Potter films?

Oh man, I’m already there. The only problem is, we’re looking at the next adaptation and Rufus Scrimgeour, who takes over the Ministry of Magic from Fudge, we’re not sure if he’s going to be in the finished screenplay yet. We’re struggling with it at the moment, and he’s in one moment and he’s out the next. But if he stays in, I’m going to be on the phone quick as a shot to Bill and say, “Bill, come on, you’ve got to do this, man.”

The first two Harry Potter films had scenes made in the village and in the cloisters at Lacock Abbey. During Order of the Phoenix, the cloisters courtyard was changed with computer animation to make it a courtyard at Hogwarts. This time, filmmakers want to bring all the main characters to the area to film some night scenes! Four days in October have been set for filming between 5pm and 5am. High Street and Church Street will be closed while the filming takes place.

WORD WIZARD
J.K. Rowling
The author behind the second highest-grossing film franchise in history after James Bond) cast a powerful spell with the release of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which broke Spider-Man 2's record for the best Wednesday opening in history. one week later, the final book in the series was released to riotous crowds who bought 8.3 million copies on the first oday in the U.S. alone - and Warner Brothers acknowledged that movie ticket sales for Phoenix actually fell because fans were too busy reading. What a novel idea!

HOGWARTS HOTTIE
Emma Watson
Whether or not the young actress can and will play anyone besides the Harry Potter film franchise's Hermione is irrelevant until 2010, when the series will reach its grand finale. Until then, she'll amass more and more fans while putting away $4 million per film into her college fund.

While there, he also spoke with BBC1, informing them that the cast for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince have come together to do a reading of the script.

"We sort of read the script through. We got all the cast to come around to read the script and we'll be filming it for another year so.. Ron's got a girlfriend in this one. It's a little bit more intense for him! [laughs] So it should be fun!"
