I don’t know much information behind the creator of this Harry Potter poster (or where you could buy one), which takes every chapter illustration from the books and puts them on a single poster. It’s like an illustraception. Can we conclude anything from this? Not a whole lot, except the drawings of Mary GrandPre got [...]
We know director Danny Boyle has something interesting cooked up for the opening ceremony. Part of it will involve James Bond on a mission from Queen Elizabeth.

J.K. Rowling announced yesterday that registration is now available for her new Pottermore site. Which is awesome! Except when you read this: “Those of you who would like the chance to gain early access to Pottermore must find The Magical Quill and then submit their registration details. Each day, from 31 July to 6 August, a [...]
