This may very well be the most anticipated movie of the next year. Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows is the seventh and the last installment of the Harry Potter series. Warner Bros have just released a first high quality teaser trailer of the movie. The trailer comes with additional commentary and behind scenes footage, which is played before the actual trailer begins. It's a bit confusing, but it *is* the trailer.

You can watch Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows trailer on the Daily Motion website. As for the movie, it won't be here any time soon. We still have almost a year to wait, until November 2010.

It seems like only last week "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" was looking on the rest of movies from the top of box office. Sixth movie about a young wizard earned just over $300,000,000 in US alone and more than twice as much abroad making it second most successful movie in HP saga (first being Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone).

DVD with the movie is almost ready. It will be available first in Australia (November 18th), then in United Kingdom (December 7th) and finally in United States (December 8th). You can preorder it on Amazon.com: Blu-Ray | Two-Disc Special Edition | Single-Disc Edition

SF Scope reports that "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, in Florida, comes close to reality". In other words first Harry Potter Theme Park is coming to life! With the success of books and movies I'm only surprised it took so long for someone to make it happen. The park, created by Universal Orlando Resort and Warner Brothers will be located in Orlando and will open in Spring 2010.

Universal Parks and Resorts CEO Tom Williams proclaimed "All of the action and adventures of Harry Potter's world will come to life here at Universal Orlando Resort. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will be unlike any other experience on earth and we can't wait to see the looks on our guests' faces as they enter this rich environment."

It's this time of the year again, another Harry Potter movie is coming to the big screen. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince had it's red carpet premiere in London. For those of you who are interested in the event, the official website of the movie has a video and photos from the premiere.

Sixth Harry Potter movie is not disappointing so far. The advance sales of the tickets for the grand opening on July 15th are surpassing even the latest champion, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. First reviews of the new HP movie are excellent. Half-Blood Prince is being called "the most satisfying book-to-film transfer" and "a phenomenon, as powerful as any Hogwarts love potion".

If you want to know more, take a look at those reviews: The Telegraph, ComingSoon.net, Jobolo.com, This Is London and Chud.

Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, J.K. Rowling

As much money and life as you could want! The two things most human beings would choose above all - the trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, J.K. Rowling

After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, J.K. Rowling

It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, J.K. Rowling

It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high. Some people, perhaps, would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew - and so do I, thought Harry, with a rush of fierce pride, and so did my parents - that there was all the difference in the world.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, J.K. Rowling

I think I'll just go down and have some pudding and wait for it all to turn up.... It always does in the end.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, J.K. Rowling

If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.

Joanne "Jo" Rowling (born 31 July 1965), who writes under the pen name J. K. Rowling, is a British writer and author of the Harry Potter fantasy series, the idea for which was conceived whilst on a train trip from Manchester to London in 1990. The Potter books have gained worldwide attention, won multiple awards, and sold nearly 400 million copies.

Readers beware. The brilliant, breathtaking conclusion to J.K. Rowling's spellbinding series is not for the faint of heart - such revelations, battles, and betrayals await in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows that no fan will make it to the end unscathed. Luckily, Rowling has prepped loyal readers for the end of her series by doling out increasingly dark and dangerous tales of magic and mystery, shot through with lessons about honor and contempt, love and loss, and right and wrong.

The long-awaited, eagerly anticipated, arguably over-hyped Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has arrived, and the question on the minds of kids, adults, fans, and skeptics alike is, "Is it worth the hype?" The answer, luckily, is simple: yep. A magnificent spectacle more than worth the price of admission, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will blow you away.

OrlandoSentinel: An 800-word Harry Potter prequel is one of 13 card-sized works to be sold at a charity auction in London. Waterstone's Booksellers Ltd. says the cream-colored A5 papers - each slightly bigger than a postcard - were distributed to 13 authors and illustrators, including the boy wizard's creator J.K. Rowling, Nobel Prize winner Doris Lessing, novelist Margaret Atwood and playwright Tom Stoppard. Rowling used both sides of her card to hand-write a prequel to her seven-book Harry Potter saga.

MuggleNet.com: JK Rowling and Warner Bros. are currently involved in a court case against RDR Books and the HP Lexicon regarding a print version of the online Lexicon. Some of Jo's main reasons for taking legal action against this book are that she feels it is in breach of copyright of the Harry Potter novels, is not worthwhile to the reader (in that it provides very little commentary, most of which is "derisory" and "facetious"), and that it could detrimentally affect sales of an all-inclusive encyclopedia which she has long expressed a desire to write and from which sales revenue would be donated to charity.
