It’s that time of the year again when we discuss the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Penned by J.K. Rowling, the Harry Potter books were something iconic that changed the genre of magic and spells. The faithful film adaptations added more charm to the books and made Rowling worldwide famous.
With iconic characters Harry, Ron, and, Hermione on a quest to save the world, the characters were quite phenomenal in their own way. Well…most of them. Ron Weasely, portrayed by Rupert Grint, could have been more than a third-wheel but it was Rowling’s emotional choice that saved Ron Weasely from trauma (and character development)!

Emma Watson, known for her role in the enormously successful Harry Potter series, raised an eyebrow when Warner Bros. decided to split the final film into two parts. Despite the hefty paycheck involved, Watson couldn’t shake off suspicions that the move was nothing but a cash grab. It seemed like Warner Bros. was capitalizing on the hype, leaving the actress feeling a bit skeptical about the whole situation.

Jk Rowling’s Harry Potter franchise is one of the highest-grossing film franchises in the world. Based on seven novels in the series, the films starred Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint as the leading trio and saw fans grow up along with the children in the films. The films and novels were an international phenomenon at the time of release.
While the main storyline ended with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, the studio reportedly wanted to begin a spinoff franchise to expand the franchise.

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling called out Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson for “[using] their platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors.”
On Wednesday, when a social media user wrote to Rowling, “Just waiting for Dan and Emma to give you a very public apology … safe in the knowledge that you will forgive them” for their previous support of trans rights, Rowling responded, “Not safe, I’m afraid.”
She wrote, “Celebs who cozied up to a movement intent on eroding women’s hard-won rights and who used their platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors can save their apologies for traumatized detransitioners and vulnerable women reliant on single-sex spaces.”
Neither Radcliffe nor Watson ever asked or implied a need for Rowling’s forgiveness.

J.K. Rowling is an author who has made several generations happy with her Harry Potter series, which was later adapted into a successful movie series. A TV series adaptation is on the way, but while the series itself is still one of the most beloved ones, the author has been a topic of debate for several years now due to her views on the transgender community and their issues. Recently, the feud deepened as Rowling attacked Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, the two stars of the movie series because they had criticized her in their comments.
In short, Rowling has been quite open about her opposition to the transgender movement, criticizing some of its postulates as degrading toward actual women. While the author has been criticized for her opinions, she remains firm in stating that she is simply defending basic women’s rights from potential abuse. This resulted in many...

Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton), the resident Hogwarts bad boy, was hardly a character fans fawned over during the Harry Potter craze of the early 2000s. He wasn’t the hero, nor was he the mastermind villain. He was a low-tier antagonist; a schoolyard bully who was always overshadowed by the Gryffindor trio — Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione (Emma Watson), and Ron (Rupert Grint). And yet, years after the final movie’s release and despite 31 minutes of screen time across the entire franchise, Draco Malfoy has somehow transcended his role as a minor villain and become a true fan favorite. So, what

Even though many who grew up watching the movies or reading books may now be full-fledged adults, they still haven’t forgotten their experiences with these pieces of popular culture.

Broadcaster India Willoughby has claimed that she reported “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling to the police over alleged transphobia.
In an interview with Byline TV on Wednesday night, Willoughby — a former “Celebrity Big Brother” contestant and “Loose Women” co-host — claimed that she reported Rowling to Northumbria Police for repeatedly misgendering her online as part of an ongoing feud.
“J.K. Rowling has definitely committed a crime. I’m legally a woman. She knows I’m a woman, and she called me a man,” Willoughby said in the interview. “It’s a protected characteristic, and that is a breach of both the Equalities Act and the Gender Recognition Act.

J.K. Rowling criticized Sky News on X (formerly Twitter) after the British television news channel posted a story about a 26-year-old being jailed for murder and referred to her as a “woman” and not a transgender woman.
Scarlet Blake was found guilty last week of murdering a man four months after she live-streamed a video in which she killed a cat. The judge said Blake was somewhat inspired by the Netflix documentary “Don’t F*** With Cats.” Blake was charged in the death of Jorge Martin Carreno, whom she hit and pushed into the River Cherwell in Oxford in July 2021. Blake is a transgender woman. The BBC reports that Blake will serve a life sentence in a men’s prison.

Harry Potter and Twilight are two of the biggest young-adult film franchises of all time, and they put Daniel Radcliffe and Robert Pattinson on the map.
Interestingly, the blockbusters also signify near misses for one actor who auditioned for the chance to play both Harry Potter and Edward Cullen.
Daniel was only 11 years old when he portrayed the beloved boy wizard alongside Emma Watson and Rupert Grint in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in 2000.
Eight years later, Robert was 22 when he was cast as the lead glittering vampire alongside Kristen Stewart in the first Twilight movie.
The franchises featured large and talented casts, and there’s a common thread between them – an actor who landed supporting roles in both after auditioning for the lead. He opened up about the experience in an interview.

Many actors often make headlines for keeping props from the set of movies or shows (usually after filming is wrapped) to keep as memorabilia. Charlie Hunnam, star of Sons of Anarchy and Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon, is among those who confessed to following such a tradition. But he may have gone a tad bit overboard with his pursuit. Hunnam apparently “stole everything” from his uber-popular FX crime drama series, especially from the costume department!

Chris Columbus, who already made a mark in Hollywood with Home Alone, impressed Rowling and Warner Bros. and secured the directing gig.

Harry Potter recruited veteran star Helena Bonham Carter to portray Bellatrix Lestrange in the wizard series. But she admitted that it wasn’t easy at first trying to be intimidating while waving a stick around.
What Helena Bonham Carter felt about waving her ‘Harry Potter’ wand Helena Bonham Carter | Fred Duval/FilmMagic
Bonham Carter took her wand-waving seriously in the Harry Potter franchise. Not only did she practice extensively with the prop, but she went to school for it as well.
“We went to wand school for about three weeks,” Bonham Carter once told Entertainment Weekly. “We took it very very seriously. I actually got a wand blister on the [middle] finger. They kind of had different names for all the different moves, Latin ones. It was sort of based on fencing. You also always have to have an intention behind the spell.”

The 2010 San Diego Comic-Con was not the biggest gathering in the event's history, but in terms of its importance as a movie marketing event, this was the freakin' year. The gargantuan, hangar-sized Hall H, christened in 2004 as the home for star-studded studio panels, was packed on both peak days as major stars and filmmakers shilled the next two years' most anticipated genre titles. Friday was all about "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," which, with all its major stars present, turned into a shriek-filled presentation as deafening as The Beatles' 1964 appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show."
And then there was Saturday.
Warner Bros. kicked off the Hall H festivities with a buzzy panel that could've matched the "Twilight" delirium had the main Harry Potter trio of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint showed up for the "Deathly Hallows: Part I" preview. The day threatened to descend into chaos when a...

Harry Potter and Twilight are two of the biggest young-adult film franchises of all time, and they put Daniel Radcliffe and Robert Pattinson on the map.
Both blockbusters also signify near misses for one actor who auditioned for the chance to play Harry Potter and Edward Cullen.

Eight years later, Robert was 22 when he was cast as the glittering vampire lead alongside Kristen Stewart in the first Twilight movie.

At the news of “Harry Potter” alum Michael Gambon’s death, his castmates have taken to social media to memorialize his performance as Albus Dumbledore in six of the eight films adapted from J.K. Rowling’s book series.
The author wrote about her first memory of Gambon, which involved his performance in “King Lear” in 1982.
“If you’d told me then that brilliant actor would appear in anything I’d written, I’d have thought you were insane. Michael was a wonderful man in additional to being an outstanding actor,” Rowling wrote. “I absolutely loved working with him, not only on Potter but also The Casual Vacancy. My deepest condolences go to Michael’s family and everyone who loved him.”

Jk Rowling and Harry Potter actors are recalling memories of sharing a set with Michael Gambon following his death on Thursday at the age of 82.
The Irish-English actor replaced the late Richard Harris as Professor Albus Dumbledore in 2003 and went on to star in six of the eight Harry Potter films.
Harry Potter author Rowling led tributes to Gambon, telling her followers on Twitter (now known as X) that she could not believe that he was embodying one of her characters.
“The first time I ever laid eyes on him was in King Lear, in 1982, and if you’d told me then that brilliant actor would appear in anything I’d written, I’d have thought you were insane,” she said. “Michael was a wonderful man in additional to being an outstanding actor, and I absolutely loved working with him.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was a transitional film for the franchise. The young cast, including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, were getting older, and the kid’s movie style of the first two movies would have to be abandoned to reflect an aging cast and fanbase. It helped that J.K Rowling’s book, which introduced fan favorite Sirius Black (to be played by Gary Oldman), was notably darker than the previous volumes.
To that end, Chris Columbus stepped aside as director, and Warner Bros brought in Alfonso Cuarón. While he’s nearly a household name now, at the time, Cuaron was only known for the well-regarded family film A Little Princess and Y tu mamá también. In the end, he proved to be an inspired choice, with many lauding the film as one of the franchise’s best instalments and a high watermark for the movies to follow.
