J.K. Rowling on U.S. Book Tour

Posted at MSN.com:

J.K. Rowling is going on the road.

The British-born "Harry Potter" author will give four readings in the United States this fall, her first U.S. promotional tour since 2000, when she was just becoming an international sensation and had yet to give birth to her second and third children.

"What J.K. Rowling loves most is to talk with her readers, and that is what she will be able to do on this very special U.S. tour," Lisa Holton, president of Scholastic Trade and Book Fairs, said Thursday in a statement.

Rowling's seventh and final Potter book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," comes out July 21, but will surely remain deep in her fans' hearts when she arrives in the United States in October.

On Oct. 15, she will read at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles, followed three days later by an appearance at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, then two readings Oct. 19 at New York's Carnegie Hall. Rowling, 41, will take questions at each of the readings and sign books.

Don't bother rushing for tickets. For three of the readings, Scholastic will pick schools to send children. For the fourth reading, at Carnegie Hall, 1,000 fans will be chosen from a Scholastic sweepstakes, with each winner receiving two passes.

Details on the sweepstakes will be available July 30 on http://www.scholastic.com/harrypotter.

Universal to Open Harry Potter Theme Park!

Source: Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc

 

Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. and Universal Orlando Resort are partnering to create the world's first fully immersive Harry Potter themed environment based on the bestselling books by J.K. Rowling and blockbuster feature films from Warner Bros. Envisioned as a "theme park within a theme park" and titled "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" (see photos below!), the new environment will become part of the experience within Universal's Islands of Adventure theme park at the Universal Orlando Resort.

"Over the years we've received thousands of letters from fans around the world wishing they could visit Hogwarts and the wonderful locations described in each of J.K. Rowling's beloved stories," said Barry Meyer, chairman and CEO, Warner Bros. Entertainment. "Working with Universal Orlando Resort, we are confident that we'll be able to provide
Harry Potter fans with an incredible experience that upholds the richness of J.K. Rowling's books and delivers on the authentic detail portrayed in our films."

"We will rely on our company's rich movie heritage and expertise in transforming film concepts into theme park entertainment experiences," said Ron Meyer, president and COO,
Universal Studios. "The Harry Potter stories are among the most compelling of our time. The millions of people who have read the books and seen the movies will now be able to experience the world of Harry Potter in person."

Inspired by J.K. Rowling's compelling stories and characters - and faithful to the visual landscapes of the
films - "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" will provide a one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience the magical world of Harry and his friends. The fully immersive, themed land will enable guests to visit some of the most iconic locations found in the books and the films including the village of Hogsmeade, the mysterious Forbidden Forest, and even Hogwarts castle itself.

"The plans I've seen look incredibly exciting, and I don't think fans of the
books or films will be disappointed," said J.K. Rowling.

"We have a profound sense of responsibility for the Harry Potter franchise at
Warner Bros. Bringing the magic of J.K. Rowling's written word to the motion picture screen was the first step in expanding this amazing and imaginative world. Working with Universal Orlando Resort to bring it to life in a physical environment that you can walk through, relax in and ride on is the natural next step for fans to experience and enjoy," said Alan Horn, president and COO, Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.

Expected to open in late 2009, the new environment will feature immersive rides and interactive attractions, as well as experiential shops and restaurants that will enable guests to sample fare from the wizarding world's best known establishments. Also debuting will be a state-of-the-art attraction that will bring the magic, characters and stories of Harry Potter to life in an exciting way that guests have never before experienced.

"We are going to devote more time, more money, more expertise and more executive talent from throughout our entire organization and creative team - as well as from Warner Bros., our partners - to ensure that this entire environment is second-to-none," said Tom Williams, chairman and CEO, Universal Parks and Resorts.

Brad Globe, president of Warner Bros. Worldwide Consumer Products, added: "In Universal, we found the right partner whose unparalleled commitment will ensure that this is a world class destination. Their track record of success and the consistently high level of entertainment at all of their parks gave us the confidence to know that they will meet -- or exceed -- the extremely high expectations we all have for this project."

The Academy Award-winning production designer Stuart Craig, who has worked to bring the world of Harry Potter to life in all of the feature films to date, leads the creative design for the area to ensure it remains faithful to the look and feel of the films.

"Our primary goal is to make sure this experience is an authentic extension of Harry Potter's world as it is portrayed in the books and films," said Craig. "I am very excited to be working closely with the Universal Orlando team to bring the area to life."

Daniel Signs!

 

LONDON (Reuters) - British actor Daniel Radcliffe has signed up for the final two films in the seven-part Harry Potter series, his spokeswoman said on Friday.

 

The 17-year-old, who has just won rave reviews for his performance in Peter Shaffer's controversial play "Equus," will start filming the sixth movie based on the bestselling books by J.K. Rowling in September, she added. Radcliffe shot to fame in 2001 when he appeared as the boy wizard in the first Harry Potter film. The hit franchise, which continues with the fifth installment called "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" later this year, has amassed around $3.5 billion globally at the box office and turned the teenager into a multi-millionaire. Rowling recently announced that the seventh and final book in the series, called "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" will be published on July 21, but it is not clear when the film version will be made. The first six books have sold in excess of 325 million copies worldwide. Movie commentators had wondered if Radcliffe could sustain the role of Potter throughout the film franchise, and whether the raunchy publicity shots of Radcliffe for "Equus" would alienate him from his core fan base.

Final 'Harry Potter' Title Announced

 

 The Associated Press announced that we now have a title for Book VII:

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows."  Rowling's U.S. publisher, Scholastic, Inc.,

released a brief statement Thursday announcing the name of the world's most

anticipated children's book, the finale to her phenomenally popular fantasy series.

No publication date or other details were offered. Rowling is still working on the book,

she wrote on her Web site in an entry posted early Thursday. "I'm now writing scenes

that have been planned, in some cases, for a dozen years or even more," she wrote.

"I don't think anyone who has not been in a similar situation can possibly know how

this feels: I am alternately elated and overwrought. I both want, and don't want, to

finish this book (don't worry, I will.)" Meanwhile, she set up a little game for her

Potter fans. If you go to her home page, click on the eraser and you will be

taken to a room — you'll see a window, a door and a mirror. In the mirror, you'll

 see a hallway. Click on the farthest doorknob and look for the Christmas tree. They

click on the center of the door next to the mirror and a reef appears. Then click on the

 top of the mirror and you'll see a garland. Look for a cobweb next to the door. Click

on it, and it will disappear. Now, look at the chimes in the window. Click on the second

chime to the right, and hold it down. The chime will turn into the key, which opens the

door. Click on the wrapped gift behind the door, then click on it again and figure out

 the title yourself by playing a game of hangman. Or you can just take

Scholastic's word for it.

Harry Potter Images and Details Coming Soon

One the most talked about lines or licenses we have ever acquired is Harry Potter. I am happy to say that the veil of secrecy is about to be lifted. In the next issue of ToyFare magazine ..115 - due out in early January you will get your first look at our initial Harry Potter series. We will have 2 different Potter series running concurrently, ..Harry Potter.. which will include figures from movies/years 1-4 and then our ..Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix.. figures which will focus on the fifth film, Order of the Phoenix exclusively.

The feature in ToyFare will give you a first look at "Harry Potter" Series 1. Get ready for figures of Death Eaters, Lord Voldemort, and Harry of course. I'm really proud of this first set of figures and I can't wait to see/read/hear your thoughts on them.

We are well into development for Order of the Phoenix and more classic characters for future installments of the "Harry Potter" line.

Thanks for your patience and in a few weeks your wait will be rewarded as you see and hear more about what we have in store from the world of Harry Potter.

A New HP Mini Bust?

 

GGC and VoldemortsVault.com reader Ryan reported in that he found this article on-line about Gentle Giant Studios and in it they mention a  Harry Potter Grindylow Mini Bust and have several prototype pictures posted as well.

 

According to the article Scott from Gentle Giant Studios says, "I did a Grindylow a character from Harry Potter which is now a figure from Gentle Giant Ltd. The whole idea was for me to show that ZBrush was an effective sculpting tool for creating recognizable characters from concepts or photos. The guys were so thrilled with the results of this test it became a product.". It looks great but no word yet if this ever made it to the final table for production. You can read the article here and view some pictures below! Big Thanks to Ryan for the report!

WARNER BROS. CONSUMER PRODUCTS AWARDS
THE CARDS INC. GROUP MASTER EUROPEAN TOY LICENSE FOR
THE HARRY POTTER SERIES
 

Burbank, Calif., July 31st, 2006 -- Warner Bros. Consumer Products announced today a
multi-year licensing agreement that has named The Cards Inc. Group master toy licensee for the Harry Potter property throughout all of Europe.  The Cards Inc. Group is a leading distributor and manufacturer of trading cards, games, toys and collectables in the UK and throughout Europe. 

 The Cards Inc. Group will create toys and collectables inspired by the creatures, characters and themes from the Harry Potter stories.  The first range of product is based on Warner Bros. Pictures’ latest Harry Potter feature film installment, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which is set to hit theatres beginning in July 2007.  The product will launch in conjunction with the film. 

“We are thrilled to be able to bring one of our most important franchises together with a leading manufacturer like The Cards Inc. Group,” says Pilar Zulueta, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Warner Bros. Consumer Products’ Europe, Middle East and Africa.  “The enormous popularity of Harry Potter combined with the high quality of Cards Inc. products is certain to translate into a highly successful merchandising relationship.” 

“The Harry Potter film series has been a phenomenal success and we are delighted to be working with Warner Bros. Consumer Products to create an exciting toy range that brings the magic of these stories to life for fans of all ages,” said Darren Epstein, MD of The Cards Inc. Group.  “The Cards Inc. Group is well known for innovation in the creation of licensed products, ensuring that the products reflect the licence and audience perfectly.” 

As the Harry Potter series has matured with each subsequent film, so has its audience.  The assortment of products being created by The Cards Inc. Group will therefore be geared not only to appeal to younger fans who are new to the series, but to older, loyal fans who have followed the stories over the years.

The Cards Inc. Group’s range of product offerings inspired by the world of Harry Potter will include a wide selection of role-play action figures, action figure collector and box sets, Magical Creatures collector action figures, electronic role play sets, die cast and remote controlled vehicles and playsets.  Product will be in store from June 2007 onwards.   

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry returns for his fifth year of study at Hogwarts and discovers that much of the wizarding community is in denial about the teenager’s recent encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort, preferring to turn a blind eye to the news that Voldemort has returned.  Fearing that Hogwarts’ venerable Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, is lying about Voldemort’s return in order to undermine his power and take his job, the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, appoints a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher to keep watch over Dumbledore and the Hogwarts students.  But Professor Dolores Umbridge’s Ministry-approved course of defensive magic leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared to defend themselves against the dark forces threatening them and the entire wizarding community.  So, at the prompting of his friends Hermione and Ron, Harry takes matters into his own hands. Meeting secretly with a small group of students who name themselves “Dumbledore’s Army,” Harry teaches them how to defend themselves against the Dark Arts, preparing the courageous young wizards for the extraordinary battle that lies ahead.

Added 7/29/2006: NECA to produce Action Figures - Update-

 

Burbank, Calif., July 26, 2006 -- Warner Bros. Consumer Products announced today a multi-year licensing agreement that names NECA, Inc. the master toy, gift and specialty product licensee for the magical Harry Potter series throughout North America, Latin America and Asia Pacific.

New product is set to roll out in conjunction with Warner Bros. Pictures’ latest Harry Potter feature film installment, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, scheduled to hit theaters beginning in July 2007.

The company will develop a range of gifts, toys and specialty products including collectible action figures, plush, mugs, wall décor and more, all inspired by the characters, creatures and themes from the Harry Potter stories.

As the Harry Potter series has matured with each subsequent film, so has its audience. The assortment of products being created by NECA will therefore be geared to appeal to older, loyal fans that have followed the stories over the years, while still offering something for younger fans that are new to the series.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry returns for his fifth year of study at Hogwarts and discovers that much of the wizarding community is in denial about the teenager’s recent encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort, preferring to turn a blind eye to the news that Voldemort has returned. Fearing that Hogwarts’ venerable Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, is lying about Voldemort’s return in order to undermine his power and take his job, the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, appoints a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher to keep watch over Dumbledore and the Hogwarts students.

But Professor Dolores Umbridge’s Ministry-approved course of defensive magic leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared to defend themselves against the dark forces threatening them and the entire wizarding community. So, at the prompting of his friends Hermione and Ron, Harry takes matters into his own hands. Meeting secretly with a small group of students who name themselves “Dumbledore’s Army,” Harry teaches them how to defend themselves against the Dark Arts, preparing the courageous young wizards for the extraordinary battle that lies ahead.

Added 7/17/2006: Top Sidekicks, Ron and Hermione!

 

Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger are # 11 on the Greatest sidekicks by Entertainment Weekly.

 

When you're a teenage wizard pursued by an evil warlock who killed your parents, it helps to

have friends like these. Without Hermione's brains, Harry would never know which herb or incantation to use. And Ron? Well, he and the Weasley clan have provided Harry with the

one thing he needs the most — family. Also, Ron and Hermione are totally going to

hook up — that is, if they survive J.K. Rowling's seventh volume of the series.
