The cloisters, famous for their part in the Harry Potter films, played host to 19 choristers aged between seven and 13 from the choir school on Friday night. The boys usually have a hectic schedule singing evensong in the Cathedral six evenings a week as well as daily rehearsals. But to give them some fun time during the half-term break, chorister tutor William Armiger organised the All Saints Vigil. Mr Armiger, who also spent the night in the freezing stone corridors said the event had been a success.

LONDON–James Bond did just what you’d expect from a tough-as-nails spy on the weekend: kicked Harry Potter’s butt. The movie Quantum of Solace, the latest in the Bond film series, debuted in Great Britain on Friday to record one-day ticket sales of 4. 94 million pounds ($9. 6 million), according to distributor Columbia Pictures. That tops Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the previous record holder with $7.

I wonder if they realized that they’d meandered into a culture war mine field. The Harry Potter books were extemely controversial.

The content engine is back on track and sales of key new IP have surpassed expectations. Its notable ERTS maintained its FY09 rev guidance despite the push-out of 2 key games and the stronger dollar trend which shifts FX from a tailwind to a headwind. Consumer demand is clearly uncertain right now but retailers like Walmart and Tesco are increasing their shelf space this Holiday Season which shows confidence in the category.
