Vampire film could rival `Harry Potter’ franchise
Los Angeles Daily News, CA 
” When fans will almost literally go through fire to spend time with their favorite characters, that’s what you call a phenomenon. “Twilight” is based on the first of a best-selling series of novels published in 2005 by Stephenie Meyer, a Mormon housewife from Utah with little writing experience. Now, the story of the small-town and, above all, chaste romance between young Bella Swan, played by 18-year-old Kristen Stewart and the gentlemanly vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson, 22) is shaping up as a multimedia phenomenon that might rival the “Harry Potter” franchise. To date, the series’ four books have sold 8. 5 million copies in America and millions more worldwide, and other merchandise has been flying off bookstore shelves, as well. The seven-volume Potter series has sold 400 million copies worldwide. “When reading it, it gives you butterflies,” Chanel Paulk of Anaheim Hills explained, holding a handmade sign reading “Bite Me” that Advertisement.

The actress was joined by Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean at a star-studded opening party for Somerset House ice rink season in London. The event runs until January 25 in association with Tiffany & Co. Watson turned on the lights on the Tiffany Christmas tree decorated with huge blue ice skates. She said she was “absolutely delighted” to be officially performing the switch-on.

A bit too wild about Harry Potter?
Christian Science Monitor, MA 
Parents, of course, want their kids to learn to love to read. But could it really be a good thing for anyone to obsess over any books the way some young readers do over Harry Potter?This is a question you may find yourself asking as you watch “We Are Wizards,”.

How Paramount let ‘Twilight’ get away
Los Angeles Times, CA 
She had some trepidation, not being especially excited after her first studio experience, so we really made an effort to make her comfortable with our approach. “Summit brought in a new writer, Melissa Rosenberg, to write an adaptation, which in turn attracted the interest of Hardwicke. Friedman said Summit took great pains to keep Meyer involved, as Warner Bros. has done with “Harry Potter” creator J. “We’ve worked with her in lock step from Day One,” he says.

Lack of conformity makes for magical night
Statesville Record & Landmark,  USA 
No wonder Art Linkletter’s shows were so popular. My oldest daughter attended a Halloween party several weeks ago at a retirement home. Claire has been on a Harry Potter kick for a while now, and decided she wanted to dress as Harry Potter for Halloween. Not Professor McGonagall, Ginny Weasley nor even Hermione. She had to be Harry. We even suggested Harriet Potter, the long-lost younger sister, but only Harry himself would do. So we got her a Harry Potter costume and, with an eyeliner lightning bolt and a decorated stick as a wand, off she went to the Halloween party.

Just a few months ago, Warner yanked Potter from its November 21 date and pushed all the way into July 2009. Electronics subsequently made the same move with its game for PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii based on the movie. The “official” reason for the move was to fill in a summer slate hit hard by the writer’s strike earlier this year. The irony is Warner has stated this new Potter trailer will go live in theaters attached to prints of Twilight.

The movie is now up against Disney’s animated film Bolt, which is unlikely to lure the teen girls that should be Twilight’s core audience.

wearewizards-themovie. It’s highly enjoyable even if (like me) you’re not much of a Potterphile. Starting with the “Wizard Rock” scene that has produced the warring indie bands Harry and the Potters (representing the forces of good, quite obviously) and their evil counterparts Draco and the Malfoys, Koury gradually moves on to more extreme phenomena like the self-described “Partridge Family of Wizard Rock,” actually a noise-metal band whose lead singer was 7 years old at the time of filming. Then there’s the genuinely inspirational saga of Heather Lawver, a teenage Web entrepreneur who has battled both Warner Bros. and a life-threatening cancer, sparking a worldwide boycott of Potter products.

Weird Cases: suing judges
Times Online, UK 
And trouble is what Canadian advocate Kimberly Townley-Smith now faces. In 2005, Townley-Smith represented the folk group Wyrd Sisters in a $40million lawsuit against Warner Bros. The Winnipeg group alleged that thecompany, which makes the Harry Potter films, had appropriated their band’sname for Weird Sisters, a group featured in Harry Potter and the Gobletof Fire. The claim failed as the court decided that the folk group wasunlikely to be confused with the rock group in the film, which is speltdifferently. Dissatisfied, Ms Townley-Smith pursued three judges involved in the case andsued them for conspiracy alleging that they had been involved in a sinister“dysfunction” against her client. She demanded $21 million in damages forconspiracy, fraud, misrepresentation, abuse of process, and abuse of publicoffice. Ms Townley-Smith accused the judges of skulduggery, lying, andfixing the case.

One of them was Bakkies Botha, who with 100 percent vision restored to both eyes, watched his team-mates go through a mercifully short session at the Fettes College fields on the outskirts of Edinburgh. In another obscure record of sorts, the players were probably at the most expensive school they have ever trained at. This exclusive and ancient establishment looks like Harry Potter’s school and at ?50 000 (around R790 000) a year, it boasts among its old boys current Prime Minister Gordon Brown and his predecessor, Tony Blair. The latter took full part in the session, while Botha is one follow-up examination by a specialist away from being available for selection after his eye was gouged by a Welshman. The sun actually shone for the first time since the Boks arrived at Heathrow Airport on November 1, but the gale blowing in from the North Sea chilled observers to the bone. Later, back at the Boks’ hotel on the Royal Mile that leads up to the castle overlooking the city, Peter de Villiers said there would be no policy of rotation on this tour and that if a player came into the starting line-up, it would be a form issue (presumably also for the player making way).

If you look at the commentson Greta’s website regarding the interview, one person smears Sarah saying she doesn’t even know when sheserved in relation to the release of the book: 1997. Well to thatperson, Sarah had the issue with the librarian in 1996 and the bookwas not out in 1996, yet she is being blamed for asking for HarryPotter to be banned from the library.

DOCU STARS HARRY POTTER
New York Post, NY 
If they haven't made a movie about your nerdy passion, they will soon. Now comes a new documentary about people who really, really adore the world's most famous magician - and we're not talking about David Blaine. "We Are Wizards," opening Friday, features a group of fans who take their love of Harry Potter far beyond reading the books. In fact, some of these people love the bespectacled mage so much, they've created an entire genre of music in his honor. It's called Wizard Rock, and there are literally dozens of bands in America right now that do nothing but write and perform songs about or inspired by Harry Potter. "We Are Wizards" introduces us to the founders of the movement, brothers Paul and Joe DeGeorge, whose band Harry and the Potters began as a goof but has grown into a sensation - a sensation that mainly plays public libraries, but a sensation nonetheless. We also meet The Hungarian Horntails, a seven-year-old who, (along with his four-year-old brother) tentatively strums an electric guitar and screams songs about dragons into a microphone.
