Nye looked to Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter books by J.K Rowling as an example where a strong literary female character is "dumbed down" in the filmic version In the books, Hermione had solved cases, but in the films, her importance was minimized and her actions were shifted away from her character Block added[...]

See the magical world of Harry Potter in a whole new way with a new illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone With art by Jim Kay, this full-color hardcover edition retells the original 1998 story by J K Rowling that introduced us to the young Harry Potter, his friends Hermione and Ron[...]

It combines seminal geek elements like The Hobbit with slightly more recent accents of Legends of Zelda and Harry Potter, and rounds that off with a nod to current fandoms like Game of Thrones, How to Train Your Dragon and Once Upon a Time. I know that when Bleeding Cool's staff writer Christine Marie reads this,[...]

In July of 2014, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter expanded globally, opening at Universal Studios Japan in Osaka, and domestically with the opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley, the highly anticipated expansion at Universal Orlando Resort, creating the world's first centrally themed, multi-park experience and expanding The Wizarding World[...]

Based in the world of Harry Potter, Scamander is the Wizarding World's preeminent magizoologist, who in his travels has encountered and documented a myriad of magical creatures, ultimately leading to his penning the Hogwarts School textbook Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. J.K Rowling will be making her screenwriting debut with this movie and it will be[...]

Sometimes, out of nowhere, I will suddenly feel the insane urge to watch all of the Harry Potter movies Well, today was one of those days, and since I can't toss all of my work aside to watch them, I decided to make this weeks theme a Potter-iffic one! 1 Harry Potter The Marauder's Map Full/Queen[...]

Harry Potter and his friends from Hogwarts will also be released in 2015. The Fabrikations sub brand is being expanded with Groot, Darth Vader, Baymax, Hulk, Thor, and Captain America New materials are being utilized to allow for my characters to be made in this line. #gallery-2 { margin: auto; } #gallery-2 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-2 img { border:[...]

There was one day where they teased upcoming art prints so it had 3 images that day… but we got some Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Harry Potter, Terminator, Red Sonja and Aliens previews to look forward to.   Since Christmas day Sideshow Collectibles[...]

A huge (have you seen the size of the halls in the NEC?) two-day event mixing TV and film memorabilia with comic and anime culture and a healthy procession of cosplayers, this is a popular event and this close to Christmas a good opportunity to grab some geeky gifts while soaking in the myriad of[...]

However, I will say that I am more interested in Olive's character and what has happened in her life thus far. As I was reading, I found myself thinking about Harry Potter and the well known setting his books took place in, Hogwarts I suspect that the writers of Gotham Academy, Cloonan and Fletcher, will have[...]

Frazer Brown writes for Bleeding Cool Daniel Radcliffe turned 25 this week (feeling old yet?) he was in Hall H promoting his upcoming movie, Horns, which

I thought it was odd that the Wizarding World of Harry Potter didn't start with Diagon Alley, the Hogwarts Express, etc when it first opened Instead, it went with Hogsmeade, which I guess is better for merchandising and restaurants and such. But now Diagon Alley is finally coming to Universal Studios in Florida and a whole[...]

Warner Bros is obviously not treating Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them as some second-rate Harry Potter spinoff, and have approached top talent to direct the first film. Alfonso Cuaron arguably made the best Harry Potter picture, Prisoner of Azkaban, and is now rumored to be "deep in talks" to return to the wizarding world[...]

So last month...

How big of a Harry Potter fan are you? I think this bit of news will test that Deadline reports JK Rowling has posted a new piece of Harry Potter-related writing online, for free, and it's called… History of the Quidditch World Cup. Quiddith is obviously a huge part of the franchise and the matches were[...]

We all knew there was going to be more Harry Potter, it just makes business sense for the still incredibly lucrative franchise to continue, and a stage version seems like an easy fit, but I wonder how much interest there is in a pre-Hogwarts prequel, like this new show seems to be. The good news is[...]

It asks the question I didn't see enough stories ask: how come we don't see magic schools outside of fancy neighborhoods or whimsical fantasy lands? What if someone took a twist on the traditional "slay the dragon" story and made it about getting out of a crappy school surrounded by hood rats and miscreants? Kind[...]

That Warner Bros has trademarked Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them for everything (including comic books) under the sun is unsurprising, with the news of an upcoming JK Rowling-written spinoff movie. But it's not the only Potter-related trademark, that may point to future projects.

Here is the new poster for Hangover 3, which is riffing on one of the most iconic Harry Potter posters. Ken Jeong is clearly being set up as the main antagonist if this poster has any actual implications for the film. It seems unlikely we'll really see Las Vegas in a ball of flames, though… I think[...]

Harry Potter author J.K Rowling's first novel for adults, The Casual Vacancy, was published at the end of September and barely two months later has been commissioned for an exclusive TV adaptation by BBC One and BBC Drama. The novel is a tragicomedy set in an English suburban West Country town called Pagford After the death[...]

I'm not the biggest fan of running infographics on Bleeding Cool. Usually a barely-disguised advert for something trying to get free coverage with little

From that quite spectacular Olympic Ceremony tonight, we saw Voldemort amongst other villains from British children's literature, such as the

Tomorrow, Americans get their dirty hands on League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen Century 2009 by Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill. I've had a copy for a week

Which also helps portray the whole experience as a wand-based game of Halo, a Harry Potter video game, a rather wonderful side effect that condemns the franchise as nothing more than a shoot-em-up, lacking in literary depth, yet embraced by all as if that doesn't matter Which suddenly makes me reinterpret the opening scene with[...]

The Independent On Sunday, tomorrow's edition of the serious minded British newspaper, has splashed with the headline that Harry Potter is the anti-Christ… Or at least he is in the final chapter of The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century, 2009. The 1969 chapter saw the fictitious practitioner of the occult, and central antagonist of the Century[...]

Still, I had a chance to get a good look at some of the sets, and even put together this gallery of camera-phone images for anyone who might be interested in taking the tour. The first thing that should be said is that if you're a fan of the Harry Potter books and series, you should[...]

Yesterday I went on a speedrun through the new Warner Bros Studio Tour of the Harry Potter sets, which concluded with a series of interviews with the creative minds behind the films One of these minds was David Yates, who will soon be reunited with Potter star Emma Watson for Your Voice in My Head,[...]
