Prince William, his Catherine, and Prince Harry were in Diagon Alley today picking up some wands. Somewhere there’s a joke in there about Harry and his stick but I’m not clever enough to find it. As you can see, Kate seems terrified by the glow on the end of Harry’s. Lumos! The best, best, BEST of course is Harry at The Burrow. Full Story

The blooming of Neville, or, more accurately, should we say metamorphosis?, was a wonderful distraction from the sadness of The End. Neville got hot!And not just in pictures. In person, Neville was super, super cute. And wore his suit very, very well. I’ve not seen much from Matthew Lewis since summer. Full Story
Best of 2011: Alan Rickman’s letter
As it appeared in EMPIRE: I have just returned from the dubbing studio where I spoke into a microphone as Severus Snape for absolutely the last time. On the screen were some flashback shots of Daniel, Emma, and Rupert from ten years ago. They were 12. I have also recently returned from New York, and while I was there, I saw Daniel singing and dancing (brilliantly) on Broadway. Full Story
The End: behind the scenes
Some stories are meant to be saved for a Friday...On 11.11.11 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 will be available on DVD. The 4 disc Blu-ray version comes with several extra, extra special features including a 48 minute documentary with exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from production. A trailer for the documentary is being passed around online in advance of the release date. Full Story
Ron, Cedric, Draco - Accio 2005!
A reader called Tina just sent me a photo of a little Harry Potter reunion that happened at the Teen Choice Awards last night. I opened the message to find Rupert Grint, Robert Pattinson, and Tom Felton gathered backstage. Cute, right? (Lorella - check the slope.) Anyway, then I started wondering when a picture like this last happened. Full Story
Why is it always Neville?
“Greatest Harry Potter Moments” was trending a while ago Twitter. I’m guessing because ITV aired a Top 50 Harry Potter moments special last night? Thanks @swedishgirlies! Am attaching a short video of Neville describing a few of his experiences. “Why is it always me?” Since there are no new photos of Neville/Matthew Lewis, I thought I’d include some older ones – these are from April 2011 – of Neville with Tonks and Luna and just Luna promoting the DVD release of HP7A in London.

Neville around the world
Who’s getting the biggest career bump from the success of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2? It’s STILL surprising to me that it’s Neville. That Neville, the new “heartthrob” might be, like, some kind of action star one day. Neville! After trips to Toronto, Washington, and Chicago last week to promote the movie, here’s Matthew Lewis in Australia today at the preview for the Harry Potter Exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney.

Neville has chest hair
Everyone is talking about Neville. Everyone is jizzing over Neville’s transformation. Wouldn’t be it be CRAZY if in another 10 years, it’s Neville, I mean Matthew Lewis, who’s, like, on the list of Sexiest Men Alive or something? Never mind. It could totally happen this year. Hilarious. Full Story
Michael Sheen and all his girls
I meant to write about this yesterday but the agency only made these photos available today. At least for blogs. Michael Sheen is in Toronto as his daughter Lily is here with her mother Kate Beckinsale. On Tuesday, Michael and Kate took Lily to the Canadian premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. Full Story
Three days with Neville
I interviewed him at the junket in New York on Sunday and I told him I’d be in his face the next three days because on Monday there was the NYC premiere and then on Tuesday he’d be in Toronto to promote the film and etalk had exclusive access at the after party. He was really sweet about it. Full Story
Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Part 2
Please note the following review is SPOILER HEAVY. You've read the reviews by now. It's getting very, very good reviews. And that's great. Those reviews have been written, mostly, by people who weren't into the books, who see movies for a living and judge them on their merit as an art form. Full Story
Together again for the last time
So here they are, on a carpet for Harry Potter for the very last time, in the sweltering heat of a New York City afternoon. Rupert’s head was totally wet by the time he went into the theatre. Daniel’s too. Emma, stayed remarkably dry. Makes such a difference having bare shoulders out there. Full Story
