Besides Beedle: Rickman, RDR update, ABC Family
With all the news concerning The Tales of Beedle the Bard there have been a few other things of note going on:- Alan Rickman, who plays Severus Snape in the Potter series appeared Wednesday night on Jimmy Kimmel Live. He also did an interview with SciFi.com where he discussed his filming schedule and the impact of the final film:
"Well, it'll be a big finish, won't it? That's true, and appropriately. You can feel it now, the size of the undertaking."
The online magazine also got a hold of producer David Heyman where he discussed the delay of the sixth film and the impact of the decision to split Deathly Hallows.
- On Thursday, RDR Books officially withdrew its appeal of U.S. District Judge Patterson's decision to publish an unauthorized companion novel to the Potter series. J.K. Rowling's public relations agency issued the following statement:
"We are delighted that this matter is finally and favorably resolved and that J.K. Rowling's rights -- and indeed the rights of all authors of creative works -- have been protected," the statement said. "We are also pleased to hear that rather than continue to litigate, RDR have themselves decided to publish a different book prepared with reference to Judge Patterson's decision."
The Muskegon Chronicle goes on to say that in the new book the words "An Unauthorized Guide to Harry Potter Fiction and Related Materials" appears boldly below "The Lexicon" title and above author Steve Vander Ark's name. There is further explanation that neither Rowling nor a host of others with trademarks and other interests in the Harry Potter series had any part in the book.
- Finally, USA Today has written up a preview of ABC Family's Potter weekend which begins tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET. You can expect to see deleted scenes from Goblet of Fire as well as a look into Half-Blood Prince. The paper quotes producer David Heyman on the sixth film:
"It's different than the other films. It's not the non-stop action that some of the others are, although there is some action. It's more of an emotional film."

Laura, you're sexy...1st
You should have posted this as three separate news posts to make it feel like more news. (:
Glad RDR has seen sense. Must be a relief for Jo.
I agree with Ashley (hello, by the way! :D) I do wonder what Steve's book will be like, now... I might consider buying it. I feel sorry for him having to go through that; I felt it was more RDR Books pushing it than him.
We still felt Beedle should be top priority, so we wrapped up the other stories in one post.
mmm Alan Rickman.... ^_^ haha his new movie opens today (Nobel Son) and im going, WOOO!!!!
You all know that I love Alan (obviously...). Good to see him on Kimmel, even though it was all for "Noble Son" (going to matinee tomorrow!) and nothing regarding Snape or HP. Oh well. Reviews for NS have been mixed, although every one states that Alan shines, and he is the redeeming factor in this film. Go Alan! Can't wait to see his Snape in HBP. REALLY CAN'T WAIT.
Glad to see that RDR finally saw the light and decided against further lawsuits. As for HBP not having a lot of action, well, that makes sense, considering that there wasn't much action except towards the end. It was a very thought provoking book, going into details about why Tom Riddle split his soul so many times.
ok people please get all the deleted scenes and previews on youtube because i have finals next week so this weekend is packed.
It makes perfect sense that HBP would be more emotional then action packed. The whole story takes place basically at Hogwarts and centers around Harry's lessons with Dumbledore, Harry being obsesive about where Draco is, and his new intrest in Ginny. It only gets crazy action packed until the end. I'll bet George still feels bad about Draco getting his hands on the instant darkness powder. =(
the interview is hilarious.. way to go alan! :D somehow i can't imagine him riding on a roller coaster either xD;
God, can you believe this? I stayed up all night bored to tears watching these late-night shows...last night. Not the night before. Or I would have seen him! :((( I have the worst luck sometimes, ha
Steve Vander Ark just pushes my buttons! (
Thak you for all the information, and I am ready to see the HP weekend and have a look in all the new in HBP. I can wiat to see the movie in color and sound, well you know what I mean.
: ) He's awesome! : )
I love Alan Rickman sooooo much! It was nice to see him on Jimmy Kimmel. I can't believe they had to wait so long to put this movie in theaters! The had finished this movie like this time LAST year. I hope its playing in a theater near me...!!!!
