There’s been quite an explosion of new casting and production new for HP stars lately, so MuggleNet is bringing you a round up of the most important news. Today we’ll be touching upon the recent developments of Emma Thompson (Sybill Trelawney), Alexandre Desplat (Composer), Ralph Fiennes (Lord Voldemort), Frank Dillane (Tom Riddle), Domhnall Gleeson (Bill Weasley), Gary Oldman (Sirius Black), David Thewlis (Remus Lupin) and more!
This past Thursday Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima of MinaLima hosted a special event on the graphic art of the “Harry Potter” films. Their talk began with a quick showreel of their graphic design work on Potter, before going to into greater detail on creation of their favorite pieces and the processes behind making them. The time and detail put into behind every piece of work is clear, but what was perhaps most surprising was the thought process behind every design, usually informed by lengthy research and particularly inspired by the characters.

I have to admit that when I heard the news of a potential Harry Potter stage show about Harry’s childhood with the Dursleys I was not very excited, which in turn made me feel really disappointed. As a longtime Potter fan, I wanted to be excited about the possibility of getting more from the wizarding world, but the idea of seeing more of Harry’s childhood held little interest for me. In fact, the more I consider it the more upset I become with the idea of Harry’s upbringing, and I’ve begun to wonder who should be held accountable for allowing him to live in such poor physical and emotional conditions.

The Sunday Times is today reporting that in an unexpected move J.K. Rowling has reversed her thoughts on a particularly sensitive Potter issue that recently sent waves across the fandom.

The quotes provided by the Times, however, detail more about Jo’s writing choices than the disputed topic at hand.
