Emma Thompson (Trelawney) in a recent interview with the San Francisco Chronicle about her upcoming film, Last Chance Harvey, gave more detail to the issue of her supposedly choosing Nanny McPhee over Sybil Trelawney, when HP and McPhee were scheduled to be filmed at the same time.

"I wasn't being rude at all," says Thompson, who adds that she loves Sybil. "It's so typical, where they take something very, very small and turn it into a big deal. I was never going to be in the next 'Harry Potter'. I sort of put that to bed."

It's like what Vanessa said, does she want a supporting role, or a main role? Really think on that one...

Happy New Year!!!!

Happy 2009 guys!

Isaacs Tortures Self to Prepare for HBP(?)

The guy tortures himself? Yeah, it's that intense. Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy) is really into this role. He recently gave an interview with Ain't It Cool News stating that:

"...Harry Potter, it's been such an enormous part of my life for years now, and almost everything I do, I knock myself out to try and make things real-- I research them, I over-research them... I steep myself in it and torture myself at night trying to make something interesting and believable and human... You really have to hit the ground running."

But there's a lot more than Harry Potter in this interview, click on the link above to get the scoop on Isaacs.

Daniel Radcliffe named Broadway Star of the Year

Forgive me if I'm a bit distracted, Toontown is very addicting... But here's what's up: Dan Radcliffe has been named Broadway Star of the year by Broadway.com in their end of the year wrap ups.

Here's Dan's reaction: "That's really, really amazing! The Broadway community has been incredibly welcoming and this sort of sums it up, really. In a year where there has been some really big performances on Broadway, to have been nominated and win is really, really cool!"

Does this guy say "really" a lot, or is that me? But hey! He's excited, and it's a big thing. Congrats Dan!

Empire Magazine releases new HBP photos

The Empire Magazine February issue recently did a feature on top movies of 2009, and how can Harry Potter not be a part of that? In the article, included was a photo of the Weasley twins (James and Oliver Phelps) at Weasley Wizard Wheezes, talking to David Yates (director). In the bottom, right hand corner there is also a photo of the trio plus Slughorn in the Three Broomsticks. Check out the picture to your left.

Interesting Fact: Notice how "Magical Mayhem" and "Disastrous" are on the walls of WWW? It's right under the railway.
