We're #1!
Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince has been named this years most anticipated movie by MovieFone. This most likely has nothing to do with the fact that Time Warner owns AOL, MovieFone, and Warner Brothers. And the fact that Warner Brothers makes Harry Potter films. No, this is not product placement at all. It is just a way to push movie goers in the right direction. Anyway, just a fun fact for you guys!

Slughorn Speaks!
The LA Time has a new interview with actor Jim Broadbent who plays Horace Slughorn. In This interview he says "[Horace is] a good man, a decent man, but a weak man." This, if you ask me, is an amazing way to describe Slughorn. I think than Jim will be one of the best actors in the Harry Potter films. He seems to know that character as well as the other adult actors in the Harry Potter films. These actors include: Gary Oldman (Sirius), Alan Rickman (Snape), Emma Thompson (Trawlaney), Maggie Smith (Mcgonagall), Miranda Richardson (Rita Skeeter), Kenneth Branagh (Lockhart), Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort), and the late Richard Harris (Dumbledore). Anyway, THREE CHEERS FOR JIM!

Taylor Lautner Keeps the Part!
There was a rumor that Taylor Lautner would not be returning to New Moon. But all you Taylor Lautner fans (like me) can relax. Chris Weitz, the director of the new movie had this to say
"Weitz noted there has been speculation about whether Lautner could portray the character who goes through many changes physically, including growing taller and bulkier and aging 10 years. The 16-year-old Lautner has been spending time in the gym, trying to add 19 pounds of muscle.
Weitz added that Lautner is "emotionally right" for the part."
