Bill Weasley? Or Not Bill Weasley? Domhall Gleeson is the question.


"'I'd been very certain about not wanting to do the acting thing because of my father," he says now. "I thought I'd always have the father-son thing of 'He got you the part." But everything changed when the younger Gleeson read the script of Inishmore at 18". Domhall Gleeson has earned a "2006 Tony nomination for Best Featured Actor in a Play" for his outstanding rendering of a "long-suffering, well-meaning neighbor of an obsessively cat-loving terrorist in The Lieutenant of Inishmore". And ever since he fell in love with the performing arts, Gleeson has had his mind set on higher things. As the son of our very own Mad-Eye Moody (Brendan Gleeson), rumer has it that he might be cast as Bill Weasley for the Deathly Hallows. Will he, or will he not, recieve the honored role? We'll find out soon! Good luck, Gleeson!

Wizard World!!!

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's.....the cement building being built in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Themepark! Opening in 2010, the park will contain a realistic Hogsmeade aswell as the giagantic Hogwarts castle. The castle will be perched magnificantly on a man-made rugged cliff, overlooking the rest of the theme park. Acording to Yesterland.com, who has a new article about the progress of the park, "Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom is huge compared to Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland. It appears that Hogwarts castle will be huge compared to Cinderella Castle". But, for now, all that shows of the future masterpeice is a steel and cement box. Someday, though, we will all have another awsome vent for our obsession at this sweet theme park (and Dicya will live there).

Local Actress Cast as Mrs. Granger

A local Coleraine actress by the name of Michelle Fairley has been casted as the Muggle mother of Hermione Granger says the Coleraine Times. Along with being a mom to a pretty brilliant witch, Mrs. Granger is also a dentist along with her husband.


Now, we're never formally introduced to Mrs. Granger in the series, only glimpses of her and Mr. Granger, so we're guessing they've got something special planned for Deathly Hallows! Or we're hoping....

Knox's Killer Convicted

Robert Knox, 18, played Marcus Belby in Half-Blood Prince. While defending his brother in a bar fight from Karl Bishop, 22, he was stabbed to death.


After what's been months of court trials and such, Bishop has finally been convicted for the murder of Knox, as  well as the wounding of friend, Dean Saunders. 

We're all lamenting the loss of Knox, and maybe his family will be at peace knowing his killer is paying the punishment. We wish all the best to them.
