Auror and actor, Ronald Weasley, has appeared in all the biographical Harry Potter films.
Harry Potter's best friend, Ronald Weasley, is recovering from a "mild bout" of swine flu, his publicist has said.
After kissing a pig that had been charmed by his older brother and businessman, George Weasley, he became ill. He was successfully treated at St. Mungo's hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. Weasley has now returned to work as an auror alongside his best friend and fellow school dropout, Harry Potter.
And he is well enough to attend the world premiere of the biographical film,…

In what is probably the cleverest scheme to capture any remaining pocket change that Bernard Madoff has not swindled out of the average American, the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry is slated to open a Harry Potter exhibit on Thursday, 30 April. According to what I've read, Harry Potter: The Exhibition takes visitors from the Hogwarts Express train platform through the Gryffindor common room, classrooms, the Great Hall, the Forbidden Forest and Hagrid's hut…

My fellow Harry Potter fans will be most saddened to hear that a serious accident occurred yesterday afternoon on the film set of the latest Harry Potter film that is in production. David Holmes, the stuntman for Daniel Radcliffe (who plays Harry Potter), was hospitalized with serious back injuries after an accident on the sound stages at London's Leavesden Studios, in Hertfordshire, near Watford, England.…

This is the snake cage at the London Zoo that was in a scene from the first Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. In the film, this cage held a Burmese boa constrictor. In real life, this cage holds a black mamba.

Platform 9 3/4 at Kings Cross in London, England.
This is not the original platform used in the film, which is between platforms 4 and 5 at Kings Cross, but it is a cute little tourist memorial to the film.

A little while ago today, I heard a special news announcement on the radio that JK Rowling won her lawsuit regarding infringement to her copyright by the Harry Potter Lexicon and awarded $6,750 in statutory damages to Rowling and Warner Brothers.
The U.S. district court judge, Robert Patterson, ruled that Steven Vander Ark's "Harry Potter Lexicon" would cause Rowling irreparable harm as a writer because it "had failed to establish an affirmative defense of fair use." Patterson stated that reference materials…

Classic telephone box in London. These are an endangered species.
Telephone boxes appear throughout the Harry Potter films, particularly as an entrance into the Ministry of Magic in the fifth Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. When the telephone in the box is dialed (62442, the word M-A-G-I-C).

Now that I am recovering from food poisoning, I have been making up for lost time by working extra long hours on my upcoming London trip -- thus, my blog has been rather .. quiet .. today. I have been planning my travel based on which sights I wish to see. I decided to limit myself to London since I wish to invest my time in seeing and experiencing as much as possible while I am visiting, and I am certain that there is plenty to keep me occupied for at least one year if I had the time and money to run around London to see everything. One of…

The sixth Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, was supposed to be released 21 November 2008, but Warner Brothers film studios announced yesterday that the film's release has been delayed until 17 July 2009, due to a corporate brain fart.
