The fifth part of Harry Potter cinema version is managed to win the Lord but, unfortunately, they failed to win “The Pirate’s of The Caribbean”, the third part of this trilogy!

This film is the shortest one, comparing with the previous version. It lasts only 2 hours and 18 minutes. His main opponents are Shreck (the third part) and Transformers. In Russia, the premiere will take place at the 19th of July! For this role Daniel Radcliffe will get 50 million dollars! Actually, this sum is not entirely his. He has to pay to his managers, agents and, of course, taxes! It is incredibly high payment. It can be explained, as though, Dan can be an actor of one movie! Harry Potter and his cinema versions are very popular, even extremely popular, even girls and friends associate Daniel with his main character. Some even call him Harry. According to the public opinion he will never be able to get this success again! Nevertheless, there are two more films about Harry Potter! But, Digital Spy are confident – Daniel Radcliffe till the rest of his life will be Harry Potter! But Daniel says, that he has no reasons to worry. This year he will become a person of majority age and will have an access to his 46 million of dollars!

Also, he added, that it is very flattering thing to be one of the richest and popular people of the World, but he is a self-sufficient person. By the way, let’s remember about “The Equus” – Daniel Theater debut – it was warmly received by critics.

Harry Potter is a hero of our time, even MicrosoftWord knows his name. Joan Rowling is a classic of our times; her books become bestsellers prior to release. There are a lot of forums, sites of Harry Potter, people are constantly talking about him, discussing news about him. Chats are full Harry Potter’s events, news.

Harry Potter lovers can sleep well – Harry will go on! There is amazing news for Harry’s fans; they can play into an interactive game “gallows”, according to NewsInfo. They could guess the title of the book on their own.

The release in cinemas of the fifth part of Harry Potter adventures is planned on the 13 of July 2007. Almost all familiar characters will be present in this movie. But along with such popular actors there will be present famous British actresses Helen Carter and Imelda Stone.

Previous part of Potter’s movies gathered only in The United Kingdom more than 200 million pound sterling and nowadays Redcliff is one the richest teenagers.

In London Harry’s suit was put onto an auction. This auction took place in the large auction hall “Bonhams” and hence it looks like a giant wardrobe. Clients were able not only to have a look at suites but also to try them on. Almost all costumes were made by costumiers from “Angel”. As the organizers said, it’s time to lift the veil of secrecy from people and let them take a part of their beloved movies, cartoons and actors home. On of main reasons of such generosity can be named the popularity of these costumes. Everybody knows them and it is impossible to use them in other films.

In December British bookmakers started taking bets as to Harry Potter’s death at the end of the book, but at the 8th of June this strange process was stopped ‘cause there is no person who still believes that Harry will survive.

And who do you think is the most appropriate murderer? Lord Voldemort, who murdered Potter’s parents, at 2-1 odds, followed by Professor Snape, one of his teachers, at 5-2, says William Hill Plc, a London-based bookmaker. By the way, Rupert Adams, a William Hill spokesman promised, if Harry survive he will return all the stakes.

But in order to get rid of the awful villain Lord Voldemort, there must be killed all the so-called horcruxes, the creatures preserving his immortality. So, according to unreliable resources, Harry Potter can be the last horcrux, so in such a way his death is almost a must, because in order to make the universe better, Lord Voldermort has to die and Harry will be sacrificed.

It obvious that this step is nothing more than a PR piece a successful advertisement but nevertheless it works. You will be surprised… assuming that JK Rowling has know the fate of Harry since Book 1, then it might be fair to assume that despite her best intentions, she has leaked very minor, subtle clues subconsciously into what she has and hasn’t written into the first six books.

This book is a general obsession and people are waiting for Harry as for a coming of Messiah, but we all know what happened next. Will Harry suffer from the same fate?

Joan Rowling is not going to say “good-bye” to her favourite and profitable hero! According to the information from the British publishing house Bloomsbury, she intents to write the 8th book about Harry an encyclopaedia of “Harry Potter”.

Recently Joan finished working on the 7th book about Potter adventures and now she feels herself devastating and upset, because she spent 13 years with this hero and now they must part. That’s why she wants to write a Magic encyclopaedia of Hogwarts dwellers, including the whole unpublished and unreleased fragments and ideas of the previous editions.

This encyclopaedia will be the last book about Harry; unfortunately, Rowling doesn’t plan to write some more books. She said, that ideas, plot and essence of these 7 books perfectly reflect her intentions. 8th books will a kind of charity book or a gift-book to this magic world and its residents.

Harry Potter is an idol of our days and our centuries; these books inspired a renewed interest to reading among British and American children and gave the second birth to the British children’s cinema.

Joan Rowling let the cat out of the bag; two of her heroes will die, but nobody knows who it will be! Nevertheless, this news has already provoked a lot of thoughts, suggestions and commentaries. Rowling kindly asked the whole fans, readers, admirers and opponents to refrain from making any remarks and not to spoil an impression to the rest of readers!

Harry Potter will live! Harry Potter forever!
