More Star Power for HP

Continuing their stroll through the best of British actors, Warner Brothers has confirmed that Helena Bonham Carter will be playing Bellatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix.

Still waiting for Ewan McGregor to participate!

In other HP news, it appears that there are at least two well-known authors who are trying to keep Harry Potter alive at the end of the series. John Irving and Stephen King apparently wrote to JK Rowling, asking her not to kill off the beloved wizard.

Two to die in book 7

J.K. Rowling has said that two characters will die in the seventh and final novel.

“The final chapter is hidden away, although it’s now changed very slightly,” she said in an interview broadcast on Monday on Britain’s Channel 4. “One character got a reprieve, but I have to say two die that I didn’t intend to die.”

When asked to be more specific, she added: “No, I’m not going to commit myself, because I don’t want the hate mail or anything else.”
