La escritora de la saga de Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling, asistió a los British Comedy Awards y tuvo el privilegio de entregarle un premio honorífico a Stephen Fry (Narrador de los audiolibros de Harry Potter) gracias a su larga vida de comediante. Pero no fue lo único que ocurrió en esta entrega de Premios, el presentador Jonathan Ross le hizo una broma a J.K Rowling, ya que fue a pedirle que le autografiara un libro, pero en vez de entregarle algún tomo de Harry Potter, le entregó un tomo de uno de los libros de la saga La Materia Oscura de Philip Pullman. J.K Rowling se rió y firmó el autógrafo en ese libro. Fuente: TLC!

Un nuevo documental sobre J.K. Rowling se estrenará en navidad, pero este documental promete ser el mejor de los que ya se hayan hecho acerca de la vida de la autora de Harry Potter. En este documental, veremos todo lo que fue el proceso de escritura de Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, veremos cuando J.K Rowling escribió la última línea del último libro (en el Hotel Balmoral de Edimburgo, habitación 552 y no 652 como nos habían dicho), también conoceremos más sobre la vida de la autora y la veremos en su primer hogar de la infancia por primera vez y en algunas lugares mencionados en la historia de Harry Potter y otros lugares importantes como el Bosque de Dean, la estación King’s Cross, el Castillo Duart en la Isla de Mull, la Christ Church College en Oxford, entre otros sitios. El que acompañó a J.K Rowling durante todo este viaje y que estuvo filmando el documental, fue James Runcie, quien seguramente debió haber aprendido muchas cosas sobre el mundo mágico

J.K. Rowling sigue donando más cosas a la caridad, esta vez es un tomo de Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows autografiado por ella y fue donado a Trefoil House. El libro va a ser rifado en una fiesta navideña que tendrá lugar en New Market Road, Edimburgo. Lo bueno de esta rifa, es que el libro no se lo va a llevar el que tenga más dinero (como va a suceder con la subasta de The Tales of Beedle the Bard), sino es cuestión de suerte ya que compras un ticket de la rifa y si resultas ser el ganador, pues te lleva esta copia de Deathly Hallows autografiada. Gracias TLC!

La famosa revista estadounidense Entertainment Weekly ha elegido a J.K. Rowling como la Artista del Año. EW dice que han elegido a J.K. como artista del año debido a que ella ha hecho algo muy difícil y es que en la era de los videojuegos, el internet, etc, ella ha puesto a millones de niños y adultos a leer. Felicidades a J.K.

J.K. Rowling wants Harry Potter to be completely naked in the next movie. The Scottish author saw Daniel Radcliffe, who plays the boy wizard in the big screen adaptations of her magical book series, strip off on the London stage for his role in 'Equus' and joked it would be interesting to see her character in the buff. Daniel said: "When Jo came to see 'Equus', she popped backstage afterwards and said, 'In the next film, Harry's going to be naked all the time!' " The 18-year-old actor also confessed he feels he can be a disappointment to his female fans when they met him in real life. He added: "I don't think I intimidate them. I disappoint them if anything. Because on screen everyone looks cool. In real life they don't look as good. I don't, anyway." Daniel is being replaced in 'Equus' by Lily Allen's brother Alfie. He is set to go on a nationwide tour starting in Chichester on January 31.

Como se dijo en un post anterior se hablaba del nuevo giratiempos y del nuevo archivo de MAGOS DEL MES de la pagina de la prestigiosa escritora, JKRowling.com. Ahora, gracias a muchas paginas de HP, descubrí mas secretos… checalos: Primero, ve a La Sala de Requerimientos, en la goma rosa. Entra, y apaga la luz. Cerca del interruptor de luz, en la esquina superior derecha, veras como unas lineas brillantes. Pon el mouse en la pura esquina del interruptor, y arrastralo. Se vera una nueva receta. Luego, como veras, lo que necesitas es una “piedra” y un “insecto”. En el inicio, esperando a que aparesca Peeves, y al aparecer Peeves, ahi veras una piedra azul. Dale doble click, y… a buscar el insecto. Ahora ve al Sitios de fans de Harry Potter. Ahí espera unos cuantos segundos (la araña no es lo que buscamos) y de pronto a otro, aparecerá un extraño insecto con piernas largas. Dale click, y recibirás unos nuevos apuntes a tu álbum!! Bueno, l

You'd think it would be incredibly hard to do, but J. K. Rowling has once again pissed me off by doing something that no respectable writer would do in her position. You can find the story here.The short version is that Rowling is going to publish seven copies of a new book called The Tales of Beedle the Bard. Yes, only seven. We'll get back to that in a minute. Six copies are going to her friends and family, and the last copy is going to be put up for auction for charity--the bid starts at $62,000. Okay, now the only good side to this is that she's raising money for kids. Here is my problem.You are the richest damn person in England and practically the richest woman in the whole freaking world. So, instead of saying "thank you fans for making me filthy stinking rich" you're going to take a nice dump right in the face of everyone that supported you by not making this book accessible to everyone. Gee, thanks Rowling. I appreciate it. I mean, goodness, I spend over $200 of

J.K Rowling, justo después de escribir Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, decidió escribir e ilustrar por si misma The Tales of Beedle the Bard (Los Cuentos de Beedle el Bardo), y entre estos cuento, se encuentra el de “La historia de los Tres Hermanos” (es acerca de los Peverell y los Deathly Hallows). Este libro, The Tales of Beedle the Bard, fue el libro que Albus Dumbledore le dejó a Hermione Granger como herencia. Todos nos podríamos sentir muy emocionados por esta noticia, pero lamentablemente, el libro no va a ser publicado sino que solo van a existir 7 copias, 6 de las cuales van a ser regaladas a personas que J.K Rowling ha decidido, y la séptima va a ser subastada el 13 de Diciembre en Londres, y la subasta empieza por 30.000 euros (lo recaudado en la subasta, va a ser donado a Children’s Voice) Sí, es lamentablemente, este libro no será puesto a la venta y creemos que será difícil de que alguna de las 7 personas lo “publique en Internet&

¿Habrá un Harry Potter 8? Al parecer esto es cierto, pues la escritora J.K. Rowling y Warner Bros, realizadores de las películas "Harry Potter", demandaron este miércoles a RDR Books, una pequeña editorial en Michigan que tiene planes de lanzar un libro basado en una página electrónica dedicada al joven mago, alegando que esto "interferirá" en el nuevo libro de Harry Potter que está preparando!! Aquí la historia:La editorial tiene proyectado publicar el libro de 400 páginas, este 28 de noviembre con el título comercial de "Harry Potter Lexicon". Según la editorial, el libro contiene casi el mismo material que está disponible a través del sitio de lexicon: una colección de ensayos, lista de hechizos y pociones encontradas en los libros, un catálogo de criaturas, material enciclopédico e incluso un "quién es quién", material creado por un fan del universo de Harry Potter.En el pasado, Rowling había expresado su apoyo a los esfuerzos de los seguidores de Potter y hast

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has said that she may write another book about the boy wizard in the future. Rowling who completed the final installment of the seven-strong series earlier this year  has refused to rule out a return to the Potter franchise. (more…) Share This

In light of the ridiculous controversy this has engendered, and in protestation against the Massachusetts Catholic school that recently banned the Harry Potter books, I decided it was time to make a statement. Snuffles was supposed to do it, but he says he finds the subject "too boring." I know we're late on this, but The Sci Fi Catholic is late on this sort of thing by design. This isn't a news agency. We like to get our bearings and think a while before shooting our mouths off.In case you're not up on your inexplicably world-rocking literature news, J. K. Rowling mentioned at Carnegie Hall that she regarded the character Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts, as a homosexual. Kind readers have provided me with links, so for the complete story, see this article at The Leaky Cauldron. Catholic blog The Blue Boar has an interesting statement and link. For a level-headed Catholic essay on the subject, Mark Shea's post is a good place to go. For a good example of Catholics Behaving

JK Rowling has admitted that she is shocked by the response she has had since she revealed her Harry Potter character Albus Dumbledore's homosexuality.The author announced the truth about the Hogwarts school headmaster during her book tour at New York's Carnegie Hall last week.Over 3,000 comments were posted on fansite The Leaky Cauldron since the revelation, and Rowling has been surprised by people's reactions.She said: "It has certainly never been news to me that a brave and brilliant man could love other men."He is my character. He is what he is and I have the right to say what I say about him."Source digitalspy

Creo que otra vez nos quedamos con las ganas de saber más y más secretos de la historia de Harry Potter. Lo último que dijo J.K Rowling en su visita a Estados Unidos, fue información acerca de Hufflepuff. Lo primero es, que Neville Longbottom estuvo apunto de ser seleccionado en Hufflepuff, pero al final el Sombrero Seleccionador decidió que Neville tenía que ser Gryffindor. El otro dato, es acerca de una de las fundadores de Hogwarts, Helga Hufflepuff. Al parecer, ella fue quien puso a los elfos domésticos a trabajar en Hogwarts para ofrecerles refugio, pero eso no es algo de admiración, ya que de todas formas eran esclavos. Pues sí, eso es todo, no hay nada interesante, creo que lo único llamativo fue lo de Albus Dumbledore gay, pero más nada. Gracias Harrylatino!

A shock to some, a confirmed interpretation for others, this isn’t fan fiction. This is a candid revelation about JK Rowling’s writing process and prowess: BBC NEWS | Entertainment | JK Rowling outs Dumbledore as gay She took audience questions and was asked if Dumbledore found “true love”. “Dumbledore is gay,” she said, adding he was smitten with rival Gellert Grindelwald, who he beat in a battle between good and bad wizards long ago. The audience gasped, then applauded. “I would have told you earlier if I knew it would make you so happy,” she said. “Falling in love can blind us to an extent,” she added, saying Dumbledore was “horribly, terribly let down” and his love for Grindelwald was his “great tragedy” I applaud JK’s decision to reveal this intriguing tid bit about Dumbledore’s backstory. I do so, not just because it will piss off the religious right even more about the Potter books,

J.K. Rowling has spilled the detail about a character in Harry Potter series by revealing that the wizard Albus Dumbledore, head of Hogwarts school, is gay. (more…)
