Bloomsbury Mentions New '3 book box-set' from JK Rowling; Jo Dispells Immediate Encyclopaedia Plans
Posted by Mariam - 22 May 2012
Two interesting news pieces emerged today - firstly, Bloomsbury, the U.K. publishers of Harry Potter, released reports regarding their year's profits and sales which mentioned a new 'three-book box set' from J.K. Rowling relating to the Potter world. Bloomsbury added that they will be relying on this set for their coming year's profit. From Reuters:
Next, Jo updated the F.A.Q. section on her official site with an unfortunate statement concerning the much-wanted encyclopaedia of Harry Potter facts and histories; Jo no longer has any definite plans to publish it. Here's the excerpt:
So now this leaves fans to speculate over whether the three-book box set will simply be a re-release of the Potter companion books, which are Quidditch Through the Ages, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and The Tales of Beetle the Bard, or other Hogwarts library texts, or something else entirely (although now that the encyclopaedia's been crossed out, we're down to slim pickings.) Thoughts on what the new set could be?
Bloomsbury, the publisher of the "Harry Potter" series by author JK Rowling, also said it was counting on a new Rowling three-book box set tied into the Potter series, and a non-fiction account of spies in World War II to support sales in the coming year.

What about the Harry Potter Encyclopaedia?
Updated May 2012
I have been enjoying sharing information about Harry’s world on Pottermore for free, and don’t have any firm plans to publish it in book form.
So now this leaves fans to speculate over whether the three-book box set will simply be a re-release of the Potter companion books, which are Quidditch Through the Ages, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and The Tales of Beetle the Bard, or other Hogwarts library texts, or something else entirely (although now that the encyclopaedia's been crossed out, we're down to slim pickings.)

Posted by Victoria - 22 May 2012
In a new MTV movie awards promo, we are able to glimpse our first second-long sneak-peak of Emma Watson as her character Sam in "The Perks of Being a Wallflower." Emma appears at 0:14, in between appearances by Mark Whalberg and Elizabeth Banks, in a scene at a library from which we've seen some stills already. Good luck to Emma and the whole cast, as they present the first official trailer for the film on Sunday, June 3rd at the pre-show.
Rupert Grint to Star in "The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman"
Posted by Mariam - 21 May 2012
Rupert Grint has reportedly signed on to a new crime drama, called The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman. The Collider has a synopsis of the film's plot:Charlie Countryman (LaBeouf) was just a normal guy…until he fell in love with the one girl who will probably get him killed. When Charlie meets the absolutely irresistible Gabi she’s already been claimed by Nigel, an insanely violent crime boss with a gang of thugs at his disposal. Armed with little more than his wit and naïve charm, Charlie endures one bruising beat down after another to woo Gabi and keep her out of harm’s way. Finally his exploits of blind valor create such a mess that he’s left with only one way out; to save the girl of his dreams, must Charlie Countryman die?
Rupert's character is so far unnamed. The film, which also stars actors Shia Labeouf, Mads Mikkelsen, Melissa Leo and others, will begin filming in Romania next week.
St. Andrews University Holding Literary Conference to Study Harry Potter books
Posted by Victoria - 18 May 2012
Pazdziora says: "We can't avoid the fact that Harry Potter is the main narrative experience of an entire generation - the children who literally grew up with Harry Potter.
"The Harry Potter novels are simply the most important and influential children's books of the late-20th and early 21st Centuries." Adds keynote speaker, John Granger: "I take exception to the unexamined and misinformed assumption that the books are light on literary merit. Ms Rowling's works are comic, certainly, but it's a great mistake to think they're simple or haphazard story-telling."
