Author's estate suing Scholastic over similarities to 'Goblet of Fire'
The estate of British author Adrian Jacobs that took on Bloomsbury in
2009 is now suing Scholastic claiming that "Harry Potter and the Goblet
of Fire" is "substantially similar" to Jacobs' 1987 book "The
Adventures of Willy the Wizard."
“The central theme of each work
-- a yearlong wizard contest -- unfolds as similar characters enact
parallel plot points,” according to the complaint.
The new site is restrained and elegant in its simplicity and greets visitors first with the trailer that was shown at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, before leading into a bare-bones selection of options including a small gallery.
Billed as the "finale of the worldwide phenomenon," emblazoned at the top of the site it reads, "IT ALL ENDS HERE."
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 will hit theaters November 19, 2010. Part 2 is slotted for July 15, 2011.
WB to screen 'Deathly Hallows' footage at ComicCon 2010
The New York Times is reporting that Warner Brothers plans to screen footage from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at ComicCon 2010 in San Diego this summer.
This year, the four-day convention, which begins on July 22, will be host to what has become an obligatory parade of filmmakers and stars hawking their next big thing with extended film clips and question-and-answer sessions in the cavernous Hall H of the San Diego Convention Center. Warner Brothers will be there with “Green Lantern,” “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” and a film called “Sucker Punch,” billed as “Alice in Wonderland with machine guns.”
While there is no word at the moment of what type of footage we can expect to see at ComicCon, we can expect to see all-new footage, as well as the likelihood for appearances from cast and/or crew.
We will keep you all updated when any further information on the topic arises.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 is scheduled for November 19, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 comes out July 15, 2011.

AOL Moviefone names Prisoner of Azkaban one of the "Best Movies Ever"
AOL Moviefone has released a list detailing what they believe are the best films of the decade, and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban takes 10th place:
During his third year at Hogwarts, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe)
learns that Lord Voldemort's acolyte Sirius Black (Gary Oldman) has
escaped Azkaban prison with an eye toward making Harry's "Boy That
Lived" moniker an overstatement. No worries, Harry's friends Ron
Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermoine Granger (Emma Watson) are on hand
to help him sort out the shifting allegiances -- and shapes! -- in a
tale where nothing is as it seems. Darker than the first two Potter
films, to legions of fans the third installment of J.K. Rowlings'
juggernaut may or may not be the best of the bunch; but, really, what
Muggle wouldn't enjoy this. Well Prisoner of Azkaban was not the most commercially successful Harry Potter movie like Philosopher's Stone, Order of the Phoenix and the latest Half-Blood Prince.But AOL seems to have chosen their favourite Harry Potter movie and I too find Prisoner of Azkaban the best. It is one Harry Potter movie which you watch again and again with the same amount of enthusiasm like you did the first time.
The Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows sneek peek that is featured in the Half-Blood Prince blu-ray special features is now online in Hi-Def.
The sneek peek includes brief introductions from David Yates and David Heyman, as well as behind the scenes footage and the 50-second long teaser to the film, centered around the three hallows. The teaser can be seen here, or below.
I know this will be bit of a shock for you but the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows trailer is out on the internet. Its of horrible quality and a very shaky video but you can see whats happening. The official one is suppose to come out via BD-Live on the Blu-ray on 8th we guess. If you would like to see in better quality, then wait till 8th.
