The blurb boasts exclusive photographs from the film's sets, interviews with Hermione, Hagrid and Harry (I think they mean with the actors in those roles) and "the first glimpse of Hogwarts school for wizards in a specially-commissioned painting". An ad for the magazine shows the cover, featuring a head-and-torso Dan Radcliffe in full Hogwarts' uniform, looking serious, with Hedwig flying in from top left. Dan looks suitably scruffy, but rather older and thinner than he seems in the film (so the photograph must be fairly recent). He also looks very tired and appears to be wearing lipstick, but that's probably just a trick of the light. Hedwig looks evil. For non-Brits, it looks like there will be something on the website from midnight on Saturday, UK time. Some details here: http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/ Neil From crowswolf at ...

Our young heroes are a week away from the end of their seventh year at Hogwarts, or at least most of them are. Draco Malfoy had gone missing barely a month after he and Hermione became a couple. Now, he is found among an army led by Voldemort - the very same army that plans to raid Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry during the end-of-the-year feast. Has Draco really become a Death Eater? Has Hermione truly gotten over him? What is Harry going to do about everything that's happening, and what will become of the school? Have fun!

NB: CLOSES 19th OCTOBER We're still interested in hearing your preferences on where we should discuss the Harry Potter movies, especially those of you who are recent joiners. A poll has been running for a couple of months now, but we thought it was worth going through some of the pros and cons. Several of you sent us messages explaining the thinking behind your votes, so we've incorporated some of those hopes and fears below. The poll is here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/surveys?id=729738 (you may need to reconstruct the link) GENERAL NOTES *It's an advisory poll, which means the outcome will inform the decision. *The poll will be closed on Friday 19th October, midnight UK time. *You can change your vote until the poll is closed. *Others can't see your vote or sell it to the highest bidder. *A copy of this message will be linked from the poll intro. Here are the four options and some notes on the thinking behind them... (1) KEEP HP MOVIE DISCUSSION ON THE MAIN LIST What does this mean? We would continue to ask for a 'MOVIE:' prefix on the headers of all movie-related posts and there would be a requirement for spoiler space until it seemed appropriate to remove it. It's worth pointing out that, because release dates are staggered between November 2001 and May 2002 (see list, here: http://www.hpgalleries.com/moviegallery3.htm), spoiler space would continue for an extended period. What is spoiler space? D R A C O I N L E A T H E R With the juicy details placed much further down the page (note: do not use blank lines or punctuation symbols, as they may get ignored or truncate messages) Pros: *no further splitting up of the list - all book/movie discussion in one place *no additional lists to check Cons: *spoiler space to remember and contend with (see intro, above) *huge increase in message volume, particularly around movie release dates *influx to a literary discussion list of movie fans who may not have read the books *swamping of book-related threads around movie-release times. (2) PERMANENT HP MOVIE LIST What does this mean? We would move all discussions related to the HP movies to a permanent, separate list that would be complementary to the main book-oriented list. Pros: *clear-cut division *no need for spoiler space (you would only join if you'd seen the film[s]) *reduced volume on the main list *people could avoid movie discussions (and movie-only fans) easily Note: *movie/book crossover posts would all go here (pro or con?). Cons: *another list to join *divergence of membership on the two lists *no more posting about the movie on the book discussion list (3) TEMPORARY HP MOVIE LIST What does this mean? We would set up a list for discussion of the movies instead of introducing spoiler space. Rather than maintaining the list all the time, if the message volume dropped (i.e. between films), discussion would return to the main list with the 'MOVIE:' prefixes. Pros: *allows main list to maintain some continuity between book and movie discussions *reduced message volume on the main list only when needed *people could avoid movie discussions more easily during the active periods. Note: ultimately, this may end up being a permanent list. Cons: *rather vague (or flexible, from another viewpoint) *a decision would be required about moves back and forth *there would be some splitting of movie posts between two lists (4) ALL HP MOVIE POSTS GO TO OT CHATTER What does this mean? We would move all movie discussion to our existing OT Chatter list and apply the same rules that would apply on the main list (i.e. spoiler space for an extended period). Pros: *movie, merchandise and casting chitchat would be on the same list as more serious discussion *no need to join another list (assuming members have joined OT Chatter) Cons: *it wouldn't have the same feel as the OT Chatter list we have now *OT topics would be invaded by movie-specific discussion *some of the same 'cons' as listed for the option (1) *there would be posting rules on a list that is currently kept fairly free of ADMIN Thanks. __________ Neil/Flying Ford Anglia for the Moderator Team hpforgrownups-owner at yahoogroups.com From blpurdom at blpurdom.yahoo.invalid Wed Oct 17 03:13:26 2001 From: blpurdom at blpurdom.yahoo.invalid (Barb) Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 03:13:26 -0000 Subject: ToGI Chapter 4 (Psychic Serpent Sequel) Message-ID: <9qit0m+cvhu@...> The latest chapter of Harry Potter and the Time of Good Intentions is up at Schnoogle: Chapter Four: The World As We Know It In which Harry recalls more of his new life and returns to a Hogwarts that isn't quite as he remembers it... http://www.schnoogle.com/authors/barb/TOGI04.html The Time of Good Intentions is the sequel to Harry Potter and the Psychic Serpent, which you should read first.

The other Mods hide behind the sofa ] "Roll up, roll up - all the fun of the fair!" Oh no that's the circus. We're talking films, aren't we? And talking of talking films The results of the recent movie poll, to decide where we'll be discussing the HP movie, were: **202 in favour of keeping movie discussions on the current list, with spoilers; **51 in favour of a temporary movie list; **154 in favour of a permanent movie list; **8 in favour of moving movie discussions to OT Chatter. This is pretty even stevens, with a slight majority in favour of moving the discussions to another location, at least temporarily. After some deliberation, the consensus of the moderator team is to move all Harry Potter movie discussions to a separate list and review the situation periodically. It is very difficult to tell how active the movie list might be between films, since discussion of content will still relate overwhelmingly to book canon, so we'll just suck it and see. We have heard some valid arguments for keeping the discussions on the main HPfGU list and, to be honest, we are reluctant to fragment the list further and possibly create more admin work. However, we've already seen an increase in the number of movie-related posts to the list and that trend is likely to continue once the first film is out. Also, the necessity of enforcing spoiler space on movie or movie-book posts for several months after the release date could, in our opinion, become a real chore. Had a large majority voted against moving the discussions, we would have kept things as they are, but, given the very close call, it seems more practical to make a distinction between discussions of the two media and go ahead with a separate list. ****So [a roll on the drums from behind the sofa] .here's the address for the new list, HPFGU-Movie: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-Movie Please follow the hairy usherette into the room on the left, sign yourselves in and, from the dawn of All Saint's Day, confine all your chatter, observation and analysis on the Harry Potter movie to that place.

Well, in last nights Leezo said it would be shown during CBBC1's Wizard Week. Wizard Week starts on Monday (29/10/01, This coming monday), and I *think* the interview is also going to be shown during Monday's Newsround. For anyone in the UK that's not aware, Newsround goes out at 5:25pm weekdays on BBC 1. There are a lot of other features, many no doubt HP related, during the week as well. The only other thing I had to say was that there's an interview with JK Rowling and a shortish feature on the film in this months issue of Dreamwatch.

Answer the questions, send them in and if you get them all right you get a certifate saying you're a Harry Potter Know-All ;-) ~*Vicki*~ From SALeathem at steerpike_nz.yahoo.invalid Mon Oct 29 20:41:05 2001 From: SALeathem at steerpike_nz.yahoo.invalid (SALeathem at steerpike_nz.yahoo.invalid) Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2001 15:41:05 EST Subject: [HPFGU-Announcements] Some more Wizard Week things Message-ID: In case anyone missed it, Rupert Grint was on Newsround today, Emma's on the show tomorrow, and Daniel on wednesday.
