 Grant Denies Potter Role 

Hugh Grant has not been cast, as rumored, in the feature-film version 
of J.K. Rowling's second Harry Potter novel, Harry Potter and the 
Chamber of Secrets, the Popcorn U.K. Web site reported. The 
MovieHeadlines.net site reported the rumor that Grant had been 
confirmed to play Prof. Gilderoy Lockhart in the second Potter film.

But Grant's spokesperson, Karin Smith, told Popcorn, "It's the first 
I've heard about it." Smith added that Grant hasn't even spoken with 
Warner Brothers about the film.

Steve Kloves is currently adapting Chamber of Secrets for the big 
screen. The first Potter film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, 
is due in theaters Nov. 16.

And finally, the Daily Star reports how, in the run-up to the release 
of a film eagerly awaited by the ex-dance editor of NME.COM, the 
Internet is awash with sordid tales of the "sexploits" of Harry 
Potter. "One describes a rampant sex session between Harry and Ginny, 
the sister of his best pal," the paper gasps. "Author JK Rowling will 
be furious," claims a publishing insider. The phrase "magic wand" may 
never be seen in the same light again...
