FictionAlley and HPANA.com are reporting that Donald Trump is taking 
over the next two Harry Potter movies for his TV show The 
Apprentice, but they're making it international by teaming up with 
The Office, from the BBC. 

Here's what they say: 
16 candidates from all walks of life, including graduates of 
international universities and internationally famous movie stars 
whose roles in future Harry Potter films have been eliminated, will 
endure rigorous tasks each week while living together in a hip flat 
in London's Docklands; they will also commute together each day to 
Leavesden Studios, where they will be divided into teams each week; 
some of the teams will be involved in preproduction work on Harry 
Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and some will work on the 
currently-in-production Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Each 
week, one team's fate will be decided by The Office's Ricky Geravis, 
and the other will be controlled by The Apprentice's Donald Trump.

Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix, and Trump's apprentices 
will move from the streets of New York to Leavesden Studios outside 
London, where they will serve as the preproduction team for the film 
version of OotP. Also, the under-18s from the Potter cast will 
become "Junior Apprentices", and the series will show Dan Radcliffe, 
Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Tom Felton, Bonnie Wright and the Phelps 
brothers, among others, enduring rigorous tasks to test their 
intelligence, their street-smarts and their ability to engage in 
sneaky pranks on holidays.

While auditions are still going on for the "ordinary" Apprentices, 
Trump and Geravis have already chosen the movie star team: Christian 
Coulson, whose Tom Riddle will not be appearing in either film, 
Chris Rankin, whose Percy Weasley will appear in three scenes or 
less in both movies, Sean Biggerstaff, whose Oliver Wood has been 
shamefully neglected in movies three, four and five, and David 
Thewlis, whose Remus Lupin does not make an appearance in Goblet of 
Fire.
