It’s been an exciting Harry Potter week. Here are this week’s highlights, as well as a few things not yet reported here at the pub:
- Half-Blood Prince Trailer released - We’ve been having a great discussion here, and HP Progs podcasted on it
- J.K. Rowling’s and Harry Potter’s birthday (Neville’s, too, the day before!) Pat wishes them all a Happy Birthday.
- Tales of Beedle the Bard to be published (cover art) – Later tonight, I’ll put a link up in the sidebar for you to pre-order.
- Universal has released concept art for the Three Broomsticks at the Harry Potter Theme Park
- Issue #2 of Journey to the Sea is available!
- I planned a PubCast for yesterday, but something’s gone funky with the audio input on my MacBook; I’ve got an appointment at the Apple store tomorrow.
- I’m playing with a few ads on the site – only at the very bottom right of the sidebar. Let me know if you hate them. It’s the same idea as Suite101 (except that I think I can do a lot better here).

Harry Potter This Week: Half Blood Prince Trailer, Harry’s Birthday
by Travis Prinzi on July 27, 2008
It should be a fun forthcoming week in Harry Potter’s world.
Then, Thursday, we have Harry Potter’s birthday. And, of course, J.K. Rowling’s birthday. I’m planning something a little extra-special for that day, so stay tuned. The HP Alliance will be wrapping up its “11 Days of Breaking Out of the Muggle Mindset” series that day (I happen to think if we all just practiced their Day 7 exercise more often, we’d all be more magic and less muggle). Got any plans to celebrate the day? (We Harry Potter people are in the process of creating our own calendar, it seems.)
If you haven’t had a chance yet, be sure to check out PubCast #56, which has the audio from the Jim Dale Press Conference at Portus 2008. Jim Dale is the voice of the U.S. Harry Potter audiobooks.
