Around the Common Room

by Travis Prinzi on March 26, 2008

Added: Poster for Half-Blood Prince (not a very clear picture, as it’s not been actually “released” yet)

Last Harry Potter Film Split into 67 Parts (Spoof)

Brief but poignant observation from John Granger about the story of Rowling’s contemplated suicide.

Get more familiar with Andrew Peterson’s music from these YouTube clips.

Completely not-Potter and non-literature related, but if you’re a sports fan, the Prayers for Blowouts blog ran an interview with me yesterday.

And if you haven’t checked it out yet, our own Dave Jones is running his own blog now: Nowhere on the Ohio River.

HogPro Commentary

We’ve been providing news stories this week, and along with the tremendous comments and conversation here, John Granger’s been commenting on the stories as well (he also thinks the new site is great, which we appreciate; stay tuned for one or two more smaller-scale changes that will make a huge difference, we think). Here are the posts from HogPro:

Concerning Rowling’s continued commentary on Dumbledore, John wonders what the consequences might be as she continues to take strong stances along particular political lines.
John comments on the two final films decision.
He also shares some helpful thoughts on Rowling’s influences inspired by our Dostoevsky-influence post earlier this week.

If you’ve got thoughts to add to John’s and his readers’ insights, please join the discussion over there!
