| Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - Achievements (Xbox 360) |  | Yeah, the same good old eternal story, with a touch of Latin or Italian... That's how most of the spells in the games sound like, so why not be hip and call the game's plot Harry-Potter style? From what I've heard, EA received the aid of a fan council while creating this game, so the plot's quite the same as the one in the movie and book, with a couple of twists.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix ... [read more >>] | | 07 July 2008, 08:48GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| Emma Watson Is the New Face of Chanel |  | She may be only 18, but "Harry Potter" lead actress Emma Watson or Hermione Granger for those of you too fascinated with the movies to know her real-life name has a very bright future ahead of her. Her acting career is in full swing, she is wildly popular among teenagers everywhere, already a favorite of the UK press, she's beautiful and graceful not to mention extremely rich, due to her continued presence in ...

| Wizard 101 Takes You to Ravenwood |  | In a world where movies are more and more based on games, and where every new movie out there is tied down to a game companion, seeing games-based-on-movies-that-try-to-be-something-else as well was pretty much inevitable. Following this trend, KingIsle Entertainment is announcing that it plans to launch a fantasy-themed virtual world called Wizard 101, which to me seems ripped directly from the lore of ...

| Battle the Half Blood Prince in New Harry Potter Game |  | As the movie based on the sixth book in the Harry Potter saga is due to launch later the year, it was inevitable to get a little gaming companion. Electronic Arts Casual division has partnered up with Warner Bros Interactive to produce a game that will follow the ad ... [read more >>] | | 23 April 2008, 02:50GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| Ron Weasley Hates Lindsay Lohan |  | In this modern age of extreme narcissism, shameless fame-whoring and constant attention-seeking, it's nice to see younger, more down-to-earth stars sticking together, in no way seduced by the over-hyped aura of the Hollywood "sex, drugs and rock and roll" generation. The British actors of the multi-billion dollars "Harry Potter" franchise are a good example of rising stars diligently keeping themselves of ...

| Nude Harry Potter Comes to Broadway |  | Make no mistake, everybody who deliberately chooses to call Daniel Radcliffe "Harry" rather than use the actor's true name is not doing it out of ignorance, but out of fondness. Even more than ten years after the first written "Harry Potter" installment first saw the light of day and the final book in the series ended the boy wizard's saga among us ,Muggles, the fascination of J.K. Rowling's won ... [read more >>] | | 10 April 2008, 04:58GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| First Sneak Peek into the Brand New Harry Potter Movie |  | Joanne Rowling may have finished her world-famous series of novels depicting the magical adventures of the boy wizard Harry Potter, but the movie franchise intent on bringing Harry to the big screens is still going strong. The shooting for the sixth movie in the series, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", has begun a while ago, and Warner Bros is offering us a first peek into the much darker world of our favorite ...

| One (Harry Potter) Book, Two (Mega) Movies |  | The sensational boy-wizard Harry Potter portrayed on the big screen by the equally popular British actor Daniel Radcliffe seems to like all the attention he's been getting in the Muggle world. Therefore, he has decided to prolong his stay with the non-magical community, and travel with us into the next decade. Reason? Warner Bros. Pictures and the producers behind the Harry Potter movie saga which is at present one of ... [read more >>] | | 13 March 2008, 08:01GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| Harry Potter and Hermione Dating? |  | Well, I'm not sure Joanne Rowling was expecting such a twist in the life of her famous boy-wizard, but it seems that young people nowadays are even harder to manage than we might have expected. I mean, look at all the Disney "bad girls" (I'm thinking the likes of Vanessa "I look good naked" Hudgens here): they all started out as little darling angels and ended up racy sex kittens. So, in the end ther ... [read more >>] | | 20 February 2008, 08:18GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| J.K. Rowling May Continue the Harry Potter Saga! |  | I remember talking to a friend once, who asked me if I thought Joanne Rowling would "let Harry be" after finishing the seventh book and thus completing the saga. My honest reply was "yes". That was before the final book was released, mind you, so all I could do (as a hopeless Harry Potter fan that I've been over the past six years) was think about the end of the story, and didn't give the "Harry Potter go ...

| Apparate: Harry Potter And The Order Of... Archos!? |  | You surely remember when book stores everywhere were stormed by millions of kids eager to obtain the latest book of the Harry Potter series. After the stores episode, the thick book took over the subway where readers were spotted with their heads buried in the book.
Recently, the massive Harry Potter hysteria has spread to the electronics market where the giant electronics manufacturer Archos is also part of the witchcraft. Af ... [read more >>] | | 18 December 2007, 12:11GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| Leave Hermione Alone! She's Doing Great... |  | Emma Watson is the kind of girl who doesn't need alcohol and infamous one-night stands to keep herself in the news or to be voted Britain's greatest female role model (in a magazine poll earlier this year), ahead of much older and more experienced stars such as Keira Knightley and Kate Moss. As an aside, I have no idea why anyone would see Kate Moss as a role model, except maybe in the negative sense with all her racy lifesty ...

| Are We Going to See Justin Making Out with a Man Now? |  | Remember all that craze that hit us about a month ago, when the "Harry Potter" author J. K. Rowling let the whole world know one of her best loved characters, professor Dumbledore, was in fact gay? Well, I think Rowling must have had some vision, or at least a wicked sense of humor in allowing the headmaster of Hogwarts out of the closet, since there is something about gay wizards that seems to pop out every now and then i ...

| JK Rowling's New Book Is a Harry Potter Spin-Off |  | JK Rowling has reportedly completed the first book that does not deal with the fate of Harry Potter, the famous boy wizard she created more than 15 years ago. However, don't look for any mention of Rowling's book anywhere else outside the "Harry Potter" shelf at your local bookstores, as Rowling's new book (if we can refer to it in that way) is called "The Tales of Beedle the Bard". And yes, for ... [read more >>] | | 02 November 2007, 10:25GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| For All You Potter Fans Out There: Dumbledore Is Gay |  | Joanne Rowling's love for shocking twists and surprise revelations sure managed to take us all by surprise again. And there was me thinking that the Harry Potter surprises were over. I must confess, the only big surprise I still had in mind (after waiting patiently for almost 10 years to find out the series' outcome) was Rowling announcing she would be coming up with an eighth book. Well, wrong again which goes to show ( ... [read more >>] | | 22 October 2007, 05:00GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| Harry Potter Brings His Naked Self to Broadway |  | No, don't be alarmed, everybody. There's no Harry Potter 8 on the way, although maybe some of us wouldn't be so unhappy to see the boy wizard come back for another turn of magic and mystery. But if Harry's adventures are finally over and the now-all-grown-up wizard may rest for a while on the shelves of bookstores and in the imagination of those who waited for him for so long, Daniel Radcliffe, the young actor who' ...

| Chinese SANSUI PMP Wears Funny Codename, Plays Harry Potter! |  | SANSUI might sound unfamiliar to you, but I don't blame you at all. With so many ghost brands of PMPs out there, its hard to tell when something really big will penetrate the market.
SANSUI makes no exception. We haven't heard of these gays before, and we definitely never seen one of their products in the stores, therefore its 6714E portable media player comes as a surprise for most of us.

| Box-Office Magic with Harry Potter |  | Everyone talked last week about the "Transformers" movie and how much of a success that was and how it's gonna be the beginning of a beautiful franchise and all that. Well I say the "Transformers" movie didn't quite stand out to the task because it was topped by a children's film. Although Harry Potter's latest incarnation is supposed to be all dark and stuff, at least darker than the other movies, i ... [read more >>] | | 16 July 2007, 10:57GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| Harry's Hormones, This Time on Film |  | The latest in the Harry Potter series is "Order of the Phoenix", in which the now-teenage wizard has more than a few challenges in a dark world of magic. The movie is doing very well at the box-office, making $91 million in the first three days. And the fun is just beginning. Although the critics are harsher this time on his performance and the lack of depth in the script, people say the movie is not bad at all, for an ...

| Harry Potter's Phoenix Has A Bright First Night Opening |  | Harry Potter is officially back! The fifth installment of J.K. Rowling's saga had its opening night in the US theaters yesterday and it sure cashed in big: $12 million to be exact. But how does that fare compare to the other big name openings?
Well, since they are here for about a week, let's see how the "Transformers" have managed. The DreamWorks - Paramount Pictures collaboration opened last Monday and it ... [read more >>] | | 12 July 2007, 03:34GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| Daniel Radcliffe Like You've Never Seen Him Before |  | Being the guy who plays Harry Potter for seven movies straight can have a serious backfire on Daniel Radcliffe's career. No matter how hard he tries, the first thing that people think when they look at the 17-year-old Daniel is the young wizard from J.K. Rowling "Harry Potter" series. Nevertheless, Daniel keeps on trying.
One thing is for sure. Although he still has to star in two more "Harry Potter" m ... [read more >>] | | 10 July 2007, 12:06GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| Transformers Turn into No 1 in The Box Office |  | As expected, the sci-fi flick co-produced by DreamWorks and Paramount Pictures was the highest grossing movie of this weekend. The modern screening of the 1980's Hasbro toys has debuted with $67.6 million in its first weekend, which makes for a total of $152.5 million in seven days.
With that grossing for its first week, Transformers have earned the largest sum of money in the history of non-sequel films. The previous rec ... [read more >>] | | 09 July 2007, 07:01GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| Harry Potter Is Desperate for Sex |  | Daniel Radcliffe, the 17-year-old actor that plays Harry Potter, has revealed to the world that he wants to have sex, lots of it, with as many girls as possible, because he is famous and chicks want him. That's basically it. Let's break it down a little.
Daniel Radcliffe was chosen out of tens of thousands of little boys to portray the world's famous Harry Potter in the seven movies of the series. That was sev ... [read more >>] | | 07 July 2007, 05:05GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" Premiers in Europe |  | The fifth movie of the "Harry Potter" series has had its European premiere last night in London. It seems that "The Order of the Phoenix" was too hot to be put out by the pouring rain, as hundreds of devoted fans (mostly girls) braved the bad weather.
Although she is camera shy, J.K. Rowling, none other than the one woman who is responsible for the creation of Harry Potter, made a personal appearance at las ... [read more >>] | | 04 July 2007, 10:27GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |

Security company Sophos discovered this problem and sustained that the worm is automatically copied onto a new memory stick connected to the USB port once the autorun function is started. A new document is also created and copied on the stick containing a simple line that says "Harry Potter is dea ... [read more >>] | | 29 June 2007, 03:06GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
