Have you guys seen this bit of news from the press release for the Order of the Phoenix DVD?

Trailing Tonks - Spend a day with Actress Nat Tena and receive a very personal and often wacky tour of the Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix stages.Sounds like it could be fun ( Read more... )

There is a new interview available with Natalia Tena, a.k.a. Tonks. I love her. I really do. Quotage from the interview:

I didn’t like some of the things they did at the beginning, to be honest. I really wish she had had pink hair like in the book. They didn’t want to do that because pink would be associated with (Dolores) Umbridge, who is evil ( Read more... )

My hay fever has been going haywire the past few days. I'm sneezing and coughing like mad and always wake with a scratchy throat. It royally sucks ( Read more... )

As an undeniable Harry Potter geek, I've spent more time than I should admit pondering what exactly witches and wizards do or do not wear under their robes. Tonight I had a new thought which just confused me even more.

I remember when the first film was released there was big hoopla over the Hogwarts uniforms. I didn't have a problem with them, ( Read more... )

A fairly bad pic surfaced today of what is supposedly the young Marauders from the OotP film. Along with a decent pic of young Snape.

There was a trailer in front of it for what looked like a cute movie about tap dancing penguins. I asked Julia if a single penguin in the trailer had not been voiced by Robin Williams. She said she didn't think so and we both decided it looked like ( Read more... )

A few random publicity photos (hi-res, official, not the grainy fan set photos we've seen) have been popping up today and now WB has sent the full lot to the-leaky-cauldron and all the other main HP new sites. Of course everyone is hitting TLC right now so everything is loading exceptionally slowly. No Tonks or Remus so I only marginally care. ( Read more... )

The first photo of Natalia Tena in Tonks' costume (purple hair) has surfaced online! You can see the photo hereI love the clothes but want the hair to be shorter/spiker. Perhaps it will be for the pink look? I will be most disappointed if we don't get pink and spiky at some point in the movie but I would have been equally disappointed if her ( Read more... )
