Back in Feb, we posted about WB purchasing the Leavesden studio in the UK where many scenes from Harry Potter were filmed (link). 

Well, now we have confirmation from Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) that the studio will be turned into another Harry Potter theme park attraction!  There aren't alot of details on what will be featured in the theme park just yet, but a studio tour will definitely be in the works. 

Unfortunately for us, the studio is located allllll the way in the UK and I have yet to visit the Wizarding World of HP in Orlando, but just a couple things to look forward to!

And just so this post isn't too visually unappealing, here are a few more still shots from the Deathly Hallows!





















And here's the brand new TV spot for Deathly Hallows!  (goose pimples and shivers...)




Spell of the Day:

"Flagrate" - Caster's wand can leave fiery marks (i.e. write fiery words in mid-air)
Sometimes you just don't have a pen and piece of paper handy.  Simple instructions and directions can simply be written in fire right front of you in thin air!  Its not only easier for the recipient to read, but gives off a nice warm glow on those chillier days.

Make way for some dazzling illustrations by William Stout!

When I look at these pieces, it reminds me of my childhood days flipping through my favorite story book which was often filled with exciting drawings that did all the storytelling.  I never needed to bother reading the words to know what the story was about!

Can you figure out what story these drawings are telling you?

For all you iPhone and iTouch owners, you can now download the Harry Potter Spells app! Actually its been available since last Nov but its just starting to gain more popularity!

Everyone is able to start off with the top 3 spells: Avada Kadavra (instantly defeats your opponent), Morsmordre ( summons dark mark), and Reparo ( repairs broken objects).  You are able to use these spells to duel other players and eventually earn your own invitation to Hogwarts!  Upon entering, you will need to choose a wand at Ollivanders and get sorted into your House by the Sorting Hat.

Once you've been sorted, you'll be able to practice and learn new spells like Alohamora, Expelliarmus, and Petrificus Totalus. These spells will require specific flicks of the hand to cast!  You'll be rewarded with House points for the duels you win against your opponent and can even gloat by posting scores on your facebook page.

If anyone downloads this app, please feel free to share your experiences!  I only wish I owned an iPhone..

The full version of the App, which includes 17 spells and one premium spell pack is available for $2.99.

Spell of the Day:

"Expulso" - Causes an object to explode, with the force of the explosion dependent on the caster.
Not sure if this spell is included in the app but it can be a last option resort if you start to feel your opponent is more apt and skilled at the game than yourself.  Just blow up their iphone...problem solved.
