Nancy’s Ramblings

I received my copy of the Tales of Beedle the Bard – the new book by J.K. Rowling published by the Children’s High Level Group, a charity started by J.K. Rowling and Baroness Nicholson of Winterbourne MEP.

The book is a collection of 5 fairy tales from the Harry Potter universe. There are comments on each of [...]

J.K. Rowling announced on her website that on December 4, there will be another Harry Potter publication! Tales of Beedle the Bard will be produced with the proceeds benefiting an organization called Children’s High Level Group.

This edition of Beedle’s Tales is translated from the runes by Hermione Granger with notes from Albus Dumbledore! How cool is [...]

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince film is set to be released on November 21, 2008. Late last night (9pm Eastern) Warner Brothers made available the “teaser” trailer for the movie. Moviephone has the Harry Potter in 3 different formats.

I’m trying not to read all of the spoilers and view all of the pictures that have [...]

This last week, JK Rowling stopped at 3 US cities doing readings and promoting the last Harry Potter book – The Deathly Hallows. While doing question/answer sessions with some lucky fans, she revealed that Dumbledore was homosexual. It has been on every newscast that I have seen all weekend. The media is really making a big [...]

I had just read on a couple of the fandom websites that Jo Rowling is considering writing an encyclopedia of sorts for the Harry Potter world. I certainly hope the rumors are true. I’d love to see it. Of course, I’m willing to wait however long it takes for it – afterall, Jo [...]

Thank you JK Rowling for a terrific ending to the series. I look forward to reading anything else you might publish in the future.

I won’t give away any of the plot details, but it did end the way I thought it would. The deaths were suprising, although not entirely unexpected – afterall it was [...]

I originally pre-ordered the book back in Jan/Feb when the publishing date was first announced from amazon.com. However, then I found out that they were not going to guarantee delivery unless we pay for 2 day shipping – and I was so upset about that I cancelled my order. I then pre-ordered it from Walmart in [...]

I went to see Harry Potter 5 again tonight. It was my third time seeing the film since it was released 6 days ago. Each time I watch it, I see something new. Tonight, among other things was a date.

In the room where the Black family tapestry is, was a birth year for [...]
