A few days ago, we asked our humble readers to settle one of the most tense and life-altering debates of all time -- is 'Twilight' better than 'Harry Potter?' (Click here to see the poll.) Finally, we now have the answer, and the winner is...
Snowy owls, the white-feathered birds who were made popular by Hedwig, Harry Potter's loyal companion and courier, are suddenly appearing in the Northern United States in record numbers.
In one corner, we have 'Twilight,' the mega-popular vampire romance that launched the careers of Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.
In the other, we have 'Harry Potter,' the fantasy book series that gave us eight hit movies and made Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson household names.
So which is better? It's time for you to decide by voting in our poll below.
'Harry Potter' fans might be sad that the crazy popular film (and book) series has ended, but Harry himself, Daniel Radcliffe, has another movie coming out that might appeal to fans of that series.
It's not about magic spells and wizards on broomsticks, but it does have a mysterious person in black who scares the heck out of our hero.
Until now, "butterbeer" was just a figment of J.K. Rowling's million dollar imagination. As you'll see in this instructional video, the tasty drink beloved by the 'Harry Potter' gang is now a reality. And you can make it at home.
Texas woman Laura Marshall promises she's not a crazy cat lady, but she did have a cat-friendly replica of the Weasley's Burrow from 'Harry Potter' built in her backyard.
Because he has a sibling-like relationship with his costar in real-life, Rupert Grint was so traumatized by having to romantically kiss Emma Watson in 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' that the actor has since repressed the experience. “I find it hard to recall anything about it," Grint told reporters. "I think it has been erased from my mind.”
Of course their kiss exists on film for everybody else to see, and in this behind-the-scenes look at 'Deathly Hallows' you can watch the pair brace themselves for the big moment, and learn about Watson's strategy to keep the number of takes at a minimum.
It's been two months since author J.K. Rowling whipped Harry Potter fans into a frenzy by releasing only the most cryptic details about what would be on her new site, Pottermore.
Although the site doesn't officially open to the public until October, there have already been over 22 million pageviews, and a million lucky people were chosen for a sneak peek and the opportunity to shape the website’s development. Those early users have been able to do things like learn new facts about the Potterverse, open an account at the goblin bank Gringotts, and collect items for a virtual “trunk.”
The final film installment of fantasy series Harry Potter is currently in theaters, and fans who held the books and movies dear are sad to see the story come to a close.
In this well-edited re-imagining of the HP7 trailer, we get a glimpse of what the immensely popular saga might have looked like had it missed the mark and gone for typical teen comedy instead of the unique and imaginative world to which fans were treated. See the beloved characters Harry, Ron and Hermione deal with cliched teen adventures like young love, the big game and partying, all set to hip music.
If there's one thing 'Harry Potter' author J.K. Rowling knows, it's how to keep fans in breathless anticipation. With the book series long behind her and the film adaptation wrapping up with its final installment this summer, Rowling's got a new project underway and she's dropping cryptic hints across the internet.
