<p>Daniel Radcliffe has paid tribute to his Harry Potter co-star Dame Maggie Smith, following the legendary actress's death on Friday at the age of 89. Radcliffe, 35, shared heartfelt memories of working with Smith, recalling their first encounter on the set of David Copperfield when he was just 9 years old.</p>

<p>In a statement given to Page Six, Radcliffe recounted how his parents were “awestruck” that he would work with the acclaimed actress. “The other thing I knew about her was that she was a Dame, so the first thing I asked her when we met was ‘would you like me to call you Dame?’ at which she laughed and said something to the effect of ‘don’t be ridiculous!” Radcliffe said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Radcliffe described Smith as warm and kind, qualities that helped him feel at ease during their first collaboration. “She was incredibly kind to me on that shoot, and then I was lucky enough to go on working with her for another 10 years on the ‘Harry Potter’ films,” Radcliffe added.</p>

<p>Over the next decade, the two actors shared the screen in all eight Harry Potter films, with Radcliffe playing the titular character and Smith portraying the beloved Professor Minerva McGonagall.</p>

<p>“She had a fierce intellect and a gloriously sharp tongue,” Radcliffe said. “[Maggie] could intimidate and charm in the same instant and was, as everyone will tell you, extremely funny.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I will always consider myself amazingly lucky to have been able to work with her, and to spend time around her on set,” Radcliffe further shared. “The word legend is overused but if it applies to anyone in our industry then it applies to her. Thank you Maggie.”</p>

<p>Smith’s family confirmed her passing, revealing that she died peacefully in the hospital, surrounded by loved ones. The revered actress leaves behind a storied legacy, with two Academy Awards, three Emmys, three Golden Globes, and one Tony Award.

<p>It's been 19 years since the Yule Ball but it seems Ron Weasely has still not asked Padma Patil for a dance. Actors Rupert Grint and Afshan Azad, who played Ron and Padma in the Harry Potter films, had a sweet reunion recently. Potter&nbsp;fans would recall how Ron had asked Padma to the Yule Ball in <em>Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire</em>, but the date was unsuccessful as Ron refused to dance with Padma.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
19 years since the film came out, the two actors met up recently, and Afshan even shared a sweet post on Instagram. Afshan shared a side-by-side look at the two actors from the film and how they look now.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In the post, Grant and Azad smile at the camera, while the next picture reveals how they looked when they were featured in <em>Goblet of Fire</em>. Azad reflected that "parenthood has changed us," while teasing that Grint again failed to ask her to dance after 19 years of waiting.<br />
<br />
"Padma &amp; Ron reunited after 20+ years. Oh how parenthood has changed us all 🥲⚡️ ps He’s still not asked me to dance 🙄" wrote Afshan in the caption.</p>

<strong>Will the Harry Potter cast reunite in the near future?</strong><br />
<br />
The final <em>Harry Potter</em> film - <em>Deathly Hallow Part 2</em> released in 2011. Since then, quite a few cast members, including Grint, Danielle Radcliffe and Emma Watson, reunited for a special show in 2022 to take part in the 20th Anniversary of the <em>Harry Potter</em> film franchise.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
It was released in 2022 on New Year's Day and explored the way that the cast connected with their characters. Grint, in particular, emphasized that he never knew where Ron ended and he began, leaving him on unsure footing after the franchise concluded.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Interestingly, the actors are now approximately the age that they were shown in the <em>Harry Potter</em> epilogue at the end of <em>Deathly Hallows.&nbsp;</em><br />
<br />
If ever The Cursed Child is developed into a film, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Grint could reunite to usher in the next generation of wizards. Grint has already spoken about his willingness to return, stating that he would love to, "if the timing was right."&nbsp;<br />

It's been 19 years since the Yule Ball but it seems Ron Weasely has still not asked Padma Patil for a dance. Actors Rupert Grint and Afshan Azad, who played Ron and Padma in the Harry Potter films, had a sweet reunion recently. Potter fans would recall how Ron had asked Padma to the Yule Ball in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, but the date was unsuccessful as Ron refused to dance with Padma. 19 years since the film came out, the two actors met up recently, and Afshan even shared a sweet post on Instagram. Afshan shared a side-by-side look at the two actors from the film and how they look now. In the post, Grant and Azad smile at the camera, while the next picture reveals how they looked when they were featured in Goblet of Fire. Azad reflected that "parenthood has changed us," while teasing that Grint again failed to ask her to dance after 19 years of waiting. "Padma & Ron reunited after 20+ years. Oh how parenthood has changed us all 🥲⚡️ ps He’s still not asked me to dance 🙄" wrote Afshan in the caption. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Official Afshan (@afshanazad) × Will the Harry Potter cast reunite in the near future? The final Harry Potter film - Deathly Hallow Part 2 released in 2011. Since then, quite a few cast members, including Grint, Danielle Radcliffe and Emma Watson, reunited for a special show in 2022 to take part in the 20th Anniversary of the Harry Potter film franchise. It was released in 2022 on New Year's Day and explored the way that the cast connected with their characters. Grint, in particular, emphasized that he never knew where Ron ended and he began, leaving him on unsure footing after the franchise concluded. Interestingly, the actors are now approximately the age that they were shown in the Harry Potter epilogue at the end of Deathly Hallows. If ever The Cursed Child is developed into a film, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Grint could reunite to usher in the next generation of wizards. Grint has already spoken about his willingness to return, stating that he would love to, "if the timing was right." Meanwhile, in June 2023, Warner Bros announced that they were working on a web series on Harry Potter - which is a best-selling book series by JK Rowling. The cast and director's names have not been revealed. It is also unclear if the original cast from the film would appear in any which way in the series.

The original watercolor illustration for the first edition of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" will go up for auction in New York on Wednesday. Watch in for more details!

Art that introduced 'Harry Potter' to the world up for sale

<p>The original watercolour illustration for the first edition of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" -- the book that introduced the world to the young bespectacled wizard -- sold for $1.9 million on Wednesday.</p>

<p>The artwork becomes "the most valuable Harry Potter item ever sold at auction," auction house Sotheby's said in a statement.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The illustration was chased by four bidders on the phone and online for nearly ten minutes before selling to applause."</p>

<p>The work by Thomas Taylor, who was just 23 years old in 1997 when he painted the iconic image of the young boy with the lightning bolt scar and the round glasses, had been expected to fetch between $400,000 and $600,000 at Sotheby's.</p>

<p>Taylor was working at a children's bookstore in Cambridge, England, when he was tapped by publisher Barry Cunningham at Bloomsbury to paint the image for J.K. Rowling's book, which was to be released in London on June 26, 1997.</p>

<p>He was one of the first people to read the book, getting an early copy of the manuscript to inform his artwork, according to Sotheby's books specialist Kalika Sands.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"So, he knew about the world before anybody else, and it was really up to him to think of how he visualized Harry Potter," Sands told AFP ahead of the auction.</p>

<p>Rowling and Taylor were unknown when the book was released, and few expected it would become a global phenomenon. Only 500 copies of the first edition were printed, and 300 of them were sent to libraries, according to Sotheby's.</p>

<p>But the book soon became a runaway bestseller.</p>

<p>"As I write and illustrate my own stories today, I am proud to look back on such magical beginnings," Taylor said.</p>

<p>The first time the illustration was offered at auction at Sotheby's in London in 2001, it only fetched £85,750 (about $108,500 at current exchange rates) -- but only four of the books had been published at that time.</p>

<p><em>Harry Potter </em>creator JK Rowling is in no mood to work on her differences with Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, who openly support LGBTQ+ rights. As the National Health Service (NHS) in Britain released an independent review of gender identity services for children and young people, Rowling took to social media to slam trans rights supporters and advocated the need for "proper checks and balances in place before autistic, gay and abused kids are left sterilised, inorgasmic, lifelong patients". The four-year review was commissioned by the NHS and conducted by paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass.</p>

<p>In the report, Cass states, "Children have been let down by a lack of research and remarkably weak evidence on medical interventions in gender care."</p>

<p>Reacting to the report, Rowling shared a series of posts on X and said that she was "bloody angry", claiming that "thousands are complicit, not just medics, but the celebrity mouthpieces, unquestioning media and cynical corporations".</p>

<p><strong>Also read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bravo-priyanka-chopra-is-all-praise-for-dev-patels-monkey-man-710434">'Bravo': Priyanka Chopra is all praise for Dev Patel's Monkey Man</a></strong></p>

<p>"I understand that the review's conclusions will have come as a seismic shock to those who've hounded and demonised whistleblowers and smeared opponents as bigots and transphobes, but trying to discredit Hilary Cass's work isn't merely misguided. It's actively malign," Rowling wrote on X.</p>

<p>In another X post, Rowling wrote,&nbsp;"Even if you don't feel ashamed of cheerleading for what now looks like severe medical malpractice, even if you don't want to accept that you might have been wrong, where's your sense of self-preservation? The bandwagon you hopped on so gladly is hurtling towards a cliff."</p>

<p>Things escalated when a netizen brought up <em>Harry Potter </em>stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, who have publicly supported transgender rights in the past. The post read, "Just waiting for Dan and Emma to give you a very public apology … safe in the knowledge that you will forgive them."</p>

<p>Rowling spared no time to say that forgiveness is not guaranteed. She wrote, "Not safe, I’m afraid. Celebs who cosied up to a movement intent on eroding women’s hard-won rights and who used their platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors can save their apologies for traumatised detransitioners and vulnerable women reliant on single sex spaces."</p>

<p>Back in 2020, both Watson and Radcliffe publicly opposed Rowling's opinions on trans rights. On the Trevor Project’s web page, Radcliffe wrote, "Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo or I."</p>

<p>Shortly after Radcliffe released a statement in 2020, Watson tweeted, "Trans people are who they say they are and deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned or told they aren’t who they say they are.

<p>If you are a Harry Potter fan then you must have wanted an invisibility cloak, one of the three presents of Death. Well, your prayers have been answered as a company developed a shield, similar to Harry's invisibility cloak dubbed as 'invisibility megashield.'</p>

<p>'Want to experience the power of invisibility? We've got you covered,' said the Invisibility Shield Co., a London-based startup that is selling these shields for £699.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>How does the 'invisibility megashield' work?</strong></h2>

<p>The shield makes use of a precision-engineered lens to bend the light that reflects from the person standing behind the shield away from the observer, thus making them almost invisible to the observer's eye.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The lenses in this array are oriented so that the vertical strip of light reflected by the standing/crouching subject becomes diffuse when spread out horizontally on passing through the back of the shield," the Invisibility Shield Co wrote on its Kickstarter page.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ui-state-default" contenteditable="false">

<a class="close-mark close-div" href="#" id="jqclosemark">×</a></div>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>"In contrast, the strip of light reflected from the background is much wider, so when it passes through the back of the shield, far more of it is refracted both across the shield and towards the observer. From the observer's perspective, this background light is effectively smeared horizontally across the front face of the shield, over the area where the subject would ordinarily be seen," the explanation read.</p>

<p>The megashield can hide multiple people standing behind it side by side because of its big size. The shield is 6ft tall and 4ft wide in size and is made from high-grade polycarbonate. It took Invisibility Shield Co. almost two years of testing before developing this latest model.</p>

<p>According to the developing team behind 'invisibility megashield,' the shield works best against uniform backdrops such as grass, foliage, sand, and sky, or backgrounds with defined horizontal lines work extremely well, such as the horizon, walls, rails, or painted lines, etc.</p>

<p>The company currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter, where you people can purchase the Megashield for the early bird price of £699.</p>

"The lenses in this array are oriented so that the vertical strip of light reflected by the standing/crouching subject becomes diffuse when spread out horizontally on passing through the back of the shield," the Invisibility Shield Co wrote on its Kickstarter page. × "In contrast, the strip of light reflected from the background is much wider, so when it passes through the back of the shield, far more of it is refracted both across the shield and towards the observer. From the observer's perspective, this background light is effectively smeared horizontally across the front face of the shield, over the area where the subject would ordinarily be seen," the explanation read.

The shield is 6ft tall and 4ft wide in size and is made from high-grade polycarbonate. It took Invisibility Shield Co. almost two years of testing before developing this latest model. According to the developing team behind 'invisibility megashield,' the shield works best against uniform backdrops such as grass, foliage, sand, and sky, or backgrounds with defined horizontal lines work extremely well, such as the horizon, walls, rails, or painted lines, etc. The company currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter, where you people can purchase the Megashield for the early bird price of £699.

<p>JK Rowling was reported to the British police on Thursday (March 7) by a transgender broadcaster over “misgendering” comments the "Harry Potter" author made on her social media account.</p>

<p>India Willoughby, Britain's first transgender newsreader, has accused Rowling of a "hate crime" over remarks she posted on X on Monday (March 4).</p>

<p>The 58-year-old author referred to the newsreader as a “man” in her posts.</p>

<p>"I contacted Northumbria Constabulary yesterday ... I have reported J.K. Rowling to the police for what she said," Willoughby said in an interview with independent news publisher Byline Times which it posted on X late on Wednesday.</p>

<p>"Calling a trans person a man, deliberately knowing that that person is a woman - and I am a woman regardless of what J.K. Rowling says ... my birth certificate says female, my passport, all my documents, I am legally recognised as a woman, and for J.K. Rowling to deliberately, and that is the key word, misgender me knowing who I am, is grossly offensive."</p>

Transgender broadcaster reports UK author JK Rowling to police over 'misgendering', 'hate crime'

<p>JK Rowling has a thing or two to say about a 26-year-old being jailed for murder. The 26-year-old is a transgender person who was reported by some channels, particularly Sky News, as a “woman”, which got the Harry Potter author riled up.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After Sky News posted on X about the crimes, JK Rowling said, “I’m so sick of this s**t.”</p>

<p>She then went on to explain: “This is not a woman. These are #NotOurCrimes,” adding that Scarlet Blake, the accused was a transgender and not a woman, as reported by media.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Scarlet Blake was found guilty last week of murdering a man four months after she live-streamed a video in which she killed a cat. The judge said Blake was somewhat inspired by the Netflix documentary <em>Don’t F*** With Cats</em>.&nbsp;Blake is a transgender woman. After being found guilty, Scarlet has been served a life sentence in a men’s prison.</p>

<h2><strong>What did JK Rowling think about the case and its reportage?</strong></h2>

<p>Taking to her X account, JK Rowling pointed out that Sky News did not identify Scarlet as transgender, and because it labelled the person as a woman, it maligned her gender.&nbsp;</p>

<p>JK Rowling re-shared a post from The Guardian writer Louise Tickle, who called out her own publication for also not identifying Blake as a transgender woman in its coverage of the verdict. The Harry Potter author said she agreed with “every word of this” since most channels have been referring to Scarlet as a woman instead of a transgender woman.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This is not the first time that JK Rowling has opined about her views on gender.

<p>It was in June 2020 when she tweeted “If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased.” Rowling also has suggested that trans women “retain male patterns of criminality”.

JK Rowling calls out TV channel for addressing transgender person as woman: 'Sick of this s**t'

<p>Harry Potter fans are known for their love of everything magic. This includes, but isn't limited to, wands. In England's Leicestershire, a fan of the iconic series caused a full-blown panic after firearms' officers swarmed a hotel after receiving reports of a man carrying a large knife — which later turned out to be just a Harry Potter fan carrying a wand.</p>

<h2><strong>What happened?</strong></h2>

<p>Over the weekend, police in Enderby near Leicester responded to a report about a person carrying a large knife near the hotel lifts. The mix-up, as per The Guardian, happened at a large hotel. The concerning call prompted a number of police officers to swarm the hotel.</p>

The president of the publishing house that brought out the Harry Potter books died in a speedboat crash in Italy on Thursday. 45-year-old Adrienne Vaughan, who served as the chief of Bloomsbury USA that published the novels, was holidaying with her husband and two children on the Amalfi Coast in Italy.

Harry Potter publishing house chief dies in boat crash in Italy

<p>A freak boat accident off the coast of Italy caused the death of ‘Harry Potter’ publishing house president Adrienne Vaughan in front of her children and husband.</p>

<p>The accident occurred on Thursday (Aug 3) off Amalfi Coast when the whole family aboard a speeding boat crashed into a sailing ship, which was carrying 85 people celebrating a wedding.</p>

<p>Bloomsbury USA publishing house chief Adrienne Vaughan, 44, whose company is best known for the “Harry Potter” book, died on the spot, her husband sustained injuries. While both of their kids — daughter Leanna, 14, and son Mason, 11 — remained unharmed, they were treated for traumatic shock.</p>

<p>"Adrienne Vaughan was a leader of dazzling talent and infectious passion and had a deep commitment to authors and readers," said the association's board chair, Julia Reidhead, and its president and CEO, Maria A&nbsp;Pallante, in a joint statement.</p>

<p>"Most of all she was an extraordinary human being, and those of us who had the opportunity to work with her will be forever fortunate."</p>

<h2><strong>Impact knocked&nbsp;Adrienne into water</strong></h2>

<p>According to Italian state TV, the crash knocked Adrienne into the water, where she landed between the hulls of the two vessels, and was struck fatally by the motorboat's propeller. &nbsp;</p>

<p>“She didn’t have an arm and the nape of her neck was white, as if no blood was flowing,” Pietro Iuzzolino, a bartender on the sailing ship “Tortuga”, told the Italian newspaper Corriere del Mezzogiorno. “It was terrible.”</p>

<h2><strong>Boat's driver was drunk</strong>&nbsp;</h2>

<p>The driver of the speed boat, the 30-year-man old whose name has not been revealed, was also injured in the crash, and reportedly failed toxicology tests after the crash, suggesting that he was drunk at the time of the accident, Italian news agency ANSA reported.</p>

<p>“We got the impression he was drunk,” Iuzzolino, who saw the speedboat driver vomiting after the crash, was quoted as saying.</p>

<p>After the collision, Adrienne was taken to a pier where first responders tried desperately to save her life in an ambulance.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When her condition deteriorated, an air ambulance was also called to the area.&nbsp;But by the time it arrived around 7 pm (local time), she was declared dead.&nbsp;</p>

‘Harry Potter’ publishing house president killed in front of family while holidaying in Italy

<p>Daniel Radcliffe has given a lot of great performances in several acclaimed projects, be it TV or film, but it is likely that whatever he does, he will always be associated with the <em>Harry Potter</em> series — for better or worse. Such is the enduring popularity of those movies. The studio in charge of JK Rowling's <em>Wizarding World</em> franchise, Warner Bros Discovery, is aware of the recognition of this intellectual property. Thus, the upcoming Max TV reboot. But will Radcliffe be a part of it? The British actor was asked by Comicbook.com exactly that. Radcliffe responded his "understanding is that they’re trying to very much start fresh, and I’m sure whoever is making them will want to make their own mark on it and probably not want to have to figure out how to get old Harry to cameo in this somewhere.."</p>

<p>"So, I’m definitely not seeking it out in any way," he added. He went on to say that he is "very excited" to have that torch passed "but I don’t think it needs me to physically pass it.”</p>

<p>Well, it makes sense. Of course, Radcliffe cannot reprise his role in a series that restarts the story of the Boy Who Lived. But that doesn't mean he cannot appear in a cameo or in another role. These kinds of "surprises" are, after all, all the rage these days.</p>

<h2><strong>What we know about the <em>Harry Potter </em>TV show so far</strong></h2>

<p>We know that as per the studio, each season of the show will cover one book worth of material in the series, which ideally should allow for more relaxed, deeper storytelling as compared to the movies.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>The official description of the <em>Harry Potter</em> series</strong></h2>

<p>The official description of the series reads: “The stories from each of Rowling’s <em>Harry Potter</em> books will become a decade-long series produced with the same epic craft, love and care this global franchise is known for. The series will feature a new cast to lead a new generation of fandom, full of the fantastic detail, much loved characters and dramatic locations that <em>Harry Potter </em>fans have loved for over 25 years. Each season will be authentic to the original books and bring Harry Potter and these incredible adventures to new audiences around the world, while the original, classic and beloved films will remain at the core of the franchise and available to watch globally.”&nbsp;</p>

The official description of the Harry Potter series The official description of the series reads: “The stories from each of Rowling’s Harry Potter books will become a decade-long series produced with the same epic craft, love and care this global franchise is known for. The series will feature a new cast to lead a new generation of fandom, full of the fantastic detail, much loved characters and dramatic locations that Harry Potter fans have loved for over 25 years. Each season will be authentic to the original books and bring Harry Potter and these incredible adventures to new audiences around the world, while the original, classic and beloved films will remain at the core of the franchise and available to watch globally.” WATCH WION LIVE HERE You can now write for wionews.com and be a part of the community.
