Accio! is sprinkled with obsessive compulsive disorder, like fairy eggs on a lawn. I meet a woman who announces that she listens to the Harry Potter audiotapes continuously. "When I finish one, I begin another. When I am walking, when I am eating, when I am cleaning the house, when I am sleeping, I listen to Harry." A sinister oneupmanship infests the rooms; who has the most exhaustive knowledge of the canon? "How many times did Harry get a zero in potions?" snaps one witch. "I ... I don't know," her friend stammers.

The Guardian has an amusing if rather snide report on Accio!, the first British Harry Potter convention, here.

Harry Potter porn?! There's some sick bunnys out there . . .

Dare I look at the link...

Maybe just a peak...

It's safe don't worry about it.

In the most fundamentally ridiculous move since they tried to ban Spongebob Squarepants for being (suspected as) gay, Harry Potter and his pagan magical tendencies for some reason seems to really upset the Christian-right. And I find that hilarious. Maybe I'll even pick up a copy at some point (between 9am and 5pm).

I don't get it ... How come it says "Tom Marvolo Riddle" when that is Voldy??

According to an article in The Courier Mail, fans have made Warner Bros aware of two major mistakes in the upcoming film. In a publicity picture from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (seen in the July 29th issue of Entertainment Weekly), Potter fanatics noticed problems with a tombstone in the background that read "Tom Marvolo Riddle 1915-1943". Firstly, Tom Marvolo Riddle being the birth name of Harry's arch enemy, Lord Voldemort, could not possibly be engraved on a tombstone in the fourth HP movie because he is STILL ALIVE! Secondly, if Voldemort is still living, then the dates one the tombstone would have to be incorrect as well. Because the picture with this big goof-up is a still taken directly from the most recent cut of the film, it raises a big issue.

Now Warner Bros. is wondering what to do before the film's release on November 16.
Producers are said to be considering altering the tombstone with the latest computer wizardry.

They have ruled out re-shooting scenes involving Radcliffe. But it is unlikely they can simply ignore the issue after it led to a fierce online debate.

One Australian fan, calling himself Sickle, said: "This drove me crazy."

Some also wondered why Rowling, who takes a keen interest in the movies, did not point out the errors.

Of course...many fans wondered if the name engraved on the tombstone was supposed to be Tom Riddle (as in Lord Voldemort's muggle father), but the middle name, Marvolo, makes the etching incorrect.

You speak the truth!

One Australian fan, calling himself Sickle, said: "This drove me crazy."

According to comingsoon.net, it has been given a PG-13 rating.  All the other movies have been PG (not sure how you all break it down).

The first picture of the Riddles gardener [Frank Bryce] has come to light. Click here to see it.

Are there any shots of Madam Mixine yet then?  Did i here right that she was being played by Audrey Tatou?

No, you didn't, she's being played by Frances de la Tour (Mrs. Jones from Rising Damp).

Best picture I've found so far.

Just been looking at that again, is it me or does Krum look like he's stepped out of the current Smirnoff Ice adverts?

Not exactly the asian goddess that would lure Harry from all other girls I had in mind, but there again what do I know?!

A proper version of the International trailer has been released, although it does have French subtitles.
