Warner Brothers has recently released a new hi-res still from HBP, it can be viewed by following this link. I have also updated the Caption Contest, and will look forward to receiving entries for that. ~Vi

Happy Valentine's Day, Sidekicks! To commemorate this special day, here's news that Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger rank 8th on Entertainment Weekly's Pop Culture's Best Couples.

 

RON WEASLEY AND HERMIONE GRANGER

The Harry Potter cycle
Jealousy, betrayal...love
potions: That's teen wizard romance for ya. Harry Potter's best friends
didn't officially become a couple until Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows but their love/hate relationship turned soap opera in Goblet of Fire.
At times they've been controversial (Ron/Hermione fans still have scars
from their online wars with the Harry/Hermione faithful), but that's as
risqué as this teen duo gets. —Joy Piedmont

Entertainment Weekly's Pop Culture's Best Couples: 26 True (Fictional) Lovers

 

Emma's official site has been updated with a blog by Emma with Half Blood Prince movie news!:

"We have actually just finished a scene with Lavender and Ron kissing, where Hermione gets really jealous which was quite fun!"

Awww.

Btw, Happy 2008 everyone!!

It can mutually be agreed that the Short Story contest crashed and burned, and there aren't enough excuses to cover for that. But at this time, I WOULD like to announce the winner of the contest, Lav-Lav for her story "When You're Not Guaranteed a Single Second More."

I hope all can be forgiven, and I promise not to tackle any more big projects any time soon ;)

I've started making a list of all the wonderful, brilliant writings full of sidekickerliciousness (missing scene or not).

Latest in R/H Fanfiction 

Hey guys, Din here. I just got back from another viewing of OotP and checked back here to read the movies quotes, but realized we don't have it yet. I jotted down the moments I've noticed from the film, although I'm pretty sure there are still one or two moments from the film missing. So if you guys can help out, that would be greatly appreciated. :)

OotP Movie Quotes

Emma Watson updated her official website and shared a little bit about what she thought of Deathly Hallows. We've added it to our Quotes Page here, and you can read her entire message on her website here. Spoilers, still.

Our JKR Interviews page has been updated, with all the latest from her interviews from the Today Show to the live chat that happened over at Bloomsbury this morning. Answers from what the third smell for Hermione's Amortentia really is to how JKR felt about writing *the moment* and much, much more are included here (Beware of spoilers, of course).

Thanks to Leaky for the tip off about a new article/interview with Jo Rowling who answered some questions about jobs/status of the characters in the series that should have been in the epilogue but wasn't included because Jo wanted it to be "nebulous" and "Poetic." Click here to read this article and here to watch the video (Today Show), and this is a spoiler warning to anyone who hasn't read the book, obviously. Second part of the Today Show interview with JKR is up! Read the article here.

Jo says that there is a high possibility of there being a Harry Potter Encyclopedia written by herself, coming out in the future, which would most likely answer every plothole and detail that didn't fit in the 7 books. Fingers crossed!
