Harry Potters

As Harry Potter begins his 6th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he discovers an old book marked mysteriously "This book is the property of the Half-Blood Prince" and begins to learn more about Lord Voldemort's dark past.Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle (human) and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information.

Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simmering with jealousy but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.
Synopsis of the story from the video clips trailer of Harry potter and the half blood prince:




The origins of Harry Potter, quite literally while being stuck on a delayed train between London and Manchester, Rowling says that Harry Potter's character strode, "fully-formed" into her head way back in 1990. She began conceiving of the entire basis for the Harry Potter books while on this train journey, committing it largely to memory as she was without paper or a pen. She later said that she spent the next five years largely researching and making notes for the entire series and Harry's world (and, of course, writing Philosopher's Stone, which was completed by sometime in 1995). She has said that numerous details from her notes about Harry's world will never make it into the novels. Having decided that "one of the unifying characteristics of any given society is sport," she invented Quidditch in about 1991 after an argument with her then-boyfriend. Rowling says that she created the names for the four houses of Hogwarts on the back of an airplane sickbag.
Rowling professes that she experienced a brief bout with depression in 1994, during the time she was struggling to make ends meet for herself and her infant daughter. Her experience with depression made a lasting impact on her and inspired the Dementors that first appear in Prisoner of Azkaban. On depression, Rowling said, "It is that absence of being able to envisage that you will ever be cheerful again. The absence of hope. That very deadened feeling, which is so very different from feeling sad." It was after settling in Edinburgh at the end of 1993 that Rowling began to write the first Harry Potter novel. She wrote in longhand on notepads in several Edinburgh cafes, most notably Nicolson's café near Edinburgh University, where she was an unemployed mother living on benefits.
After being rejected by a series of publishers, Barry Cunningham, then of Bloomsbury publishers, signed up Rowling and the author and company never looked back. Rowling is known as the world's first billion-dollar author.
She has sold 400 million copies of her Harry Potter series about young wizard Potter, his adventures at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and his battles with the evil Voldemort.

Looking back at the turn of the millennium, they were just a bunch of kids — some with a bit of professional acting experience, most completely raw — that were fortunate and talented enough to be cast in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." The film conjured up almost $1 billion at the worldwide box office, and as "Potter" movie after "Potter" movie went into production over the years, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and the rest of the core cast essentially grew up together. Almost a decade after their first witch-and-wizard adventure, the child actors have morphed into young adults and become like family — and the story lines have matured along with them.

The trio posed together in August 2000, shortly after being selected to star as the Harry Potter characters in Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone as announced at a news conference in London.
Growing up: The trio pose together to promote the second film Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets in 2002.



The trio pose together again in 2004 at the launch of Harry Potter And The Prisoner

Developing their style: The three show their own taste in 2005 as they promote Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire.

And then in 2007 as they launch Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix.

With the last filming on the last installment almost completed, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which is being split in two after it is impossible to cram the 608-page novel into one film. the trio are now preparing for life after Hogwarts.


Drenched: Daniel Radcliffe, who stars as Harry Potter, got drenched as he stepped out onto the red carpet at premiere in London.

Rupert Grint didn't let the bad weather dampen his spirits as he dances in the downpour.

The 19-year-old is busy preparing for the end of the Harry Potter franchise and her start at U.S. university Columbia in September. And, despite her worldwide fame, she has revealed she hopes to be just another 'anonymous' student and has registered under her middle name Charlotte.

Emma says with the end of filming on the series of eight films, she will be saying goodbye to her 'second family' on the Watford set.
But, despite her change in direction, Emma is fast becoming the highest profile of the trio, eclipsing even Harry himself. She is making strides in putting her role as Hermione behind her
as she is now in advertisements in Vogue for fashion house Burberry, seen in the front row at Chanel catwalk shows and on the cover of various glossy magazines in model poses.
Daniel Radcliffe, who turns 20 this month, has chosen to focus on establishing a name for himself as a serious actor, finding acclaim on the stage in high-profile Broadway and West End shows.The actor, who stars in the films as Harry Potter, even stripped off for his demanding role in the disturbing Equus. But he has admitted to having doubts about his future in the acting world.'Hopefully just keep acting is the plan,' he said today. 'I just want to keep going for as long as I can and I've had a fantastic time with Potter. I will be very sad to leave it.'In an interview with this month's Esquire he revealed that despite his success he has fears about the future: 'The thing is, in a few years I'll be 21, 22, and that's when all the guys who've been at drama school will come out.'They've been learning dance or singing and all that stuff, and I'm going to need to compete with them because I won't have Harry Potter as my safety net any more.

'The final member of the trio, Rupert Grint, the 20-year-old, who plays Harry's best friend Ron Weasley, was equally modest about his prospects. 'It's always at the back of my mind that acting might come to an end for me when Harry Potter finishes. I don't know if I'm good enough to have a long career,' he said. 'I've got a bit of an inferiority complex about my acting. My self-esteem is quite low in that sense.'Despite Rupert's worries he has just completed filming on Wild Target, in which he stars alongside Bill Nighy as an apprentice hitman. He also starred in the gritty thriller Cherrybomb, in which he played a troubled youth dabbling in sex, drugs and violence.But, whatever happens to the Harry Potter stars in their future careers, they are financially set up for life - with personal fortunes worth tens of millions of pounds.


A 3,000-strong crowd turned out to the premiere in London, braving the torrential rain.
Commenting on the crowd Emma Watson said: 'It's just so fantastic that people have been so dedicated to come down and see us all. My message to the fans is thank you so much I love you all.'
Watson said she'll be sad when the series finally comes to an end in 2011.
'We'll all miss it,' she said, 'but I think you underestimate the longevity of the books and the series. I don't think it's going anywhere fast, I think new generations of children will keep reading the books and hopefully watching the films.'

The actress, who plays Hermione Granger in the Potter films, appeared on the show to promote Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which is released in cinemas on July 15. It is the sixth film in the hugely successful series.

The 19-year-old was grilled about the embarrassing episode by chatshow host David Letterman on the Late Show with Letterman.

She had to brave heavy rains at the movie’s world premiere of the latest Harry Potter in London and then her wardrobe malfunction while walking the red carpet.When Emma reached down to pick up the long, flowing skirt of her vintage gown to keep from stepping on it, the waist-high slit on the skirt opened, exposing Emma’s knickers to crowd of thousands.

Tell us what's going on here,' said a deadpan Letterman as he put a copy of the picture on his desk.
'I don't actually remember it happening.' She replied and she laughed off the incident on U.S. television, saying: 'At least I was wearing underwear.'

Paris Hilton & Cristiano Ronaldo - Next Posh & Becks?

Megabucks Cristiano Ronaldo dine out with a group of friends in LA on the 10th of June last wednesday evening in celebrating the world record 80 million pounds transfer deal to Real Madrid.As we recall, United manager Sir Alex Ferguson who once famously said of Spanish giants Real Madrid that he would not 'sell that mob a virus', had found 80 million very good reasons to change his mind.
Whilst making his way around the club of Beverley Hills,Ronaldo bumped into newly single Paris Hilton at MyHouse in Hollywood.
Pictured above are Paris and ex-boyfriend Doug Reinhardt at a premiere on Tuesday night - a day before they split.Just hours earlier Paris Hilton ditched boyfriend Doug Reinhardt after they got into an argument at the Dark Room club when she catched Doug eyeing up with another woman in a Hollywood club on tuesday night.She stormed out of the club and sat slumped outside crying.
According to a friend she realised that Doug is a douche just like everyone tried to tell her and that he was only dating her for publicity.
A cutting statement released by Doug's spokesperson read: 'Doug refuses to take part of this ridiculous media circus. He wishes Paris and all of her future boyfriends the best of luck.'

Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt may have looked a perfect pairing with their matching poses but they have called it quits after just six months which their split came just four days after the couple celebrated their six month anniversary in Chicago. Paris had promised to marry strapping Reinhardt but ended the relationship after a row on Tuesday night.The break-up comes despite Paris, 28, and The Hills star, 23, declaring their love for each other at every opportunity during their short-lived but very high-profile courtship.
If Ronaldo is the newest man in Paris's life, he is just the latest in a string of high-profile boyfriends in her life.
In 2002 Paris was due to marry model Jason Shaw but the relationship fizzled out.Three years later and she was said to be engaged to the Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis but the relationship did not last.
She has also dated Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden, Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos and Rick Saloman.
Single and ready to mingle: After announcing her split and mourned her break-up with Doug Reinhardt, Paris puts on a brave face and headed out for a dinner at LA's Nobu with sister Nicky before moving on to MyHouse.
Paris Hilton already appears to have moved on from the relationship when she certainly perked up when she discovered Ronaldo, wearing jeans and a shiny gold shirt, was at the club with a group of friends.
Ronaldo made a beeline for Paris as soon as he spotted her with Nicky in My House. He had intended to have drinks with some cousins but quit them to spend the rest of the night with Paris.

A nightclub source said: "As soon as he saw Paris, Cristiano kept staring at her and looking her up and down. "He went over to her table to say hi - and appeared to be smitten. The two were flirting and laughing together all night. It was as if no woman but Paris existed in the club. "Cristiano told Paris all about his new deal with Real Madrid and they toasted his massive new pay packet with Cristal champagne." A bottle of Cristal can cost up to £650. And the club source said Ronaldo spent more than £15,000 on the bubbly and other drinks.

He looked in his element as the pair of them cosied up in a discreet table in the corner. “They were whispering into each other’s ears. They looked very close and Paris was loving all the attention.” An onlooker said: "Ronaldo and Paris were all over each other, kissing in a VIP booth. They were kissing on the lips and meeting people as a couple, holding hands or with his arm around her. Her hands were all over his lap. There was a lot of very suggestive body language.

"They looked adorable together. It was as though they'd been dating for ages. He was reclined all the way back in a chair with his legs spread wide open. It looked almost pornographic. "Paris's black minidress was getting higher and higher as the night wore on. At one point people on a neighbouring table threw silver confetti at them. A bunch stuck to Paris's upper thigh, which she draped over Ronaldo's lap."

They left at 3am going ostentatiously in separate directions, his entourage in a stretch Hummer and then the Hiltons in a people carrier, but not before Paris was overheard giving directions to someone on her mobile. Ronaldo then arrived at her home alone in a taxi and hurried quickly inside, before leaving two hours later at 5am looking sheepish with a broad grin plastered across his face.
Paris, later confirmed she and the Portuguese wonder winger were an item. She told a pal: "He's hot, a real athlete - and the chemistry between us was electric." The American party girl hitched up with Ronaldo just 24 hours after dumping previous love Doug Reinhardt. He has played baseball for the Anaheim Angels and Baltimore Orioles - and is a TV personality in the States. But in a withering put-down last night, Paris told a friend: "Cristiano's much better than my ex. He was nothing but a low-paid minor league baseball player."

A happy Paris Hilton arrives for a photo shoot at HD Vision studio's in LA on Friday after reportedly entertaining Cristiano Ronaldo, seen on Thursday, at her Beverly Hills home.

And a pal said: "She was determined to get her man this time. And what Paris wants, Paris gets. "She has been telling anyone who will listen that Ronaldo is the hottest thing she has ever seen. "She thinks he is sexy and exotic, and loves his body. And she loves men with accents. She says it's like an aphrodisiac."

Paris’s night with Ronaldo came a year after her first failed attempt to seduce the football superstar — and just hours after she split from her boyfriend.

The Manchester United striker - was in LA on an undisclosed business trip - arrived at trendy hotspot Villa in the early hours of Wednesday morning. A source said: 'Paris was all over him. The moment he arrived, she went over to his private table. 'At one point, she pushed her chest together and made a point of trying to snuggle up against him. 'But Ronaldo clearly wasn't interested in Paris. He turned his back on her.'

Anyway,it must have gone well because in less than 24 hours after their first steamy night, Cristiano Ronaldo returned for some extra time with Paris Hilton in the early hours on Friday the 12th of June. The 28-year-old hotel heiress held a small private party at her Beverly Hills home. And locals said Ronaldo, 24, was among those invited to the intimate bash.A neighbour at Paris' gated community said Ronaldo was seen arriving at her home just after midnight on Friday morning and spent an hour with her.



A day after he canoodled with Paris Hilton all over Los Angeles, Cristiano Ronaldo laughed it up with his boys by the hotel pool.
She was busy texting furiously as she emerged in Hollywood while Ronaldo was seen showing phone messages to his cousins as he lounged around the pool at his Beverly Hills hotel, prompting speculation the two were contacting each other.
An onlooker said: “He looked like the cat that got the cream.
“He was kicking back and entertaining his mates with his stories.
“The group were getting louder and louder and laughing more and more as the afternoon went on. “He clearly had a story or two to tell his mates after the 24 hours he’d just had.
“It looked like he was enjoying spilling the beans — and the lads were loving hearing about it.”

Paris said afterwards : 'He's a very nice guy - and an incredible athlete. 'We’re getting to know each other and I have to leave it at that. 'Cristiano and I are good friends. Very good friends.'
Now SHE is playing hard to get - and has told pals she plans to make Ronaldo work for anything long-term, saying she just wants to have fun for now. A pal said: "She thinks Cristiano is a sweet guy and finds his attention incredibly flattering. But he lives too far away and she's simply not ready for anything serious right now."

Family affair: Paris Hilton leaves Mr. Chow restaurant in LA with her mother Kathy and father Rick .But did she tell them exactly what she's been up to this week, and with whom? Not that they couldn't know already.
Hilton has enjoyed two highly-publicised hook-ups with footballer Ronaldo last week as he celebrated signing for Real Madrid in a huge £80million deal.
For the hotel heiress, it has also been a memorable few days as she split with boyfriend Doug Reinhardt on the 09th of Tuesday, is now delighted that Ronaldo is smitten with HER after their two nights of love. As Paris, 28, celebrated her coup by dining with her family, at the exclusive Mr Chow restaurant in Beverly Hills, a friend close to the socialite said: "Ronaldo is totally besotted with Paris. "He says she's the sexiest girl he's ever met and is telling everyone how amazing and hot she is. "They have an awesome chemistry together and she thinks he's incredibly charming and handsome. "As for Cristiano, he's totally hooked. Paris has this way of getting under a guy's skin, and he's been utterly mesmerised by her charms."

Paris Hilton and Cristiano Ronaldo have vowed to make their long-distance relationship work.
The socialite and the soccer star, who spent hours kissing in a Los Angeles nightclub last week, have promised to remain faithful to each other while Paris is in Dubai filming a new TV show and he is in Spain.
A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "He is really taken by Paris. It could be something big. Paris has to go to Dubai with work, and that will test how serious they are about each other.
"There's a feeling that neither needs the other one's money, which is a breath of fresh air for the pair of them - they're normally on the lookout for gold diggers. They've pledged to keep in touch and have been texting each other all the time.
"Fortunately, Paris understands that every time Cristiano is pictured with another girl, he's not being unfaithful. It will be very interesting to see what happens."
However, Cristiano's mother Dolores Averio reportedly doesn't approve of her son's new socialite lover.
The source added: "She's not every mother's ideal daughter-in-law. She's not too happy with Cristiano falling for her, but she knows he's a grown man so will let him make his own mistakes."
