	All 15,000 copies of the Vietnamese translation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince printed were whisked off the shelves by mid-morning Saturday, prompting an additional printing of 10,000 copies of the translation to appease fans who slept in. The translation was released exactly 70 days after the English edition.

	Two more new pictures from the 2006 Goblet of Fire calendar have surfaced, giving us our first look at the Wizengamot court trial and a lovely new shot of Fleur Delacour. The Wizengamot picture shows a particularly sinister Barty Crouch, Jr. in the forefront and Karkaroff behind bars in the background. Thanks to HPANA for the tip!

	Harry Potter stars Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom), Devon Murray (Seamus Finnigan), Chris Rankin (Percy Weasley), and Jamie Yeates (Marcus Flint) are all planning on attending "The Coolest Show on Earth" in Orlando, Florida next January. There was some disappointment last year after a few booked HP guests were forced to cancel due to filming commitments, but the show's organizers tell us that they "have solid confirmations from all four actors this time around." Tickets are not yet available through the show's website, but we'll update you once they are.

High-res GOF trailer without the subtitles:
Posted by Darren on 09-23-05 @ 2:14 PM - 24 comments
	The French-subtitled trailer released yesterday can now be downloaded from us without the subtitles. It's ever so slightly not as crisp as the subtitled version; hence its slightly smaller file size of 10MB [.wmv]. WB is not currently planning to release this trailer officially, so this may be the best-quality version we'll get!

	Thanks to Warner Bros. for sending over four high-resolution stills from the new Goblet of Fire theatrical trailer, released a week and a day ago on AOL Moviefone. The stills show Dumbledore preparing to put a memory into the pensieve, Harry and Hermione hugging in the First Task tent, Mad-Eye Moody, and Ron and Padma Patil at the Yule Ball. Also, today marks the nationwide release of Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, so if you want to see the new trailer on the big screen, here's your chance!

New interviews with Cedric and Cho:

Posted by Matthew on 09-23-05 @ 11:54 AM - 31 comments

Virgin.net has posted new interviews with Robert Pattinson (Cedric) and Katie Leung (Cho). From the interview with Robert:

VN: Do you guys socialise off set?
Robert Pattinson: Yeah, I'm really good friends with Stan and Katie. We were all in the same boat as we all started new and I started on the same day as Stan. Stan and I did a lot of on-screen stuff together so we bonded well. All the cast are really nice but they are always busy, always, always on set.

And from the interview with Katie:

VN: How does it feel to be Harry Potter's first kiss?
Katie Leung: It feels great! I feel even luckier and appreciative to have got this role because so many girls would do anything to be in my position. The scenes where he's gazing at me from afar were really fun to film because you had to give him this look and tease him. I had to do a lot of looking back to make him think he's got a chance when really he hasn't because I have a boyfriend.

The full interviews can be read here and here. Thanks to TLC for the tip!
