Thanks to a collaboration between Wizarding World and the long-standing Talisman games, that space has been filled. With Hogwarts: Legacy delayed into 2022, there is a space in the market for a new Harry Potter game. However, despite being a game under the Wizarding World brand, there are a lot of differences between this latest Talisman board game and the events in J.K. If you care about S.P.E.W., you can always check out a Harry and the Potters concert, where they are sure to play their song covering the topic.Fans of The Boy Who Lived can now get their hands on Talisman: Harry Potter, a new board game that will allow them to revisit the magical Wizarding World of Hogwarts with Harry and Dumbledore. in the book either, but it made Hermione more lovable (and at times, intolerable) for caring so much about the social injustices against elves. As it were, no one cared too much about S.P.E.W. No elves also meant no Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare (S.P.E.W.), Hermione's political organization to get house-elves more rights. Where was Dobby? Where was Winky?! Poor Winky didn't even exist in the movies. Alas, Charlie is never seen in any of the movies - minus one fleeting glimpse of a family postcard from Egypt. Rowling does not support the abuse of magical creatures.Īnother sad side effect of changing the dragons' portrayal is that it meant no Charlie Weasley (who, admit it, sounds like he's kind of hot in the books). Because even though the Triwizard Tournament is way too intense for anyone (let alone teenagers) to be involved in, it is still a school-sanctioned event and all. In the book, fighting a dragon was scary enough, so he stayed within the arena and used his flying skills and a well-played Accio spell to get the egg from the dragon. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets director Chris Columbus had been too safe and juvenile, while Prisoner of Azkaban director Alfonso Cuarón went a bit too off book (remember the talking shrunken head on the Knight Bus?).

HARRY POTTER FILM BOOK MOVIE
Don't get too jealous, everybody.īut I just KNEW the movie was going to be the best yet. What I got was Rupert Grint waving from a limo, and a glimpse of Robert Pattinson and Katie Leung walking away from the theater. I didn't get to see the movie, but I had plans of meeting Daniel Radcliffe and crew afterwards. In all the Potter-movie excitement, it's important to go back to our HP roots and compare the first real game-changing Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, to its movie counterpart.Īs a serious Potterhead, I "attended" the NYC premiere of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire back in 2005. Rowling posting new stories and updates from the Quidditch World Cup on Pottermore to coincide with the real World Cup, it's the perfect time to indulge in a Harry Potter marathon.
HARRY POTTER FILM BOOK TV
The World Cup final airs on Sunday, but there's another exciting TV event happening this weekend for the more literary-minded - ABC Family's Harry Potter Weekend movie marathon.
