When the March issue of Tatler Magazine hits newsstands this month, all Potterheads should rejoice because Bonnie Wright is featured. Below is a photo of Wright wearing an embroidered coat and jewelled belt designed by Prada. Wright briefly talks about her favorite fashion choices (she loves wearing Vans) and places to shop, her favorite being her parents jewelry shop ”Wright & Teague”. Thanks goes out to so-bonnie.net for the photo!
As we found out at the end of last year, not only is there a second HP theme park to be built in Hollywood, there are also set to be some exciting new developments at the original Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal Orlando.
We’ve posted a bit of information regarding this on the site over the last few weeks and months, but we’ve slightly neglected you of all the details. So here is everything that is known or rumoured so far. The information comes via Hypable.com and their sources Screamscape.com, InsideTheMagic.net and BehindTheThrills.com, who have all been following this closely.
Our second Time-Turner Tuesday post comes from a CBBC Newsround article (via the archives of Snitchseeker.com) from 23rd June 2003, 2 days after the release of the fifth book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
The article breaks the news that the book has become the fastest selling on record.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the fastest-selling book ever.
Five million copies of the book were sold in the US in the first day. One million were sold in Britain, more than twice as many as Prisoner of Azkaban sold in its first year!
It’s smashed records as fans all over the world race to get their hands on book five.
One US bookstore, a branch of Barnes and Noble, said the book was flying off their shelves at a rate of more than 80 per second!
‘Barmy’
It looks like OOTP is going to be 10 times more popular than the Goblet Of Fire, their spokesman said.
All around the UK, booksellers have described the mayhem surrounding OOTP as “barmy” and “manic”.
Bookshops everywhere opened their doors at midnight on Friday so the desperate fans could get hold of the book as soon as it went on sale.
You can read the whole thing right here. Come back next week to reminisce on another special something from ‘Potter’ history.
