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!
The National Movie Awards aired live this evening in the UK, and as usual Harry Potter was one of the big winners. Deathly Hallows Part 1 picked up Best Fantasy Film and Deathly Hallows Part 2 was named most anticipated movie of the summer.
Producers David Heyman and David Barron were there to accept the awards along with Bonnie Wright. Meanwhile Bonnie's fiance Jamie Campbell Bower, who appeared in Deathly Hallows Part 1 as the young Grindelwald, won the 'One to Watch' award. All the awards were voted for by the British movie-going public.
There's also a nice Harry Potter montage in the middle looking back at all the awards its won at the NMAs in the past. I managed to record all the HP related footage and you can watch that right here:

Time-Turner Tuesday: Order of the Phoenix becomes fastest selling book ever on its release
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.
