"Harry Potter" Web series made from fan fiction.

Today we have a trailer of a new and hopefully soon to be released fan fiction based show called Auror's Tale.  From the video below you will see that it is made by some seriously hardcore and very talented Harry Potter fans and is based on an Auror's life in Manhattan.  It looks like a few actors from various CW show's are getting in on the action as well.  They have started their own kickstarter to simply pay for the production of the Web Series.  They are clear that they do not want to make money of this and simply want people to enjoy the Harry Potter world from a different perspective.  The production quality is pretty awesome in this trailer so I am interested to see how this turns out.

Harry Potter free for Amazon Prime members.

It looks like Amazon gave J. K. Rowling an offer she just couldn't refuse.  For what I am sure, is one large sum of money, Amazon will soon offer all of the Harry Potter books for free if you have their Amazon Prime service.  Amazon is really trying to push this service, which also offers unlimited viewing of some TV shows and older movies, as well as their lending library, and free shipping on most products.  So, if you are one of the people who have this service then it looks like it just got a lot better for you with just the addition of these great books.  Keep in mind you can only have one book out per month at a time.

Pottermore: for those who just can't get over Harry Potter

Ok, so seriously my last name is Potter so I just can't help myself to love the Harry Potter series.  I mean come on it's a totally amazing book series and movie series that will capture kids and grownups imaginations for generations to come.  Well this week J.K. Rowling finally rolled out Pottermore in more than just a beta form.  Not only can you finally officially get the Harry Potter books in ebook format for your favorite reader but you can participate in the wonderful world of Harry Potter.  It includes classes, games, and just a fun time exploring the site and finding hidden things and excerpts from J.K Rowling additions to the Harry Potter story.  Seriously though go check it out if you are a fan of Harry Potter.

Look what happened to Hermione!

OK, so this technically has nothing to do with a tech blog but it has everything to do with a geek blog.  Besides it's  my blog so there!  Seriously though any geek who is anybody loves them some Harry Potter so of course you are interested to see what the cast is up to these days.

Here we have Emma Watson on the set of her new movie "The Bling Ring" and I must say she looks stunning.  I always figured that she would be the one to have the best carrier after the Harry Potter Series.   After all major book to movie series stars or well fantasy/scifi stars usually don't get a chance to do other stuff simply because everyone sees them always in that one role.  Even though I have no idea what this movie is about I am intrigued!  Let's hope this is the beginning of an amazing carrier for her.
