New Scholastic Box Set of All Seven Harry Potter Novels

The first image of a special box set due from Scholastic containing all seven Harry Potter novels is now online. This set, whichyou can see here in our galleries, includes a nice case or trunk with the Harry Potter logo on it, as well as what seems to be printed hardback copies of all seven of the books, including Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. While we do not know if this is the actual printed book, or perhaps one they used as a mock up for the photo, it is a reminder that yes indeed, the last book is definitely on its way. wow. This set, which is available for pre-ordervia our Cauldron Shop, is set to be released on October 1, 2007.

Thanks much wert!

UPDATE: Thanks to reader Jay, we also know this set is also available viaBarnes and Noble, and there it states the "the books come snugly packed in a decorative, trunk-like box with sturdy handles and a privacy lock -- and includes decorative stickers."

Accio Canon Portkey!

Our friends at our Floo Partner the Harry Potter Lexicon have been hard at work creating a new way to enjoy and delve deeper into the world of the Harry Potter novels. Steve Vander Ark and his team have created a Canon Portkey, which you can use to explore what they are calling 'events' or a discrete scene in the books. For each scene, data entry volunteers entered some factual information such as the location of an event, the date and time, and the page numbers in various editions of the novels. There are also tags and icons which pertain to these events and will allow for greater depth and exploration of each event. Still in beta form with a few things being tweaked, with the data entry still very much an ongoing process, you can learn more about this here, and Accio Canon Portkey hereto enjoy this cool research tool. Enjoy!

J.K.Rowling, Emma Thompson, and Julie Walters Women We Love

The Daily Mail on Sunday You Magazine recently celebrated 25 years in publication and featured "25 Women We Love." Included in this list were Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, actress Emma Thompson (Professor Trelawney), and actress Julie Walters (Molly Weasley). Of JKR the magazine noted:

Our admiration for J K Rowling is not just based on her own magnificent rags-to-riches story (penniless single mum becomes the first writer to become a US-dollar billionaire, and the only British woman on the Forbes 2007 list of the super-rich) but also on the way that she has changed the world's reading habits.

Literary snobs might question her place as Greatest Living British Writer (the title was conferred on her by The Book Magazine last year) but anyone who can make reading cool among young boys deserves our eternal gratitude.

Private - and sometimes a little prickly - Harry Potter's 41-year-old creator is a world-wide phenomenon who has raised our national morale and our children's reading age.

"I try to strike a balance between being very grateful for what has happened – because I am so hugely grateful for it – and I am terrified of hubris because I think it could all go wrong tomorrow," she says.
