| Potter fans take over IMDb polls |
| We asked you last week to vote on your favorite movies and actors of 2005 at IMDb, and the results were astonishing. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was catapulted into first place (or close to) in almost every category - including Best Animated Feature (good job, guys)! It looks like IMDb has now removed the film from inappropriate categories. From the Internet Movie Database's homepage: It seems that Harry Potter fan sites are sending quite a few of their visitors to vote in our annual "Best of" and "Worst of" polls, placing noted thespian Rupert Grint in 2nd place for Best Supporting Actor with Jake Gyllenhaal just ahead of him (hey, we like Ron W. too, but come on!). Ah well, that's what you get when you invite thousands and thousands of people to vote in your Best and Worst Polls, sometimes the best really are the best and sometimes, well... Thanks to everyone who wrote in! |

| 'Goblet of Fire' internationally top film of 2005 |
| Although Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith was America's highest-grossing film of 2005, accumulating $380m (GOF grossed $277m), it fell behind Goblet of Fire by around $67m in international box office sales. The latest installment in the Potter movie series also became the UK's most successful film of 2005. To date, Movie 4 has collected $812m worldwide. |

| Italian HBP fans get novel early |
| Salani, the Italian book publisher, isn't happy--but eager Potter fans definitely were thrilled. Several book stores throughout Rome, Italy, and surrounding areas released the books a few hours early in order to shut down before the holiday. Salani is very upset with this behavior and had this to say: "It's true. There are some people who have betrayed the pact, and so measures will be taken against them," it said, explaining that guilty stores could lose their right to sell Harry Potter books. "We stipulated a written accord with bookshops on the sales ban," it said. "We feel it is our duty to protect the relationship of trust we have with our readers and to defend their rights with regard to promises made, especially where children are concerned," it added. Full story here with a picture of excited fans in one Italian bookstore. |

According to a report released today by Reuters and Nielsen's BookScan, the sixth adventure beat out every other book that was on sale for the entire year. HBP sales totaled 7.02 million copies for the entire year, and sales only started in July. Thanks to Zoe, Alecz, Ellen, and Onishi for the tip! |

| 'Order of the Phoenix' cast |
| We previously only knew of five actors who were confirmed for the fifth movie, but we can now make a few additions to that list after hearing from the actors themselves at the world and domestic premieres of GOF. Confirmed: James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley) Jamie Waylet (Vincent Crabbe) Alfred Enoch (Dean Thomas) Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley) Although he told us at the London premiere he wasn't sure if he would be returning for OOTP, Warner Bros. has now confirmed that Tom Felton will indeed reprise the role of Draco Malfoy in the movie. In negotiations: Tiana Benjamin (Angelina Johnson) Devon Murray (Seamus Finnigan)... "things going well" Warwick Davis (Profesor Flitwick)... "not sure yet" David Bradley (Argus Filch)... "hopeful" Afshan Azad (Padma Patil)... "can't say yet" Not returning: Miranda Richardson (Rita Skeeter) We have no information on whether the rest of the cast will be returning at this point, but we suspect most of them will reprise their roles if offered by Warner Bros. |
