JK Rowling's Announcement


A viral campaign launched from Rowling. It was the perfect timing to announce the new book of J.K Rowling, when the last movie is coming up in less then 30 days.
We know that, after being one of the richest women of the world, JK Rowling will be getting richer with the fame she got from Harry Potter.

We have just seen the post in the official Harry Potter fan page on Facebook that says JK Rowling will be making an announcement.


We don't know what it this announcement about but we are 99% sure it will be about the new book that Rowling was studying on. My guess is the love story of James-Lily Potter. We will be able to see most of the carachters from Harry Potter series like Dumbledore, Snape even Voldemort.

This is the Youtube page that created for the Rowling's announcement. It is perfectly prepared that I haven't seen any similar of this before. http://www.youtube.com/jkrowlingannounces/

They have a mysterious website at the same time http://www.pottermore.com/

We will wait and see...



Harry Potter - End of the Story





Muggle Quidditch

Most of my friends know how big Harry Potter fan I am.

I saw this awesome video on one of my friends tweet. It is totally amazing.




It is the Quidditch sport invented for Muggles. As we muggles can't fly, game is played with non-magical brooms, without flying. he rules are pretty similar with the game that J.K. Rowling read in the book. I think snitch is the hardest part to invent but they made it great. If I played Muggle Quidditch, I wanted to be a snitch.

After a little research on the web about Muggle Quidditch, I found a Wiki page about it.

Facts about Muggle Quiditch
  • International Quidditch Association is the is the governing body for the sport of Muggle Quidditch
  • It now comprises over 1000 teams and prospective teams from 13+ nations, but primarily the United States, Canada and UK

  • 46 Teams and 757 Players were participated tournament

"When you to to party, you tell people you play Quidditch you get all the girls, right of the bed. Who doesn't wanna be a Quidditch player? It is Quidditch"

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part1

If Can didn't force me to watch the movie I was going to stay at home whole night, spending hours on the computer but thank cousin to took me out to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.



Facts about the movie
  • It was the beginning of everything. So, anyone who didn't read the book, wouldn't like the movie. At least you should be a HP fan to like it. I'm sure the second movie will be way better
  • Noone can tell me that Harry Potter is a child movie anymore. It's one of the darkest movie that I've ever seen
  • We liked the idea of splitting the book into 2 movies. Otherwise even 3 hours movie wouldn't be enough
  • We questioned why Peter Jackson didn't film "Return of the King" in 2 parts
  • I was very emo after finish reading the book. I might even cry after the last movie
  • I realized the last movie that I watched on the cinema was "Alice in Wonderland". I'm getting used to English movies and British accent
  • Unfortunately there is no 3D IMax English version in Turkey. It's even hard to find a original language version in Istanbul
  • I found out cinemas are getting more comfortable in Istanbul. I didn't even feel claustrophobic.

Last comment is about miss Harmione Granger. I mean Emma Watson. When she started to act in Harry Potter movies, she was a 11 years old child. After 6 movies in 9 years she is a 20 years old hot actress and model now. What a big change.

She is nominated for a People's Choice Award in the Favourite Movie Star Under 25 Category. Let's vote for her





Platform 9 - 3/4


Harry Potter is one of the best book series that has ever been published. Beside the books Harry Potter films are the highest grossing film series of all time.
A wizard story Harry Potter made its writer J.K. Rowling the 12th richest woman in the world. If we consider that she started to write Harry Potter in a cafe to not spend electricity, it's one of the biggest success stories in the world.

The Harry Potter series brought a lot of new products inside of its culture. One of them is Platform 9 - 3/4..
As we remember in the first book Harry passed through platform 9 - 3/4 in order to go to Hogwarts with Mrs. Weasley's help. I was always wondering if there is really Platform 9 - 3/4 in any train station.
Wellington Railway Station is hosting Platform 9 - 3/4 as a Dry Cleaner. We can't really go through this platform to get Hogwarts but they can magically clean our clothes.
