 Today marks the 20th birthday of Rupert Grint, the actor who plays Ron Weasley in the Potter films. Hope its a good one Rupert!

 J.K. Rowling has updated her site to wish Percy Weasley a happy birthday for August 22nd.

The behind the scenes photo we showed you in a German entertainment magazine the other day is now available in high-res right here, courtesy of Warner Brothers.

Additionally, WB has informed us that the teaser trailer now reflects the new July date. You can see the trailer on the official Harry Potter website.

Ah yes, it's been a while since we've seen wise old Albus Dumbledore wearing some half-moon spectacles in the films. What a treat it is to see a pretty cool behind the scenes photo of Michael Gambon and the crew within the Great Hall, where it looks like Dumbledore is about to make a speech. It also looks like there's a green cover on his hands for the visual effects.

The scans come from the German magazine Cinema, and you can see the scans here and here. The rest of the article has images we've seen before. Thanks to Harry Potter Experts for the tip!

The British Board of Film Classification's website has been updated with information concerning a second Half-Blood Prince teaser trailer. Coming in at 91 seconds long (the first teaser trailer was 96 seconds), it has a PG rating and was just approved yesterday.

Our favorite Harry Potter star Dan Radcliffe revealed to New York Daily News that he has dyspraxia, a condition that can cause problems with coordination. He says that he often has problems tying his shoelaces due to this disorder.
