an open letter...

dear producers and casting directors of harry potter and the half-blood prince,

i saw that you're holding a casting call for the role of lavender brown (aka, ron weasley's first girlfriend). however, i noticed that there is a request that the girls be between the ages of 15-18. may i remind you of a little thing called "discrimination"? i don't know how it works in the UK, but here in the states, we frown upon that crap. and may i remind you that it's called acting? i mean, some of america's biggest tv shows have had 30 and 40 year olds playing teenagers (90210 ring a bell?). i'm not even 27 yet, so i can most definitely look like an 18 year old.

also, i realize there aren't many (if any) hispanic brits that exist, but why not start with the role of lavender brown. would it help if i got jk rowling to sign off on it?

what do i have to do here to get my big break? oh also, if you could fly me out to london so that i can attend said casting call at the earls court exhibition center, that would be most helpful. and accomodations at the ritz-carlton would be nice.

cheers,
i heart jim halpert

now even muggles can visit hogwarts...in 2009

breaking news! according to the bbc, jk rowling has given the okay to make every young (and old) harry potter fan's dream come true. she has signed off on the building of a harry potter theme park!
according to the video (which you can see here), construction will start in a few weeks and will be located at universal studios theme park in florida. there will be a hogwarts castle and quidditch!
is there a fandango for theme park tickets so i can reserve my spot 2 years in advance?

holy hogwarts! new harry potter and the order of the phoenix trailer!

for whatever reason, the geen execs over at warner bros decided to spend money advertising on the survivor: fiji finale last night, which is beyond me since 10 year olds don't watch that junk. and neither do i. but i do paruse different websites, which is how i was lucky enough to find this new :30 second spot. and no, before you ask, i wasn't on emma-watson.net. so without further adieu, enjoy this new harry potter trailer. I. CAN'T. WAIT.
