JK Rowling Wins Court Photo Appeal in England
In the midst of JK Rowling’s US-based court trial, her court case in England (over a published photo of her son David taken in 2004) has gone in her favor. The BBC reports:
The agency photo - taken in November 2004 - showed Ms Rowling pushing David in a buggy on a street in Edinburgh.
The picture was published in the Sunday Express and the newspaper later settled the claim.
Judge Sir Anthony Clarke said: “If a child of parents who are not in the public eye could reasonably expect not to have photographs of him published in the media, so too should the child of a famous parent.
“In our opinion, it is at least arguable that a child of ‘ordinary’ parents could reasonably expect that the press would not target him and publish photographs of him.”

BBC captures aerial view of Leavesden Studios
In lieu of Half-Blood Prince trailer news, BBC is feeding our craving by providing some interesting video shots of Leavesden Studios via helicopter. Leavesden has been used to film most interior and exterior Potter scenes since the beginning of the franchise.
The aerial shots provide a glimpse at several outdoor sets, including Privet Drive, Hagrid’s Hut, the Hogwarts Express - Hogwarts station, an entrance to Hogwarts, and one end of a Quidditch pitch.
Additionally, there are several sets that cannot be identified from recognition in past Potter films. Possibilities include the Gaunt’s House (CBBC’s guess), a part of The Orphanage, and The Burrow.

Natalia Tena Talks About Her Role in Half-Blood Prince
Trish from SnitchSeeker.com was at Collectormania 13 in England and spoke with Natalia Tena, who plays Tonks in Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince. Tena revealed that she has completed filming for HBP:
The only scene Natalia has filmed for the movie, isn’t actually in the book at all. She was only on set for the part where Death Eaters attack the Burrow at Christmas (where Harry & the Weasleys are present). She said that none of the angst of her character is there - indeed, she and Lupin are just suddenly a couple when they meet there.
