When I first read “profiteroles”, I thought it was a typo!! I had to check Wikipedia for that one. LOL.
It must be a thrill to work with Jim Broadbent. The young HP actors are very fortunate to work with so many of Britain’s best!

I’d like dan and Rupert give fans some tips about their scene in their website! I’m really eager to see the HBP film. November is sooooo long to come!

I absolutely love Emma Watson site. I’m cheking it few times a day, and leaky cauldron ofcourse. This site is the best site about Harry Potter.Great job! I’m looking forward to HBP, it’s gonna be better than the last one. I hope for trailer,poster and pics soon!!!


im soooooo excited to see this movie, the 6th is one of my fav. books!!!!!!!!! i hope its better them the 4th and 5th. the 5th was ok but, idk i didnt like it as much. and the 4th was just disappointing, skipping over the ENTIRE barty crouch thing…....ugh that still makes me angry.
anyhooo like i said im super excited and im very glad that emma keeps us updated
Cheers*<3>

umm for whatever reason they (leaky) changed my “computer heart” and made it <3> so sorry

Aha, the mystery word “profiterole” means CREAM PUFF.

If you reed this and don’t love Me (Luna), your mad!

I hope they keep the incident with Severus Snape is in the party scene also. I would love to see Slughorn teasing Snape about his potion making skills- compared to Lily’s!

How funny! I’ve been eating profiteroles for dessert for yers (at restaurants, I don’t cook) and I never even made the connection that they were basically the same as cream puffs. Probably because the profteroles I have had usually had some ice cream (as well cream) inside so I thought that was the difference! Ha!
Glad that they are keeping in the party scene. I want to see the brigh yellow eyebrow and Luna’s offer to dye hers the same color so they can match.


Lilibeth, your version of profiteroles sounds HEAVENLY!
I’ve only been to London once. But while I was there, I had a scone with Devonshire clotted cream. I’ll never forget it. it was TO DIE FOR!!!

Nice timing, I have just finished watching my DVD of “Ballet Shoes” which arrived today. I loved the TV production so much I couldn’t wait to see it again on DVD.

Oh, this is GREAT! If they are keeping the Slughorn party in, it means that there’s a chance that we’ll see Luna in her amazing dress! And – OMG – Snape and Draco’s conversation??? This is almost too good to be true =))))))))

When I read this it was almost like reading an excerpt from Hermione’s own journal!
Im watching Ballet Shoes right now on that TVCatchup thing you had to join to watch the JKR documentry – It is incredibly useful.
I must say I absolutly love Ballet Shoes. I was watching it when half way through it had to buffer again and I actually was like “Nooooo!”
I think I may read the book now too!

Mmmm, profiteroles! They’re keeping the party scene in – how cool is that?! I hope it’s as awesomesauce as the scene in the book was. It will be great regardless, though!

I think Emma must be quite a hard-worker to say the least – didn’t she get all A and A* grades for her GCSEs? Plus making the films of course and all the associated publicity she is required to do. Good luck to her if she manages to get out a bit too.

Yes -Emma’s GCSE results were staggerinlgy good and she must be seriously bright ! She is now doing her A levels and would be having the first of her module exams in the next few days Why do I know -because one of my children attends CLC and has them as well as indeed do other A level students throughout the country.
Good luck to her and to them all.

I AM JUST WAITING FOR THE MOVIE THE COME UP!!!!
