Neil Ward of the Harry

Neil Ward of the Harry Potter for Grownups Yahoogroup reports: This weekend the Sunday Times Magazine (UK) is running a Harry Potter Special Issue, which will, The Times proclaims, “becomes a collectors’ item”. The blurb boasts exclusive photographs from the film’s sets, interviews with Hermione, Hagrid and Harry (I think they mean with the actors in those roles) and “the first glimpse of Hogwarts school for wizards in a specially-commissioned painting”. An ad for the magazine shows the cover, featuring a head-and-torso Dan Radcliffe in full Hogwarts’ uniform, looking serious, with Hedwig flying in from top left. Dan looks suitably scruffy, but rather older and thinner than he seems in the film (so the photograph must be fairly recent). He also looks very tired and appears to be wearing lipstick, but that’s probably just a trick of the light. Hedwig looks evil. For non-Brits, it looks like there will be something on the website from midnight on Saturday, UK time. Some details are on the Times’ website.
