Thanks to Martin for pointing us to a user report on Slashdot about WB’s nonuse of a copy protection scheme on the DVD in the States. And Melissa’s going to clear that up about Tom Felton’s age as soon as she gets online. Yes, he’s 14 – 15 before the movie even comes out. (Note …read more!

The caption read: “In Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry’s imposing Great Hall, Harry Potter challenges nemesis Draco Malfoy …read more!

FINALLY: The “Chamber of Secrets” teaser trailer has arrived! Enjoy. Note: It’s a TEASER alright. If you read it closely, it’s a 30-second teaser of the full trailer allegedly being launched “exclusively” with Scooby Doo.
