Harry Potter Countdown Clocks
Count down to the release of the final book and fifth film on your Web page, blog, MySpace, Windows Desktop, and more
Now that the release date of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is upon us, and the entire Potter fandom counts down to two very special weeks that will see a pivotal film and era-ending novel, we have time pieces for any or both these occasions, for your Web page, blog or MySpace. Desktop and widget versions of all will be available shortly.
These countdowns, one for book, one for movie, one for both at once, feature news feeds as well as countdown clocks. The film-only one allows you to change the time according to your time zone, a feature that will be added to the book-only and movie-and-book version as soon as possible (and will be updated as more release dates for future countries of the book are announced.)
Scroll down to see your options and choose! Enjoy!
3-D Deathly Hallows Countdown and Trivia Game
Easily the most fun way to count down to the final Harry Potter book! Have fun playing with the super-spinny 3-D DH (it’s addicting), and when you’re ready, click it for a trivia question. Every day (and potentially more often than that), the question will change. Use the following code to put it on your Web site, MySpace, blog, etc! This was designed by John Noe and programmed by Ashley Keene; our lovely Praxagora provided the trivia.
