NEW NEWS HARRY POTTER PLAY TO COME OUT!!!

British theatre casting directors are searching for the next Harry Potter to star in a musical based on the smash-hit books.

Producers are already working on a script for an all-singing, all-dancing show of J.K. Rowling's stories to open at London's West End next year.

Now a search is on for a young boy to take over the role from Daniel Radcliffe who played the wizard Potter on screen as well as a big-name composer to write the music for the show.

A theatre insider says: "The musical has the potential to be huge. You are already off to a head start with the most popular book of recent times.






Everyone loves the characters and the mythical world Rowling has invented.

"The difficulty is condensing the seven books into a manageable show. They are exploring various ideas. One possibility is to tell the whole story. Another is to just take a single plot.

"The plan is for spectacular flying scenes, live Quidditch and big showdowns with Voldermort."

Exciting no? I can't wait to see this play I've heard so many good things about it! I don't know about you but i can't wait!

wow! That sounds kinda... weird :-\ i mean, i can't imagine HP books being a musical. But it does sound really cool! I wanna see it :)

I know it came as a shock to me too. I thought to myself how could they fit the Harry Potter... Goodness into one musical. Plus  it is all like singing and Harry Potter books can get sad and I don't really think they could capture all the emotion of HP in silly little songs!! I mean would you think that.

I think it'll really lose a few harry potter fans. Harry Potter shouldn't be a musical. A play, now that would be great! but the type of character Harry,ron,hermione,draco, and even dumbledore, wouldn't bust out in song. It would be just...just wack.

(No! I just admired your idea and wanted to make my own news site! I thought it would be fun!)
All of the books have been signed by the author JK Rowling and are so valuable that they are being kept in an Aberdeenshire police station.

They will be auctioned off on eBay in aid of local charity Books Abroad which supplies books to children in 80 countries worldwide.

The Potter books are expected to raise at least £20,000.

Rhynie-based Books Abroad has sent an estimated two million free books around the world in 25 years.

'Worthy cause'

A relative of JK Rowling has volunteered for the charity, a fact which is thought to have helped secure the donation of the signed collection.

A Books Abroad spokeswoman told BBC Scotland: "A complete set of special editions was signed by JK Rowling as she felt it was a worthy cause.

"We believe it's the only set available.

"It could be worth £20,000 - or even an awful lot more."

In other news...The tickets for JK Rowling's moonlight reading of the final Harry Potter were snapped up ages ago but fans have a new way to enjoy the event - on the web.
There is going to be a live webstream of the author reading from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at London's Natural History Museum.

The action will be available online from the minute the book comes out - 12.01am on Saturday, July 21.

You can watch in by logging on to www.bloomsbury.com

But you don't have to stay up all night to see the reading because it will be on the site for two weeks after the big day.

The site is also hosting a web chat with JK on 30 July, but kids can start putting in their questions a week before that - again by logging on to the site.
