No Essex for Harry Potter!

One of the girls queuing up for the Luna Lovegood audition, April Waterman, says that she was told by the production crew that she would not be allowed to audition because she was from Essex. However Vanessa Davies from Harry Potter Productions told “The Daily Mirror” that she “may have overheard someone who was not part of the production say it. I don't know where this has come from, not from anybody in our organisation”.

Will the real Taichi Yamada please stand up?

Taichi Yamada is the author of “In Search of a Distant Voice” and the spooky “Strangers”. However, we at Authortrek are puzzled by a spooky mystery surrounding the author, as some websites portray him as a young man, and others as an older man. Both younger and older Taichi Yamadas wrote a novel called “Strangers” and are said to have worked as scriptwriters for the Shockiku film studios. “Taichi Yamada” seems to be a popular Japanese name, so we think 2 Taichi Yamadas may have been mixed up. Or Maybe they are father and son?

J. K. Rowling accused of being a Scrooge by Charity

According to HindustanTimes.com, J.K. Rowling has been accused of being a "Scrooge" by fundraisers at the Easterleigh Animal Sanctuary for turning down their request for a signed edition of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" for a charity auction. However, it must be said that J. K. Rowling is well-known for her charitable endeavors, so labeling her as a "Scrooge" is extremely unfair. J. K. Rowling, like anybody else, has every right to pick and choose which charities she contributes to.
