Warner Brothers’ official Harry Potter website has issued a warning to fans to beware of scam emails that are currently in circulation. These emails inform the recipients that they have been selected to take part in the casting process for the movie of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”, and implies that J. K. Rowling is in charge of the casting sessions herself. Eagle-eyed readers will have spotted that the next Harry Potter movie to be made will be “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”. The spelling in the emails suggests an American origin, and the emails tantalise the readers further by saying filming will take place in London, Spain and Greece. The hoax email even suggests that the casting session may inspire J. K. Rowling to create new characters! The email then goes on to ask for personal details. Warner Brothers say: “This is to advise that Warner Brothers Entertainment Inc. does not engage in casting activity through e-mail. These e-mails are fraudulent, and you should not respond to any such e-mail. Feel free to forward any such messages to anti-piracy@warnerbros.com, and we will do our best to investigate the fraudulent activity.”
