In the picture, it can be seen that Harry stands up from his seat to greet Ginny Weasley when she comes to join the party.

Apart from giving out the photo, the fansite has also included a translated Recreio Magazine's interview with Harry Potter's depicter, Daniel Radcliffe, about the relationship between Harry and Ginny. "Harry dates Ginny," Radcliffe explained when asked about scenes with Harry's new girlfriend. "There is a really funny scene about this."

He then continued, "In the beginning, Ginny dates Dean Thomas, and Ron says: 'You have to hate anyone who goes out with their sister as a matter of principle'. Harry, ashamed, says: 'Yeah, I suppose so...'. He gets a little embarrassed. It's even more complicated than dating Cho.

Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn,

Gambon Expecting Second Lovechild

24 October 2008 12:05 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Actor Sir Michael Gambon is expecting a second child with his mistress - at the age of 68.

The Harry Potter star married his wife, Lady Anne, when he was 22 and the pair has a 44-year-old son, Fergus.

But Gambon also acquired a mistress and in 2002 he moved out of his marital home in Kent, England.

The pair welcomed a son, Michael, in May last year - and they are now expecting another baby.

A friend of the star tells Britain's The Sun. "Michael and Philippa are delighted that she's pregnant again, but he is very worried about what his wife thinks of all this.

"He says it will cause him a lot of hassle if it comes out, but his private arrangements are so complicated he can't really expect a smooth ride. He continues to see his wife and mistress, but is very secretive about both relationships. He may be getting on, but Michael is still a wizard with the ladies."

But Gambon's age was reportedly one of the reasons the couple decided to have another child.

The source adds, "Philippa wanted a brother or sister for little Michael because when he gets into his teens, it's possible Sir Michael might not be around. Philippa felt it important her son had a sibling. She's also in her forties, so this could be the last chance for more kids.

"Sir Michael's happy, but he's got a few more frown lines since telling his wife. She knows everything and seems to be taking it in her stride."

Movie Review: The Insider (1999)

12 October 2008 1:58 PM, PDT | From Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news

Jeffrey Wigand (Russell Crowe) finds a message in his mailbox

Photo: Touchstone Pictures It's strange to think The Insider was released just shy of ten years ago and was based on a 12-year-old "Vanity Fair" article and yet the tobacco industry seems just as strong as it has always been. Sure, smoking in bars and other public situations has been barred in a lot of places, but that hasn't stopped people from firing up a death stick. The absence of Joe Camel billboards doesn't stop me from seeing cigarettes everywhere. As The Insider gives us a mildly exaggerated look at just how far the tobacco industry will actually go to keep a lid on their secrets and to realize it is still legal for them to operate and sell their cancer is astounding. Billed heavily on Al Pacino's shoulders, The Insider is probably best remembered as Russell Crowe's break out role (this or L.

Ralph Fiennes Addresses Voldemort's Issues in 'Harry Potter'

9 October 2008 11:32 PM, PDT | From Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news

Having portrayed the villainous Lord Voldemort in two previous "Harry Potter" movies, Ralph Fiennes opened up about what he thinks of the pivotal character in the "Harry Potter" franchise. Talking to Variety, the 45-year-old confessed that he initially hesitated about the role, "I hesitated for a bit before committing to the role because it sort of requires you to personify evil, and I don't know how you do that."

The actor who has been seen as Voldemort in both "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" further analyzed the character as a rejected person, envying Harry for being loved. "I latched onto what was maybe crude psychology in working out Voldemort's obsession with Harry. Harry was loved by his parents, which Voldemort can't stand," he explained.

"He is, of course, a rejected person. It's quite basic: the rejected child who's emotionally been denied affection turns violent.

Gambon's Royal Joke On Depp

2 October 2008 5:42 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Sir Michael Gambon once tricked Johnny Depp into thinking he was friends with British monarch Queen Elizabeth II - telling the actor he regularly went to her home for a cup of tea.

The pair was working together on 1999 movie Sleepy Hollow in the grounds of a stately home near Windsor, England, when the Queen and Harry Herbert, the 17th Earl of Pembroke - who is also a film director - rode past on horses.

And Depp assumed that because Gambon knew the Earl, he must know the Royal as well.

Gambon recalls, "Harry shouts, 'Hello Mike' and I replied 'Hello Harry, how are you, mate?' and 'Hello ma'am' and the Queen nods to me.

"Afterwards Depp asked: 'Was that the Queen?' (I replied) 'Of course it was the Queen.' Mouth open, Depp replied: 'You know the Queen?'

"'Yeah, she's one of my best friends,' I ribbed him, 'I'm always nipping into her house for a cup of tea.'"

What I Watched: From 'The Phantom of the Opera' to 'Gosford Park'

22 September 2008 12:59 AM, PDT | From Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news

The idea for this article came out of how many films I have been watching lately in an effort to up my film IQ. I am not watching these films to be any kind of film historian, but to just have an overall knowledge of movies. It is also a nice way to make up for how many bad films I have to watch. I will still continue to do my Cinematic Revival editorials as well as hopefully bring you more of these recap pieces. My larger goal is to begin writing full reviews for all of these films when I don't write up the longer Cinematic Revival essays to improve on my writing as well as bolster my list of written reviews. That said, here is a look at what I watched at home last week and if you have any films to recommend that you watched recently (it

19 September 2008 8:28 PM, PDT | From Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news

But we decided that while we loved
