Louis Peitzman · 09/25/12 06:38PMThe New Yorker's 9,000 Word Profile of J. K. Rowling Will Not Make You Want to Hang Out with J. K. Rowling
Caity Weaver · 09/24/12 05:30PMHave you ever thought it might be cool to hang out with J. K. Rowling? Because the Harry Potter books shaped your childhood, or your children's childhood, or your parents' childhood (future babies), or because you love hanging out with millionaires, or because you have a fetish for older, soft-spoken white women with a touch of sadness about the eyes?

Neetzan Zimmerman · 05/11/12 01:03PMFile Under 'Duh': The Avengers Is the Second Biggest Friday Opening of All Time
Louis Peitzman · 05/05/12 03:37PMFor weeks, I've been reminding you all that The Avengers is on the horizon — it doesn't take a box office psychic to realize a film of this magnitude will do well. And wouldn't you know, The Avengers' Friday take was $80.5 million, making it the second biggest Friday opening of all time. (Number one remains Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, because wizards are cooler than superheroes, clearly.)

Jim Newell · 09/22/11 03:45PMCan't say we've ever heard a comparison between Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and English wizard Harry Potter before. But it kind of makes sense, doesn't it? No, not really. But we thank old Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch for making it anyway!
Pottermore Beta Encourages Wand-Play With Minors
Remy Stern · 08/20/11 11:55AMThe beta version of Pottermore, the much-discussed multimedia-moneymaker-somethingorother announced by J.K. Rowling in July, has gone live for a few thousand obsessive fans. How obsessive? To qualify as beta testers of Pottermore, they had to find seven different clues on seven different websites on seven different days. At the Sony website, they were asked how many owls appear on a particular shop sign in Diagon Alley, and told to multiply that number by seven. At the Guardian website, they were told to multiply a particular Quidditch game's score by 35. (Wizarding is mathy business.)

Hamilton Nolan · 07/21/11 08:17AMLike an intemperate child placed in "time out," tabloid sex perv and professional journalist Andrea Peyser has resorted to "acting out" in order to grab our attention, now that we've stopped covering her every last cock-imbued utterance in order to write about topics more useful to society, like brawls in fast food restaurants.
Emma Watson Meets Her Gay Porn Doppleganger
Max Read · 07/19/11 10:25PMWhen etiquette guides of the future answer the question What do you do when you meet the gay porn star playing you?, they will probably include this photograph of Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies, alongside Cameron Adams, who plays, yes, "Himmione Gainghim" in Whorrey Potter and the Sorcerer's Balls.
