More "Harry Potter"?

JK Rowling released a "Daily Prophet" article set in the Harry Potter universe on her Pottermore website. The short article is supposed to be written by Rita Skeeter, and is set during the Quiditch worldcup in Brazil. Harry, Ron and Hermione are in their 30's, and we also get a glimpse at other characters. The article is great, and it might tease another book based on the Harry Potter characters. If another book is released, than there is no doubt that a movie is going to be made.

I think that another book and movie will happen, and I am really excited for it. I can't wait to see what  story Rowling tells us this time. The Harry Potter franchise is very popular, and it makes total sense that she will want to revisit it. This means that we might see two Harry Potter spinoffs in the near future. The "Fantastic Beasts and where to find them" movie is on the way, and since it is a prequel to "Harry Potter" it would also be a good idea to release a sequel. The universe is extremely rich, and there are a lot of ways that the book and movie could go. They could concentrate on Potter and company and tell the stories of their adult lives, or they could introduce us to a new cast. Personally, I would prefer that they stick to Harry, Ron and Hermione. It would also be a good move for Daniel Radcliff and Rupert Grint. Emma Watson is the more successful out of the trio, so a new Potter movie could be good for the careers of the two less popular actors. If the book is released soon, the movie would still be years away, so it would give a chance for the actors to mature even more, and actually be the age of their roles. It might be tricky if they decide to go with completely new characters and a completely new cast. This might confuse people, and not be as successful. The only question is who would the villain be? Now that Voldemort is defeated, there must be a new menace in this world. I don't think that they should connect it to the old villain at all, and make it something completely fresh. Perhaps create a character like "Grindevald" which Harry and the rest of the Aurors would have to go toe to toe with.
I am really excited for the idea of a continuation of the story, and I can't wait to hear some official news on it. If you haven't already, read the article on pottermore.com

Superman In Gotham

Warner Brothers put out a picture of Henry Cavill in his superman outfit, standing  on a roof top of what appears to be Gotham city. There are a few things that we can say from this still.                        

First of all we see some slight changes in the Man of Steel's outfit. Most of these changes seem to be somewhere in the belt area. The changes are very little, and I think they work perfectly. Second, it looks like Cavill got even bigger than he was in the first movie. Superman looks more experienced and confident here, which makes sense since he already spent some time being "The Man of Tomorrow". He looks threatening and is going to be a real foil for Batman. Thirdly, this is our first glance at Gotham. It looks really dark and gothic, and reminds me of Burton's Batman. I really like the visual style of this city, and it is a good departure from the previous Batman films. The atmosphere looks like "Watchmen" which makes sense, since both movies are directed by Snyder. The picture also tells us that Superman will in fact pay a visit to Gotham City. Judging by the destruction of Metropolis in "Man of Steel" we can assume that Gotham is going to have some damage done to it. Perhaps Bane wasn't Gotham's reckoning, it just might be Superman himself.
Also, we can conclude that with the delays and rewrites that "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" has had in the past year, Snyder and team are finally on track again. In a recent interview, Snyder addressed the topic of Wonderwoman. He said that no scenes with Gadot have been shot yet, and she's busy working out and getting big. This is good news, because Gadot does not have Wonderwoman's body, and she is going to have to work hard to get it. Overall, I'm really excited about this image, and I can't wait till 2016 to watch the movie.
