The Hangover Part III Channels Harry Potter in Its First Poster

If the first poster for The Hangover Part III is any indication, come May 24, Las Vegas has a lot more to fear from the Wolfpack.

If the first poster for The Hangover Part III is any indication, come May 24, Las Vegas has a lot more to fear from the Wolfpack. Zach Galifianakis and Ken Jeong are fiercely facing off as Alan and Mr. Chow, and they look a lot like another hero/nemesis duo we know. The likeness to the poster of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is definitely on purpose, right down to the "It All Ends" tagline, and I kind of love it. Get a load of the one-sheet and compare it side by side to its magical counterpart.

Attention Potterheads: Harry Potter is getting a new look, but don't worry, his signature glasses aren't going anywhere.
by

Attention Potterheads: Harry Potter is getting a new look, but don't worry, his signature glasses aren't going anywhere. Scholastic is rereleasing all seven books in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series with fresh cover art by Kazu Kibuishi in honor of the series' 15th birthday. (Yeah, we feel old.) The paperback editions will hit bookshelves in the States this September.

The publisher released the first cover for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone — aka Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone outside the US — and it features Harry and Hagrid walking down Diagon Alley with Harry's owl Hedwig flying nearby. This will be the fourth cover for the American editions of the book, as there was the original followed by the rare "school market edition," and then the "special anniversary edition" for the 10th birthday of the book. There were supposed to be anniversary covers for all the books, but it fell through after the first was released. In the UK, the first edition of the Philosopher's Stone was illustrated by Thomas Taylor, followed by the "signature edition," and then the "adult" version.

These are just a handful of the hundreds of Harry Potter books circulated around the globe — each of which is uniquely beautiful thanks to cover art by talented international artists. We've collected some examples of this cover art and organized it by books in the series, starting with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and finishing with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Check them all out now!

Witchy Wisdom From Harry Potter Heroines and Villainesses

Happy birthday, J.K. Rowling! Even though the British author has concluded her Harry Potter book and film series, she still has a lot to celebrate on her 47th birthday.
by

Happy birthday, J.K. Rowling! Even though the British author has concluded her Harry Potter book and film series, she still has a lot to celebrate on her 47th birthday. J.K. Rowling participated in the Olympics opening ceremony, and her infamous villain Voldemort had a starring role in the production. We're also eagerly awaiting her novel for adults The Casual Vacancy, which is out in September.

With her real-life story of rags to riches, J.K is truly an inspiring role model for girls and women aspiring for greatness. But it's also the characters she's created who have made an impact over the years. J.K. has created strong, smart, and complex ladies for the Harry Potter franchise who have some of the best one-liners. In honor of her birthday — which she shares with her boy wizard character, Harry Potter — let's look back at the other life advice uttered from the good, the bad, and the psycho witches of the Harry Potter books and films (including Molly Weasley's infamous foulmouthed line!).

Geeks We Love: Daniel Radcliffe Sings About Science

Happy birthday, Daniel Radcliffe!
by

Happy birthday, Daniel Radcliffe! Today, Harry Potter himself turns 23. While he may be a Hollywood leading man and a top-earning superstar, we found that Daniel has a bit of an adorable side where his geekdom shines bright.

  1. Math groupie? Yes, he is a huge fan of mathematician/singer/songwriter Tom Lehrer. In fact, Daniel can recite his famous "The Elements" song — an ode to the periodic table — at the drop of a hat.
  2. His famous party trick? Rotating his arms 360 degrees.
  3. Daniel is a bookworm! He delayed the filming of the second and third Harry Potter movies to stay in school and focus on his education.
  4. Poet Potter: The (UK) Guardian reported that Daniel has published poetry under the pen name "Jacob Gershon," a combination of his mother's maiden name and his middle name.
  5. Little jokester: Daniel is a huge fan of pranks. When he was 10, he took costar Robbie Coltrane's cell phone and changed it so all the messages were in Turkish!

Keep reading to watch Daniel sing "The Elements" to Colin Farrell and Rihanna.

Daniel Radcliffe's Harry Potter Paycheck: Guess How Much?

To celebrate Daniel Radcliffe's birthday today, let's take a look at the 23-year-old's life by the numbers.
by


To celebrate Daniel Radcliffe's birthday today, let's take a look at the 23-year-old's life by the numbers. The last two Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows films proved to be a box office behemoth — they brought in about $2.3 billion, and they are the two most lucrative Harry Potter movies. That's more than enough to cover the salary of star Daniel Radcliffe, and he was paid a nice chunk of change for his final portrayal of Harry. Take a stab at guessing how much he made for the role.
