Harry Potter Page to Screen: Revised and Expanded now has more pages devoted to the legacy of the Harry Potter films. In addition to the complete history of all eight Harry Potter films, the book now explores the theme parks in Florida, California and Japan, the sets and props in Leavesden, England and the House of MinaLima, founded by the graphic designers on all of the films, and located in London. With 1200 photographs, sketches, and diagrams, the book provides unbridled access to every aspect of the film-making process. It tells the stories behind each individual film and covers the design and technology behind all the astounding effects. This book pays homage to how one film became eight, how a few months became a decade, and how one author’s fantasy became the project of many individuals’ lifetimes-told by the people who were there, the people who made the magic real.
This book is the Bible for everything Potter and will stand as the most complete and final visual history of the Harry Potter movie story ever to be published. Book is now on Pre-Order for its November 13 release.

Two scientists have launched a campaign to get a copy of a book that debunks accepted scientific “facts” about women into every state school in the UK.
The physicist Jess Wade, best known as “chief troublemaker at Imperial College London”, and Claire Murray, a chemist and beamline scientist at a UKsynchrotron, are raising funds to buy copies of Inferior: How Science Got Women Wrong and the New Science That’s Rewriting the Story by Angela Saini. The actor Daniel Radcliffe has described it as one of his favourite books.
The actor Daniel Radcliffe, a childhood friend of Wade, is planning to release a video in support of the crowdfunding campaign this week. He describes Inferior as “a truly mind-blowing book”, which has made him completely reevaluate his understanding of the world.“As many people as possible should have access to this book, and I am certain Jessie – who has always been the smartest person I know – is going to make that happen,” he says.

Stories For Boys Who Dare To Be Different is a collection of over 100 stories of some famous and not-so-famous men who changed the world without slaying a single dragon or rescuing a single princess.
Among them is the story of Daniel Radcliffe, the British actor who rose to fame when he was cast as Harry Potter in the hugely anticipated film adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s best-selling series.
At school, Daniel never really felt he was good at anything. He had a problem called dyspraxia, which made even little things, like writing or tying his laces, more difficult for him than for other people. He didn’t have much confidence in himself.
Despite that, Daniel always knew he wanted to act. But it was almost an accident when he went to audition to play Harry Potter, the boy wizard who millions of readers everywhere had fallen in love with. Daniel had wanted to give up acting completely when he was eleven. It was only because they couldn’t find the right boy anywhere, that the director went and persuaded him to audition.
As soon as he walked into the room, everyone working on the film agreed: this boy must play Harry Potter.
I have two more book reviews this week for Sleight and Whisper. Sleight is on Wednesday and Whisper on Friday. Both will have giveaways so be sure to look out for my posts. Also on other book news Miracle Workers Tie In Edition has been scheduled for October 2. I’ll post the cover of that once we get it.
So thanks to Rockstar Book Tours they gave us a chance to review Yossi Ghinsberg’s Jungle. Well I wanted to expand on that so we are gonna do some more book reviews by Authors who submitted their novel’s for me to review which I got in early January. David Wilson’s Villian and Criminal and Christos Papazachariou’s His World. We also got another in April which is called Sleight by Jennifer Sommersby. There will be more coming very soon.
This book has been released this year. I don’t think I ever posted this. But I’ve seen it around so here it is finally posted.
RNS: You talk with tons of celebrities in this book, like Daniel Radcliffe and George H.W. Bush. What was your favorite conversation?
Jacobs: I loved the interview with Daniel Radcliffe. First of all, he is an example of a child actor who turned out OK! So right there, that’s a lovely testament to his character. But also it’s so interesting just hearing the sacrifices that all of our ancestors made. His grandmother married a South African man who was just terrible, and he tried to have her committed to an asylum. She had to escape in the middle of the night with her child, Daniel’s mother.

The book written by Thomas Sailer, Austrian author and well known member of the Harry Potter fan community, is available for free on http://coahpf.org/ With his book, Thomas wants to exemplify how precious and valuable fandom can be. He wants to get the message spread and for that reason insisted on a free version of CoaHPF.
From 2005 to 2011, Thomas was a very active member of the international Harry Potter fan community. To mention some of his major achievements, he was the ‘Representative of EmmaWatsonEmpire,’ founded ‘The Knight Bus’ – a Harry Potter link directory – and later the ‘DA’ – an international website alliance for Harry Potter fan communities.
CoaHPF got first published in 2012, as a German print book. Now that the contract with his former publisher ran out, Thomas provides CoaHPF for free.

My dear friend Thomas Sailer just informed me that his ebook for Chronicles of a Harry Potter Fan is reaching its second edition which will be available in English and Free for everyone to read. Its release date is set sometime in September 2016. We will post when exactly that is released.
Creative Partners Publishing House announced earlier this month that it had rebooted author Randy Jernigan’s fan book series and will now be including four biographical sketches into one book and will be adding music super-star Taylor Swift to the first addition. The new title of the fan book series is Stars That Make A Difference. Celebrity sketches will include Daniel Radcliffe, Ellen Degeneres, Marie Osmond and Taylor Swift.
“I had my issues with this idea when my publishing partners and legal team first approached me about it, but after listening to their reasoning I began to see the value in it,” Jernigan said at the time. The book series has attracted a large amount of tabloid press referring to the book as a “tell-all” and sensationalizing his words in interviews regarding actor Daniel Radcliffe and television talk show host Ellen Degeneres, which the author and publishing house has repeatedly denied on Jernigan’s social media sites. “A friend once described his dealing with these tabloids by saying, ‘it’s like punching jello—it’s totally futile and you just want to give up’ and I totally agree.”
“There is nothing gossipy or sensational about this book series but is a serious look at the lives and careers of four celebrities that have made a positive impact in the lives of their fans,” said Jernigan. “We’re being very careful in our final edits not to include anything that could be interpreted as salacious or sensational so as not to give the tabloid press an opportunity to strike again. These false media reports can be mean spirited and do damage to reputations. They take your words and reconfigure them into something you never said and this is not what this book series is about.”
According to Jernigan, the changes will prolong the release date to a mid to late Fall publication date. To insure accuracy each biographical sketch will be vetted by the celebrity’s legal or management team and in some cases the celebrity themselves.
Stars That Make A Difference will be available through Creative Partners Fan Books as well as Amazon and Kindle.
Creative Partners Publishing author Randy Jernigan has taken to his Facebook page responding to several sensationalized press reports regarding his upcoming book, “The Life and Career of Daniel Radcliffe.” The first installment in a series of “fan books” being published by the company.
“Please know that this book, “The Life and Career of Daniel Radcliffe” is not a tell-all, sensationalistic styled book as some media has reported. This work has been very well researched and my sources used when gathering the information are very solid. It is an honest and forthright look at a great actor and individual. Please understand that I I have the utmost respect for Dan as an actor, as a humanitarian, and as a person. This book is one that his fans will appreciate, I’m sure.” Randy Jernigan 5/27/14
