Harry Potter fans: San Francisco ice rink hosting ‘Wizarding World Wednesdays’

Do you rep for the House of Ravenclaw? More of a Slytherin supporter? Or are you all in for Hufflepuff or Gryffindor?

The Broadway producers who are bringing the show “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” back to San Francisco in 2022 are kicking off the Pottermania early with “Wizarding World Wednesdays” at the Safeway Holiday Ice Rink in Union Square.

Each week, fans can show up in their Hogwarts house colors, lace up their skates, take a spin around the ice and enter for a chance to win special “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” prizes, including opening night tickets for the official Feb. 9 premiere at the Curran Theater.

A different Hogwarts house will be featured at 5:30 and 7 p.m. sessions each Wednesday. On Dec. 15 it will be Ravenclaw, followed by Slytherin on Dec. 22 and Gryffindor on Dec. 29. (Alas, Hufflepuff fans are skating as we write this on Dec. 8.)

Ice rink tickets, which include skate rental, are $19. They must be purchased in advance online at  unionsquareicerink.com.

Previews of the new all-in-one-show “Harry Potter” will begin on Jan. 11, a month before the premiere. Tickets, https://sf.harrypottertheplay.com.

Woman has the world’s largest ‘Harry Potter’ memorabilia collection

Tracey Nicol-Lewis has the largest collection of “Harry Potter” memorabilia in the world. 

Nicol-Lewis, 47, from Mid Glamorgan, a county in Wales, U.K., was recognized by Guinness World Records in October for having both the largest “Harry Potter” collection and the largest collection of Wizarding World memorabilia. 

According to SWNS, Nicol-Lewis has 6,300 items related to “Harry Potter” or the other franchises within J.K. Rowling’s fictional world. 

LE CREUSET LAUNCHES ‘Harry Potter’ COOKWARE COLLECTION

Those items – which include a collection of 47 wands, special edition books, LEGO sets, artwork and at least 127 action figures – take up three rooms in her house, SWNS reported. 

Her largest item, according to the news agency, is a five-foot-tall cardboard book display for “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.”

Nicol-Lewis first watched “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” in 2002 and quickly bought her first collectible, a chocolate frog, SWNS reported. 

By 2006, her collection had grown to 100 items.

Nicol-Lewis told SWNS that the world of “Harry Potter” helped her cope with the death of her first husband, Simon, who died in 2005. Before his death, he pre-ordered “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” for Nicol-Lewis and it arrived weeks after he died. 

Nicol-Lewis said it was the last gift she got from him. 

“That’s why I think the collection got so mad,” she said.

Aside from collecting “Harry Potter” memorabilia, Nicol-Lewis also enjoys “Harry Potter” cosplay and was even married to her second husband, Martin, in a “Harry Potter” themed wedding last year, according to SWNS. 

Her dress was red and gold – the “Harry Potter” Gryffindor house colors – and was decorated with Deathly Hallows symbols, SWNS reported. Her shoes were painted with Dobby the elf, one of the characters from the franchise. 

THESE RETRO TOYS HIDING IN YOUR ATTIC MAY BE WORTH MONEY

Though Martin isn’t a “Harry Potter” fan like Nicol-Lewis, he suggested she try for a Guinness World Record for her collection. In April, when they submitted the collection, Nicol-Lewis had 5,284 items. Since then, she’s acquired at least 1,000 more, SWNS reported.

“I still can’t believe that I have much in my collection,” Nicol-Lewis said. “When it’s all around your room and you see it every day, it’s only when someone comes in and sees it and they’re like ‘oh that’s a lot!’”

However, she said she didn’t think her collection was big enough to get a world record. When she received the honor, she said she was “over the moon.”

Nicol-Lewis told SWNS that she hasn’t had her collection valued, but she thinks she spends about $132 (£100) on new memorabilia.

“I think ‘oh that’s it I won’t get anymore,’ and I go to the shop and something always falls in my basket,” she said. 

Nicol-Lewis said that looking at and rearranging her collection is her “happy place.”

“Everything…in my collection is just amazing, I love it,” she said. “They have memories attached to them as well because I can remember the bits from the films or the books.”

The First Bob’s Burgers Movie Trailer Is True To Itself

It’s taken more than four full years since it was initially announced, but we finally have our first look at The Bob’s Burgers Movie and I very much suspect fans of the long-running Fox animated series will be satisfied with this first trailer. Nothing’s changed but the aspect ratio.

If you’re wondering why Bob is slinging burgers in front of the Wonder Wharf amusement park instead of inside his restaurant, might I direct you to the official synopsis for the film?

“The Bob’s Burgers Movie is an animated, big-screen, musical comedy-mystery-adventure based on the long-running Emmy-winning series. The story begins when a ruptured water main creates an enormous sinkhole right in front of Bob’s Burgers, blocking the entrance indefinitely and ruining the Belchers’ plans for a successful summer. While Bob and Linda struggle to keep the business afloat, the kids try to solve a mystery that could save their family’s restaurant. As the dangers mount, these underdogs help each other find hope and fight to get back behind the counter, where they belong.”

Sounds like Bob’s Burgers business as usual, give or take a UFO and a robot. But would you like to know something kind of wild? This is Disney’s first 2D animated movie to be released theatrically in America since it made Winnie the Pooh in 2011—and Bob’s only has this distinction because Disney bought 20th Century Fox in 2020.

Bob’s Burgers: The Movie features the voice talents of Kristen Schaal, H. Jon Benjamin, John Roberts, Dan Mintz, Eugene Mirman, Larry Murphy, Zach Galifianakis, Kevin Kline, and David Wain. You may note the absence of comedian Jay Johnston, who voiced Jimmy Pesto Sr. in the TV series before it was discovered he participated in the January 6, 2021 insurrection. As far as I know, a new voice actor has not been announced, and Jimmy hasn’t shown up yet in the current season of the show. The character also isn’t in this trailer, but it’s hard to imagine such a major supporting character not playing a role in the film, especially since work on the movie began years ago and Johnston was only dropped from the series last December. We’ll see! Er, hear!

Chris Pratt’s Mario movie accent is ‘phenomenal’, producer claims

The co-producer of the Super Mario movie has confirmed that Chris Pratt won’t be replicating Mario’s thick Italian accent.

After being approached by a reporter for toofab at LAX airport, Illumination co-founder and CEO Chris Meledandri was asked how Chris Pratt was going to pull off Mario’s voice.

“All I can tell you is the voice that he’s doing for us and Mario is phenomenal,” Meledandri replied. “I can’t wait for people to hear it.”

Meledandri was then asked why an Italian wasn’t cast for the role (despite the fact that Mario’s usual voice actor Charles Martinet himself isn’t Italian), to which he replied: “Well, as an Italian-American myself I understand the comments. Charlie Day, who’s playing Luigi actually, comes from an Italian heritage. So that’s our nod.”

As for how much Pratt is going to lean into Martinet’s thick Italian accent, Meledandri stated that Pratt wouldn’t be adopting the same accent, but that the reason for this would be addressed in the film.

“We cover it in the movie,” he explained. “So you’ll see that we definitely nod to that, but that’s not the tenor of the performance throughout the film.”

Nintendo revealed during a Nintendo Direct presentation in September that The Lego Movie and Jurassic World star Pratt would be playing Mario in the upcoming CGI Super Mario movie, which is being co-produced by Meledandri and Shigeru Miyamoto.

In addition to Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy (Queen’s Gambit) has been cast as Princess Peach, Charlie Day (Horrible Bosses) as Luigi and Jack Black as Bowser. Seth Rogen will also play Donkey Kong in the movie.

“Mario and Luigi are two of the most beloved heroes in all of popular culture, and we are honoured to have the unique opportunity to work closely with Shigeru Miyamoto and the widely imaginative team at Nintendo to bring these characters to life in an animated movie unlike any film Illumination has made to date,” Meledandri said following the cast announcement.

Miyamoto added: “We are collaborating with Chris and his experienced team to not just create a character licensed film, but a new piece of entertainment which brings Super Mario Bros. to life on the screen, and allows everyone to enjoy whether or not they know about the game.

“The production so far is constructive and going very well, and both parties are learning a lot from each other. We humbly ask that fans wait just a little longer for the premiere, and we hope they look forward to seeing the unique characters from Super Mario Bros. on the big screen.”

Meledandri was nominated as a new outside director of Nintendo in May 2021. Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa also recently indicated that Nintendo is exploring the possibility of creating more animation content featuring its other game series.

Christmas movie production snowballs to reach new record

This year, its countdown started even earlier, on 22 October, and includes a record 42 original holiday films.

Commentary: Harry Potter got a generation of kids reading. No other story can do that today

SINGAPORE: “Yer a wizard, Harry.”

No more iconic words of initiation have been spoken. They introduced readers to a vast world of magic, seen through the eyes of a then 11-year-old boy.

Those words were also the launch pad of seven novels, eight films, a play, and numerous spin-offs, video games and theme parks.

As the first Harry Potter film turns 20 this year, millennials will fondly reminisce about our journey through the years with The Boy Who Lived.

Whenever a new book arrived, we burrowed into it, excitedly discussed its events, and speculated what will happen next. The film adaptations sated our appetites while we waited.

Once a new book was announced, we badgered our parents to pre-order it. On the day it hit shelves, we waited in line with bated breaths.

Looking back at the analogue way we did all this, it’s interesting to think: If JK Rowling wrote and published the novels today, would they have had the same success as they did two decades ago? What about the films?

COMPELLING STORY, CHARACTERS AND SETTING

Harry Potter remains an incredibly lucrative multimedia franchise. It has raked in US$25 billion through book sales, box office earnings and more, beating out other fantasy series like The Lord Of The Rings or A Song Of Ice And Fire (including TV series Game Of Thrones).

Not many contemporary novels – let alone one targeted at children and young adults – have become a worldwide phenomenon like Harry Potter.

The wizarding world of Harry Potter is getting its magic back.

In the first official trailer for the retrospective special Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts, the beloved franchise’s star players Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint reunite for a journey through life-changing memories. The special premieres on HBO Max on Jan. 1 when the clock strikes midnight.

“The thing that scared me the most was the implication that the most meaningful thing was done,” Radcliffe recalls in the trailer. “And there’s something so joyous about seeing everyone, and be like, ‘It wasn’t though.’”

For the first time since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 brought the film series to a close in 2011, Return to Hogwarts reassembles not only the Gryffindor trio of Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, and Hermione Granger, but also makes room for the full cast of characters that carried the films forward. In the trailer, Helena Bonham Carter whips out a set of old prop teeth to really feel the memory and the stage is set for additional appearances from Robbie Coltrane, Ralph Fiennes, Jason Isaacs, Gary Oldman, Tom Felton, and more.

The collection of actors recalls the early days of filming and the lasting impact of the eight-film series in the years since its conclusion. During a close sit-down in the trailer, Grint tells Watson: “It’s a very heartwarming thing ‘cause I’ve watched you grow up and I’ve seen kind of every stage of your life.”

She sums up the feeling simply: “When things get really dark and times are really hard, there’s something about Harry Potter that makes life richer.”

Also returning for the special filmmakers Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuarón, Mike Newell, and David Yates as well as producer David Heyman, among others.

“There’s magic in the air here with this incredible cast, as they all return home to the original sets of Hogwarts, where they began 20 years ago,” executive producer Casey Patterson said in a statement. “The excitement is palpable as they prepare to take their fans on a very special and personal journey, through the making of these incredible films.”
