J.K. Rowling Shows Up at Premiere of Hugely Anticipated Sequel Film

Harry Potter writer, J.K. Rowling, made an appearance at the recent premiere of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore in London.

After being absent entirely from new footage for the HBO Max Harry Potter reunion special, J.K. Rowling has turned out to support the upcoming release of the eagerly awaited third film in the popular Fantastic Beasts series. This premiere was held at The Royal Festival Hall in London. Rowling co-wrote the script for this new two-hour plus movie in the wildly popular franchise and she also served as a producer of the picture as well. This film is set to unveil itself in theaters domestically on April 15th.

It was previously reported that Johnny Depp will not be in this new picture as its studio, Warner Bros., had asked him to step down from the role due to personal issues of his that were prominent in the media. However, the new picture has a terrific cast which includes Mads Mikkelsen, Katherine Waterston, Jude Law, Ezra Miller, Eddie Redmayne and Dan Fogler, to name a few.

While J.K. Rowling has been controversial due to her beliefs regarding trans women, she nevertheless came out in support of the new film which is poised to be a box-office goldmine when it is released in April. Audiences were tough critics on the last picture in the franchise, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald which earned a mere “B+” CinemaScore. That grade was certainly a come down from the solid “A” that the original 2016 picture, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them earned. The original film made a whopping $580 million internationally with a nice $234 million domestic take. The 2018 sequel earned just $159 million domestically but saved face with $495 million in additional international grosses.

Eddie Redmayne, one of the prominent stars of the upcoming film, is an acclaimed Oscar winner who won his Best Actor trophy for his work in 2014’s The Theory of Everything. Katherine Waterston made a name for herself when she appeared in renowned filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson’s Inherent Vice the same year Redmayne’s Oscar-winning (for Best Actor) movie was released.

J.K. Rowling is not only a writer but is the head of Lumos which is a children’s charity that helps kids worldwide reunite with family. While the Harry Potter reunion special, Return to Hogwarts, earned terrific ratings on HBO Max due to its built in fan base, without Rowling’s help promoting Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, the film could have spiraled downward in box-office grosses when compared to the last picture in the series. I will venture the new film will make at least $200 million domestically coming out right around the Easter holiday when it will most likely dominate the box-office charts.

One in particular he highlights is Margaret Sutherland:“Her family thought she needed psychiatric help because she was a woman who tried to be a composer.” Sutherland’s work will be featured at a March event titled Nature’s Majesty.

In addition to the performances, the MSO also has a series of events designed specifically to allow closer engagement in the community, including open rehearsals. In them, Martin has a microphone and explains to observers what he is doing – why a section is being repeated, or why they are tinkering with a certain part of the music.

Martin, who started in his role with the MSO earlier in 2022, has seen this as a year of exploration. What he loves about the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is that they are flexible, that they are willing to take risks. “Danger in a concert is when you go for it,” he reflects. He encourages the musicians to explore their limits, to play as soft as they can, as loud as they can, to not be reined in by fear of imperfection. “When you do music in front of an audience, there is always risk and danger. We get nervous,” he adds with a laugh. “I think this is what makes the concerts special.

“I don’t think my aim is to have a Melbourne Symphony orchestra sound,” Martin says. “In my ideal world, I think what I would like is that the sound of the orchestra is so flexible that we have a different sound for each composer.”

Why you can trust Pocket-lint

(Pocket-lint) – It’s often assumed that there’s no smoke without fire, so rumours this week that the much-anticipated open-world Harry Potter game, Hogwarts Legacy, was going to be delayed out of its 2022 release window had made some fans anxious.

• Hogwarts Legacy release date, formats and everything you need to know about the Harry Potter RPG

The rumours originate from a discussion on a podcast called Sacred Symbols, in which a journalist claimed to have sources indicating Hogwarts Legacy was going to be delayed into 2023 and has hit some development trouble.

–

While Warner Bros., which will be publishing the game, hasn’t come out and openly responded to the rumour, an update from Harry Potter hub Wizarding World has included it in a list of 2022 highlights, which would seem to re-confirm that it should appear this year.

That said, this isn’t exactly an ironclad promise, and a game is always slated for its planned release date right up until the very minute that a major delay is announced, so it’s far from impossible that Hogwarts Legacy might still miss its window.

The game is an open-world RPG set in the world of Harry Potter but will let players select their own character and make choices that should impact the story they’ll uncover in significant ways, and looks like it could be a world of fun.

Two sisters who were gifted a first edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by JK Rowling are selling it 25 years later for a British record £150,000. The author gave the hardback copy, one of the first 500 to be printed, to her neighbour in Edinburgh to pass on to her two young relatives.

She even inscribed it: ‘To Jenny and Lucy, with best wishes, JK Rowling’ and dated it September 6, 1997. The siblings treasured the rare book, putting it in storage while they bought a lesser copy for them to read. They have had the first edition ever since, keeping it in pristine condition.

In the first printing run, 300 copies were given to libraries and schools and the remaining 200 passed into private hands. They all contain several typing errors including ‘one wand’ being printed twice on a list of items Harry needs for Hogwarts on page 53.

The misprint ‘Wizardry and and witchcraft’ can also be seen on the back cover – a subtle variation of the title for ‘Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry’ which features in the novel.

The book is being sold with London-based auctioneers Bonhams. The current British record for a Harry Potter first edition is £125,000 for a copy sold in Edinburgh in June 2020, while the world record, a staggering £356,000, was achieved in Dallas, US, last December.

Luke Batterham, specialist at Bonhams, said: “Interest in this book just seems to keep growing and what is wonderful about this copy is its really good condition and very early inscription. When JK Rowling signed it the book had not yet become a phenomenon.

“She gave this copy to a near neighbour in Edinburgh and inscribed it to her young relatives. I believe they had a second copy which they read and this one was kept in pristine condition. The relatives were from the Harry Potter generation and are now in their 30s. We are certainly looking at this book potentially breaking the British record.”

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone has sold over 120 million copies to date. The sale takes place on Wednesday.

American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten admitted to sharing fake news Sunday when the union leader published a list of supposedly banned books in Florida.

“Books we have taught for generations!” Weingarten wrote in a quote tweet amplifying the list from an account called “Freesus Patriot,” which refused to reveal its sources. Titles include classics from “To Kill a Mockingbird” and “The Handmaid’s Tale” to the Harry Potter novels. The list of purportedly blacklisted books, however, was entirely made up, with many remaining in K-12 curricula throughout the state.

“My bad,” Weingarten wrote in a follow-up post. “Looks like some of the books weren’t banned.”

Weingarten was reelected to the nation’s second-largest teacher’s union in America last month for an eighth term. Under her tenure, the group partnered with NewsGuard, a popular pro-censorship browser extension to be implemented in classrooms dictating to students what news sources are acceptable. The cooperative, announced in January, was branded in a press release as a campaign to “combat misinformation online.” NewsGuard’s ratings, however, continue to score legacy outlets which sought to dismiss the Hunter Biden laptop story as disinformation with perfect credibility while the New York Post and The Federalist are given dismal grades. The left-wing disinformation group also downgraded Fox News in July with claims the network “fails to adhere to several basic journalistic standards” and “published numerous false and misleading claims, including about politics and COVID-19.”

“NewsGuard is a for-profit organization operating under the guise of an objective public service,” Fox News Media said in a statement upon the updated rating. “Their management and editorial teams rely heavily on left-leaning sourcing to attempt to silence diversity of thought in media. FOX News is proud of the coverage we provide our dedicated viewers, which is why we attract the most politically diverse audience in cable news.”

NewsGuard’s board of advisers includes former CIA Director Michael Hayden, who labeled Republicans the most “dangerous” political force on Earth last week.

In May, a team of researchers at New York University (NYU) studied the effectiveness of the browser extension redirecting users to websites deemed credible by the company’s censors. Investigators found no effect on individuals’ ability to identify misinformation.

NewsGuard did not respond to The Federalist’s request for comment on Monday over Weingarten’s publication of fake news to her more than 100,000 followers on Twitter.

Few took note when the senior Pasmanda leader Ali Anwar thundered in 2007: “Hum shuddar hain shuddar; Bharat ke moolniwasi hain. Baad mein musalman hain (We are Shudras first; the indigenous people of India. We are Muslims later).” Fifteen years later, and nearly a century after the launch of the first Pasmanda movement in India, the concept has finally begun dominating public discourse after Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently directed his party members to focus on weaker sections of Muslims. With the Pasmanda (Persian for backward), constituting some 80 per cent of all Muslims in India, the BJP’s move has a potential to upset Muslim politics.

But it’s not an easy game for Modi’s men. Having breakfast at a Lucknow hotel on a July morning, the chief of BJP’s Minority Morcha in UP, Kunwar Basit Ali, asks for ginger tea twice. The bulky man faces a tough task—how to explain the party’s Pasmanda outreach, when he himself barely grasps the term. “Har koi puch raha hai—are ye kya Pasmanda le aaye? Sidhe sidhe kaho na kasai aur teli ki baat ho rahi hai (Everyone is asking—from where did you bring this Pasmanda? Why don’t you say that you are talking about communities of butchers and oil presses).”

Few Muslims know about the term. Be it the residents of Shaheed Nagar, an urban slum in Lucknow, staff at famous monuments of Bada Imambara and Chota Imambara, or tailor Amir Khan who lives at Gaffar Manzil near Jamia Nagar in Delhi. Is the term fictional then? No. Muslims are classified under several hundred biradaris (hierarchical communities) in India. Such are the hierarchies that some castes like Topchi and Bandukchi are unique to Muslims, without any Hindu equivalent. There are sharp divisions between upper caste Syeds and Sheikhs, and Dalit Muslims like Lalbegis and Doms.

How did the labyrinthine biradaris pervade Indian Muslims who follow a religion that rests on egalitarianism? Pasmanda leader and retired IAS officer Anis Ansari goes deep into history. “Maulana Ziauddin Barni’s 14th-century Arabic text Fatwa-i- Jahandari (Code of Governance) is similar to the Manusmriti. It legitimises castes,” Anis Ansari tells Outlook at his fabulous home in Lucknow.

“Barni wrote that there were three categories of Muslims since azal (beginning)—Ashraf, Ajlaf, and Arzal. The term Pasmanda came into circulation only recently, but this classification has existed among Indian Muslims for 700 years.” The Ashrafs are noble, upper-caste Muslims. Ajlafs indicate lowly, but ritually ‘clean’ occupational communities and converts from low-caste Hindus. Arzals are converted from untouchable Hindus. This discrimination in daily life, as is the case with the Hindus, is often denied by upper caste Muslims, but asserted by their lower castes. “There’s no community like the Pasmanda. There’s undeniably biradarivaad within Muslim society in India, but any attempt to bring caste is completely mischievous,” says Congress leader Yusuf Ahmad Ansari. Such assertions disregard the sentiment Pasmanda Muslims harbour against the Ashrafs. “Those who say that caste system doesn’t exist in Muslims, are either unaware or lying,” says Anis Ansari.

While the Pasmanda movement had taken birth in Bihar in the 1930s, the campaign gained momentum when journalist-turned-politician Ali Anwar formed the All India Pasmanda Muslim Mahaz in 1998. It brought forth a new generation of leaders like Mahaz’s chief general secretary Waqar Hawari and his wife Kahkasha, who live in a modest rented apartment in Lucknow. On a humid afternoon in July, after a little drizzle in the morning left the city perspiring, Kahkasha turns furious narrating stories of discrimination. “The Ashraf women are well-educated but when our women began studying, they were confined to religious education,” she says.

“While Ashraf women wore quality jewels, Maulanas told us that if you don’t give zakat we couldn’t afford, these bracelets will become snakes and bite you in jahannum (hell).” Zakat is an Islamic tax levied on people having a minimum property and is distributed among the needy and poor.

The lower caste Muslims faced discrimination at every instance. “If we don’t have proper sheen or qaf (pronunciation), the Ashrafs laugh at us and say, ‘Tumne ilm to le liya, lekin tahzeeb aane men naslen lagengi (You may have got some education, but it will take generations to become cultured)’,” Kahkasha says.

At a little distance from Kahkasha lives Sadaf Jafar with four Persian cats—Rani, Timur, Gabbu Singh and Bibbo, named after the character Jafar played in A Suitable Boy. The hall of her tastefully decorated home has a tall cat tree with scratching posts. But the cats don’t scratch it. They scratch Sadaf and her two teenage children. “Cat moms,” the small family calls itself.

A teacher and single mother, Congress leader Jafar contested the recent assembly elections from Lucknow. Her daughter Kaunain Fatima has just completed Class XII from La Martiniere. Kaunain loves Harry Potter, but not the “transphobic” J.K. Rowling. The girl, who has published poems in English, is associated with an organisation that fights for LGBTQ rights. If there’s a family that effortlessly demolishes the stereotypes about Muslims, it’s this. And if there’s a home that underlines the social gap between the Ashrafs and the Pasmandas, it’s also this. For Hawari and Kahkasha seem to find a poetic justice in Jafar’s electoral loss.

Enter the BJP

Taking note of the social divide, the BJP is now trying to make it political. Since the upper caste, educated Muslims are the most vocal and articulate opponents of the BJP, it has trained its focus on the Pasmandas. “The BJP has seen that aligning with the Ashrafs doesn’t help. We want to talk only about our representation. We don’t want to raise any emotional or religious issues,” says Hawari.  

The BJP’s project finds its first articulation in Uttar Pradesh where the party inducted several Pasmanda leaders at key positions including Minority Commission chairperson Ashfaq Saifi, Madarsa Board chairperson Iftikhar Ahmed Javed and Urdu Academy chairperson Chaudhary Kaiful Wara—besides Danish Ansari as the Minority Welfare Minister. The representation of the Ashrafs is nearly zero at key posts in the UP government.

There’s also a renewed focus on the Pasmandas in welfare schemes. “UP has 19.33 per cent of Muslims. As many as 39 per cent beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, 22 per cent beneficiaries of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, 37 per cent of Ujjwala Yojna and 30 per cent beneficiaries of Mudra Yojana are Muslims,” the Uttar Pradesh chief minister’s office tells Outlook in a statement.

Basit Ali admits that almost all of them are Pasmandas. “Around 43 lakh homes were constructed under the Awas Yojna in the state in the last five years. Of these, 20 lakh are for the Pasmandas only.”

Several upper caste leaders term it eyewash. “What’s the big deal if you make a Muslim chairperson of the Urdu Academy? If you want to give us representation, make a Muslim home minister. If the Pasmandas take this bait, nothing can help us,” says Jafar. “The whole Pasmanda initiative is a deliberate attempt to further fragment the already fragmented Muslim vote bank,” says Congress leader Yusuf Ahmad Ansari.

The BJP’s scheme is enabled by the discontent the Pasmandas have against the Ashrafs. They have a long list of allegations—the upper caste Muslims caused the Partition, Aligarh Muslim University was designed to exclude them and favour the Ashrafs, major community organisations like the All India Muslim Personal Law Board are dominated by the Ashrafs. Of the total 1,288 faculties at the AMU in 2016, upper caste Muslims occupied 1,138 or 88.35 per cent posts, with OBC Muslims held just 62 or 4.81 per cent of the posts—fewer than the 87 non-Muslim faculties.

And then they point out an infamous incident on December 6, 2007, when some Syeds and Pathans assaulted lower caste Ansaris and Mansuris over the right to pray and drove them out of a mosque in East Champaran district in Bihar. When Pasmandas built a thatched mosque nearby, the upper caste Muslims damaged it.

While the Pasmandas are not aligned with the BJP, unlike the Ashrafs they don’t reject the BJP’s outreach. “The political sphere has some autonomy from the cultural and economic sphere. There’s a cultural project of the RSS. There’s a political project of the BJP, and there’s an economic project of the plutocrats like Adanis. They work together, but they also have some autonomy and there are course corrections as well,” says Khalid Ansari, an associate professor at Azim Premji University.

Hawari, who is as opposed to the hate campaign against Muslims as any other Ashraf leader is, terms Modi’s call a “good move”. “The Ashrafs are worried for the first time. They are facing defeat. The BJP’s move can drastically improve our situation. It will scare the Ashrafs, and they will begin working for us,” he says. But Hawari is also aware that the BJP’s scheme “can create a further divide in the Muslim community”. This, perhaps, is the BJP’s precise hope.

But the party may not easily win the trust of a community it has considered its essential other for decades. Gau rakshaks and trolls don’t differentiate between the Ashrafs and the Pasmandas. “During elections, you talk about 80 versus 20, of abbajan and mamajan. First, treat us with dignity,” says Jafar. Basit Ali understands the crisis. He admits that despite a large number of Muslim beneficiaries of various schemes in UP, almost all of them poor, “only one lakh Pasmandas voted for the BJP in the elections,” he says.

A sustained anti-Muslim campaign has enabled the BJP to consolidate its voters. While Mahaz’s president Ali Anwar acknowledges the BJP’s move, he underlines that Muslims want “samman (respect)” and not “sneh (affection)”, and asks the Prime Minister to check the anti-Muslim campaign being run by his party leaders. If political expediency to bring the Pasmandas to its fold forces the BJP to revise its stand, it may weaken the influential Ashrafs. The bow is primed. The Muslim politics is at a defining moment.

Actor Tom Felton has suggested his lack of Harry Potter knowledge may actually have helped him win the role of Draco Malfoy in the film series. The actor’s IMDB page states that he had not read any Harry Potter books before successfully auditioning for the role of Harry’s rival, Draco Malfoy, back in 1999.

Lauren Laverne asked Tom about it during the One Show on Tuesday. “That couldn’t be true,” replied Tom, with a teasing grimace. The 34-year-old then revealed he was caught out by director Chris Columbus as he tried to blag his way through questions about JK Rowling’s books.

“They lined up all the Dracos I guess, and asked them which part of the book they were most excited about seeing made into film,” Tom told The One Show. “I only realised that when the chap next to me was answering the question, that I did not know what the hell they were talking about. So I sort of repeated what the chap next to me said and Chris Columbus, the director, saw straight through my lie, and that may have helped clinch me the part for Draco. It worked out in my favour!”

Tom was cast as Slytherin boy Draco for all eight Harry Potter films. He was reunited with fellow stars including Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson for Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts, which first aired on New Year’s Day this year to mark the 20th anniversary of the first film was released in cinemas.

He is set to star alongside Doctor Who actress Mandip Gill in a new West End show, 2.22 – A Ghost story at the Criterion Theatre. It opens on Saturday, May 7.
