So here’s the second half of my adventures in Potterland, in which Harry, Ron and Hermione (aka Dan Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint) faced the press for their fourth time around – a scary thought, considering the first time they jumped on the promotional treadmill they were about 10 years old. As much as … Continue reading
It’s fitting that on the week before Halloween I’m running a contest for the Korean horror film Spider Forest. Because there’s nothing scarier than running a CHUD contest, of course.
