Harry Potter's Rupert Grint says he's 'heartbroken' in moving tribute to Robbie Coltrane

Villagers have paid tribute to legendary Scots actor and Killearn resident Robbie Coltrane after he died last week aged 72.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic “Harry Potter” has had many imitators, but none so blatant or irredeemably over-the-top as Netflix franchise starter “The School for Good and Evil,” an extravagant YA costume show from “Bridesmaids” director Paul Feig that follows two friends to an elite academy where the heroes and villains of future fairy tales are trained. The whole idea derives from a book series by Soman Chainani, though it’s obvious where it really comes from: the imagination of J.K. Rowling, who must be positively livid watching what looks like the most expensive episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” ever produced. Feig goes full camp here, casting Kerry Washington and Charlize Theron to play the decked-out divas who oversee the enchanted institution’s two sides. The former embodies Professor Dovey, a prissy headmistress in Tweety Bird-yellow threads, who’s always going on about the rules, while Theron’s evil-minded Lady Lesso takes her fashion cues from Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS. Joined by Laurence Fishburne (as the Morpheus-like School Master), Michelle Yeoh (largely wasted as some kind of beauty instructor) and Cate Blanchett (in voice only, as the film’s self-aware narrator), these stars have been given carte blanche to chew the scenery.

"Harry Potter" star Tom Felton is spilling the details on his co-star Daniel Radcliffe’s celebrity crush.  In Felton’s new memoir, "Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard," he shared that Radcliffe used a photo of Cameron Diaz to help guide him on where to look while filming the flying broomstick scenes.  "The approach was that if a piece of magic or any kind of special effect could be achieved practically, that was the best way to do it," Felton explained, according to excerpts shared by Insider.   "This was especially true in the early days when the visual effects team had less-advanced technology at their disposal." Felton portrayed Draco Malfoy in "Harry Potter" – Radcliffe’s nemesis in the mega-hit franchise.

The feelings are mutual between Emma Watson and Tom Felton as they disclose more information about their enchanting yet difficult-to-describe connection. While their romantic relationship is about as real as the magical wizardry in the movie series that catapulted them to fame, "Harry Potter," there is, as Felton describes, "something unspoken" between the two co-stars.

Ten points for Slytherin! Tom Felton’s debut memoir, Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard, dives deep into every aspect of the actor’s personal and professional life, from his relationships with the main Harry Potter cast — Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint — to his own personal battles, including substance abuse issues and several run-ins with the law while filming the franchise.
