In honor of the movie version of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which comes out in theaters today, I thought I’d present some of my favorite Potter-related fun stuff from around the Internet.
First up, Scholastic’s Harry Potter Wizard Challenge. It’s a trivia game with questions submitted by readers. Some of them are easy (what color are Harry’s eyes?) while others deal with more of the minutiae (what kind of sandwich does Ron dislike?). You can select questions from any or all of the seven books.
Then, of course, there’s the Potter Puppet Pals, which, really, doesn’t need an introduction because it’s so fantastic, it speaks for itself. My personal favorite? “Mysterious Ticking Noise,” as seen below:
And last, thanks to my friend Meghan at Dancing a la Mode, there’s Harry Potter: The Musical. Written and produced in earlier this year by a bunch of college kids and recent graduates, it was performed through a non-profit student-run theater company and ran for only three nights. Luckily, someone thought to tape it and put it up on YouTube. Brilliant.
Enjoy!
