Dyspraxia
Movie Buzz Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe opened up about being afflicted by a mental disorder characterized by "difficulty planning and completing intended fine motor tasks." He can barely tie his shoelaces! We guess we can excuse him for delaying the release of the new Harry Potter movie.

Invisibility Cloak
Science Buzz Harry Potter's invisibility cloak is closer to being realized than you think. Scientists have developed what they are calling a "metamaterial," a three-dimensional fabric that can reverse the natural direction of light. While still in its early stages of development, researchers say that the material could very well yield the world's first actual (i.e. not in a sci-fi novel) invisibility cloak. Now would be a good time to start recording those "fly on the wall" fantasies.

Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince Trailer
Movie Buzz The trailer for the new Harry Potter movie is out. Continuing the trend, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" (coming in November) looks dark and scary and involves a lot of magic.

Catherine Banner
Culture Buzz This British 17-year-old wrote the first installment of her fantasy trilogy at the age of 14 and is getting comparisons to J.K. Rowling. She was born in 1989. How old does that make you feel?

Harry Potter Prequel
Culture Buzz J.K. Rowling writes an 800-word prequel that will not be published, but auctioned for charity. J.K., you're such a tease! Rabid fans won't get to read or own it. Although at 800 words, I've written fifth grade essays longer than that.

Wizard Rock
Movie Buzz Two documentaries about Harry Potter-inspired pop music, websites, and other fan creations have surfaced in the past month. If you're in the Boston area, you can even catch Harry and the Potters performing the screening for We Are Wizards. If there ever were a BuzzFeed cute band alert, Harry and the Potters would undoubtedly be one of them.

Harry Potter Lexicon
Culture Buzz J.K. Rowling testified in court against a fan who hopes to make a lexicon from the Harry Potter series. Is making an encyclopedia of Harry Potter lore stealing or fair use? A teary Rowling called what Steve Vander Ark has done with "The Harry Potter Lexicon" - currently only a website, but soon to possibly be a book as well - nothing less than "wholesale theft."

Quidditch Leagues
Sports Buzz The official wizarding sport of the United Kingdom might be making a permanent appearance at a local Northeastern liberal arts college near you (Amherst and Vassar already have leagues set up). In NYC, there's a Hell's Kitchen league for adults. We wish there were more sports that existed for nerds. P.E. would have been a lot more pleasant growing up.

Harry Potter Book Disguises
Culture Buzz Print out a fake cover for your new copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It's fine for adults to read children's literature; just maybe you might not want to do it in public.

Harry Potter Leak
Tech Buzz Photos of every page of the new Harry Potter book have turned up online. Someone has taken the time to upload pictures of all 759 pages of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, including the "About the Author" page (!), to a file-sharing site just days before it hits bookstores. Avast, there be spoilers ahead!

Tokyo Premieres
Movie Buzz The new "Harry Potter" movie will debut in Tokyo next month. "Spider-man 3" had its premiere in Tokyo, too - experts predict it may become more common as studios increasingly fret about the international market. Spidey turned out OK at the box office, so good luck, Harry!

Harry Potter Spin-Offs
Culture Buzz In anticipation of the final Harry Potter book, imitation authors are writing spin-offs to speculate an ending. The end is near, and J.K. Rowling has hinted that a main character will be killed off in the final book. But you should at least wait to slit your wrists until after all the movies have come out.

Harry and the Potters
Music Buzz In honor of the 7th Harry Potter book title being revealed today, listen to some Harry-Potter-obsessed indie rock. Harry and the Potters are celebrating Christmas harder than any other novelty punk band around! Some of my favorite tracks include "This Book Is So Awesome" and "Cho Chang, What Have I Done?" God, they're so cute I could die.
