July 2011 marks a special occasion that will be celebrated by many people worldwide, and that is the release of the eighth and final film in the Harry Potter franchise. Many of today’s young kids have grown up watching the Harry Potter movies, and they are understandably excited about the release of this, the last of the movies.
Thought this is movie number 8, this is the first of the films to be filmed in 3D. This promises to add not only a bit of extra excitement, but it will also add to the movie’s expected bottom line. Author JK Rowling has become a billionaire, and possibly the richest woman in Europe. She has also hinted recently that the story of the Wizarding World may not be over. Her next foray is with a website called Pottermore, but it has not yet been rolled out as of the date of this article.
Time will tell if the Harry Potter universe is a self sustaining one. If the writings of J.R.R. Tolkein are any indication, Ms. Rowling’s great-grandchildren may well be making a living off these characters! We can’t wait to see the movie, and we expect it to be every bit as thrilling as the book.
