THE SNIDGET - May 2019 - Magical World News Bulletin - Fantastic Beasts 3 - Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure - Quidditch Through the Ages Illustrated

MAGICAL WORLD NEWS BULLETIN
MAY 2019 EDITION

THE SNIDGET is a periodical bulletin from the magical world.
There will be plenty of news about Hogwarts and the wizarding world, and other fantastical places. It will be dropped off in the library by Owl Post every second Saturday of the month.




It was announced on Pottermore, almost two weeks ago, that the third FANTASTIC BEASTS film will not be released until November 12, 2021. This translates into more than a two and a half year wait for fans of the Newt Scamander based storyline.
However, fans should not be clutching their wands to their chests in despair; there are plenty of exciting Potterverse happenings occurring between now and then! THE LEAKY CAULDRON.ORG has an in-depth article about these HP events you can READ HERE.


The newest ride at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park, in Orlando Florida, is HAGRID'S MAGICAL CREATURES MOTORBIKE ADVENTURE "story coaster". It opens to the public on June 13th.

The never before seen in a movie "secret creature" Tom talks about has recently been identified as a blast-ended skrewt...

An image of one of the new Vans Harry Potter designs was leaked: HERE. I'm not impressed by the leaked design. They look like cheap Walmart shoes. Let's hope the other designs are better. If you want email notifications for updates on this Harry Potter line you can sign up: HERE.

I'm still not impressed. What do you think?



I have watched a lot of Warner Brothers Studio Tour videos and this one is by far my favorite. It's well edited, Peter doesn't talk much during it, and there is a nice music bed.





Peter was able to obtain Giles Greenfield's, one of a kind, Harry Potter art sketchbook for his personal collection, directly from the artist himself. I am happy he was given the opportunity to purchase this book because he appreciates and cherishes his collection beyond it's monetary value. He became a bit teary-eyed unboxing this treasure. I also love that he is going to share the contents of it, in detail, with us at a later date!


The QUIDDITCH THROUGH THE AGES Illustrated Edition will be released in October 2020 and will be illustrated by Emily Gravett. I am curious about what the illustrations will look like because she is a children's picture book illustrator.
The book is penned by wizard Kennilworthy Whisp, and chronicles the history of the Wizarding World’s famous broom riding sport. It was originally released in 2001 along with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. J.K. Rowling wrote the original paperback booklets to benefit the anti-poverty charity Comic Relief.



GERMAN 20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITIONS
Aren't these stunning?! You know I want to buy a boxed set. Ha!


Is SNOWPIERCER a post-apocalyptic sequel to WILLY WONKA?!

This film fanatic found even more connections.



Have a magical month, my friends!
