Dan at England versus India test match

I got a little shock while watching yesterday's test match between India and England. I saw Daniel Radcliffe, watching cricket! Although he was there for a short time, approx. 2 hours.
Dan is a big fan of cricket and he has just started learning about Cricket few months back.
It is noticable that in England, people really are not so mad about Cricket as we are in India. English are more interested about Football and other sports.

There is a thing called "Hallows" which is greater than a horcrux and has power to kill anyone.
Harry drops the idea for finding horcrux.
Hogwarts re-opens.
50 persons or more die in this novel, notably Lupin, Tonks.

Deathly Hallows in stores on Saturday morning.

Phoenix starts in India with a bang

Order of the Phoenix, released yesterday in cinemas got very positive response from the Indian audience. The so-called competetors for OOTP were Naqaab, a boring thriller, My Friend Ganesha, aimed at small audience, boring, Bombay to Goa, comedy film without very good comedy and Apne, good one but not good enough, "phew".

Most of the theatres were full with crowds. were full with crowds. There are 250 prints released throughtout the country (25, 25 in Tamil and Telegu, 85 in Hindi and remaining in english).

DH NEWS: Lots of fans are dieying to get Deathly Hallows. However, watching OOTP will give you are short relief from the tension. DH is out in bookstore on July 21st.

Order of the Phoenix in theatres near you

Ok Folks, that's the day. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is now in Indian Theatres.
However, only few people can enjoy IMAX-3-D, those who live in big cities.
I have seen it already, it was very good film, although some tit-bits very missing from the movie.

Harry and Cho's....

Kiss. Yes. I have seen OOTP's early screening (as I was in NY yesterday). I liked the movie, althought pretty much was cut.
For those who are worried about Harry and Cho's Kiss, let me tell you that, that kiss was short, shorter than I imagined and in terms of publicity, this kiss is really around 13-14 seconds.
I laughed what Cho said at the kissing scene. Well I won't spoil it for you, but this clip is out in YouTube, if you want it search for it.
OOTP is in Indian theatres tomorrow.

OOTP in Tamil and Telegu also, Indian Premiere

As Business Standard reports, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will be going to released in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu too. It is expected that OOTP will atleast earn 4 crores (around 1 million US$) in India.

Yesterday, a Indian Premiere (without any star cast) was held here in Mumbai at PVR Cinema.
Main Attendents were Soha Ali Khan, Mandira Bedi and Gaurav Chopra.
Dan's so-called look-alike, Dhaval Dave was also there.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in cinemas July 13th.

Namaste, says Emma

Yeah that's right. Pogo's Music Dance Arts programme's host, Rob has conducted a fresh new interview with the cast trio. They all told Rob about their characters, the movie and most specially, their views about India. This interesting interview will be going to air on 14th July at 7:00 PM IST on Pogo TV. This interview was conducted on June 27th at London (Press Junket). Most funny this is that Dan, Emma and Rup said few lines in Hindi, lol.

Today, a sneak peak at OOTP was aired. Although it contained most of the old clips, but we see it in India's point of view. If you have given the right answers, than you can have complete star treatment, starting with a make-over by a Bollywood stylist, staying at a five star hotel, arriving to the grand premiere in a luxurious car and will also get a chance to watch the premiere with POGO’s favorite host, Rob! To participate in this contest, viewers need to send SMS ‘HP’ followed by the option (A/B/C/D) to 8558.

On a very very important note, if you have this video than please send at bunty0@gmail.com .
THANKS a lot, Pogo. We love this channel.
