Watch the first trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald - Pottermore

Mom is sick with a cold, so Panzer made a very quick trip into the Catosphere today. Our traveling kitty stopped in at the Pottermore site. There he found a video trailer for the new J.K. Rowling Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald movie.

How many naps until the movie?

After you watch the trailer scroll down and read all the explanations and descriptions that go with it. According to the trailer and the explanation, the movie is about Dumbledore and Newt against Grindelwald.

Panzer says, "The video is really exciting. This little kitty can't wait to see the movie!"

Note: This is a short video trailer. You probably don't want any tea or muffins because you might make a mess watching the trailer.

J.K. Rowling publishes new story about skin-walkers - cnet

During Panzer's trip in the Catosphere today, our little kitty heard cheering and clapping. Following all the happy noises to the cnet site, he discovered news about J.K. Rowling.

Now, you may remember, our kitty boy is a big fan of Harry Potter. So much so, that last year he managed to get accepted to Hogwarts. Now, any kind of news about Pottermore is big news to him.

According to the post at cnet by Bonnie Burton, Ms. Rowling has started a series of posts called "Magic of North America" at the Pottermore site. She will write one post per day standing yesterday and ending Friday. The cnet post includes a link to Pottermore and the "Magic of North America" series.

I'm out of here. Gotta go read it.

Panzer says, "No time for anything more now. I'm off to the Catosphere to learn what Ms. Rowling's got planned for North America."

Note: You'll need a cup of tea for today's reading. If you plan to read the "Magic of North America" posts too, you'll need a second cup of tea and two muffins.

Harry Potter Fans Create the Severus Snape and The Marauders Movie - Galleycat

Panzer's trip today took him to one of his favorite sites, GalleyCAT. Just one little paw flick brought up a post about Harry Potter.

Whew! I need a nap after all that.

In the post by Maryann Yin, our intrepid kitty boy learned some interesting news about Harry Potter fans. The fan group at Broad Strokes Productions has put together a YouTube video called Severus Snape and The Mauraders. The video deals with Severus Snape and James Potter's time at Hogwarts. This is a well-done production. There are also several links included in the post to other GalleyCAT posts with Harry Potter information.

Panzer says, "I didn't embed the video here because it's almost 26 minutes long."

Note: This is a l-o-n-g video. You'll need a cup of tea, a muffin and a candy bar while you watch it. If you want to follow the links in the post too, bring a thermos of tea, a dozen muffins and a sleeping bag to take a nap in the middle of your watching and reading.
