Boy, Can That Owl Act!

Young British actor Daniel Radcliffe made big news when he was chosen to star in the movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Now meet Daniel's co-star Ook, whooo plays Harry's trusty owl Hedwig. The filmmakers are keeping most details about the movie top secret until it arrives in theaters next November. In the meantime, Potter maniacs can look forward to two new books by J.K. Rowling. Quidditch Through the Ages, Harry's favorite book, and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them hit stores in March. Sales from these little books go to a kids' charity. Rowling hopes to raise around $33 million.
