Straight from MTV:
"Twilight's" Ashley Greene, "Gossip Girl's" Sebastian Stan and now "Harry Potter's" Tom Felton have all signed on to star in the supernatural thriller, "The Apparition."

Based on true events, "The Apparition" tells the story of a couple haunted by a supernatural presence unleashed during a college experiment. Beyond that - and fact filming has begun on the movie - little is known about its premise.

That looks like a neat lineup of stars. Let's hope the movie is good as well.

MTV has the drop on park price, expansion plans, and an amusing tidbit on the proposed parking lot name.

According to officials, "Wizarding World is basically just one of the Islands in Islands of Adventure, not its own theme park. Because of that, it means no extra ticket to gain admittance.."

So that's good news. For you planning a trip, you can keep current on the prices here.

Warner Brothers is expected to announce this week that it will release the two-part movie adaptation of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in 3D.

The Money Times reports:

The last movie of the franchise "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" will cost the company approximately $5 million to covert from 2-D to 3-D.

Hollywood Reporter's 'Heat Vision' Blog wrote, "Early 3D-conversion tests on Warners' remake of 'Clash of the Titans' have gone so well that -- combined with boosted enthusiasm for 3D in the wake of the 'Avatar' tsunami -- the Burbank studio has decided to release not only 'Titans' but also the two-part 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' in 3D."

More news on this when it occurs.

Emma Watson has unveiled her new fashion collection with Fairtrade brand People Tree.

The Harry Potter actress - who's currently filming the final two movies in the blockbuster franchise, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows - took on a creative advisor role, working closely with People Tree's design team and CEO Safia Minney to design a capsule lifestyle collection for teenagers, titled Love From Emma.

"I wanted to help People Tree produce a younger range because I was excited by the idea of using fashion as a tool to alleviate poverty and knew it was something I could help make a difference with - it has been the most incredible gap year project," she said.

Love From Emma, featuring the use of organic and Fairtrade certified cotton, is available now.

The Daily Telegraph is doing a giveaway in celebration here, and you can see the collection here.

FabSugar has shots, and it is covered extensively in The Telegraph. The Daily Mail also has a few shots.
