Harry Potter, the Opera?

Superstar tenor Luciano Pavarotti is such a huge fan of Harry Potter, he wants to turn the wizard adventures into a kid's opera. The Italian singer and his 33-year-old partner Nicoletta - the mother of his baby daughter - are hooked on JK Rowling's fantasy series, and Pavarotti confesses he'd love to take the bespectacled boy wizard to the stage.

Coming: Mudbloods and Centaurs?

The titles of the final two Harry Potter books may no longer be a secret after two new trade marks were registered with the UK Patent Office. Harry Potter And The Mudblood Revolt and Harry Potter And The Quest Of The Centaur are reported to have been registered by a company called Seabottom Productions six weeks ago.

The key word here is, of course, may: Potter fans pointed out that other titles had been registered over the years - such as Harry Potter And The Pyramids Of Furmat - which have never seen the light of day.

UPDATE: The official title has been released, and it's Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. You can preorder it from Amazon now.

Harry Potter in College?

"The Science of Harry Potter," is a three-credit honors seminar new this fall at Frostburg State University.

Could antigravity research produce a flying broomstick? Can Fluffy, the three-headed dog, be explained by genetic engineering?

Those are some of the questions physics professor George R. Plitnik is exploring with 15 students, mostly juniors and seniors. He says the class is not all fun and games, despite his penchant for dressing up as Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
