Jamie Campbell Bower Lands Harry Potter Role

The French Harry Potter site, L’ Univers de Harry Potter , spoke to Jamie’s manager at the Cannes Film Festival. Jamie’s manager confirmed what had long been rumored on Harry Potter sites, that Jamie Campbell Bower would be playing the role of Grindelwald in  Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows film.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is currently filming on the UK seacoast. The next installment, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was originally slated to open last November, but Warner Brothers changed their date to July (in fact they recently changed it to open two days earlier than announced) which opened up the opportunity for Twilight to run unchallenged in the teen market this past fall.

Congratulations to Jamie!

Jamie Campbell Bower Music Video

Jamie Campbell Bower linked to a music video of the Darling Buds’ Cities Alive on his Twitter account. The Darling Buds is the band Jamie is in. You can check out the band’s official MySpace here.

Twilight Cast Round Up

Michael Sheen and Jamie Campbell Bower have been Tweeting about their arrival in Canada. No exact date was given, so clearly they have some healthy respect for the paparazzi.

Mike Welch is now officially done shooting. According to his website:

“Mike had a blast filming on the set of New Moon. He will complete his shoot just in time to return for his appearance at Creation Entertainment’s GRAND SLAM with a Salute to TWILIGHT ON SUNDAY May 3.”

Ashley Greene hosted a launch party at Kitson Melrose for LA designer Joseph Agi for his Spring/Summer 2009 Collection. Kellan Lutz and Marlow (her new puppy) were also there.

So, because there still seems to be so much confusion on who has a Twitter and who doesn’t, we thought we’d give you a run down:

The only public Twitter accounts that we can confirm as real are as follows:

Jamie Campbell Bower

Michael Sheen Michael just put up a series of photos (like 12 of them, one featured at the left) check them out.

There are a ton of fake, Kristen Stewart, Rob Pattinson, and Stephenie Meyer accounts. Be skeptical of supposed real accounts, here’s a couple easy ways tell when they are real or fake:

  • Photos are only of official PR shots
  • Tweets happen while actual filming is taking place. 2/3 of the supposed Rob and Kristen accounts send tweets when they are actually on set.
  • If a star has a real account that they have not disclosed to the public, their Tweets are most likely locked because it would be a PR nightmare otherwise. The likelihood of them friending someone they have never met to see private tweets is slim to none.
  • Check the stars official websites and interviews, and see if they mention their official twitters, MySpaces, Facebooks.
  • Check what accounts they are following. chances are they are not just following the accounts of fellow castmates, they do have other friends.

The phenomena isn’t limited to Twilight stars. Aparently someone has just faked a Kaleb Nation account too.  Kaleb just did a great story on how over 26,000 people have been fooled into friending a fake Stephenie Meyer account when clearly right on Stephenie’s own website she lists her only avenues of connecting with the public: MySpace, Twight Saga website (official run by her publisher), and StephenieMeyer.com.

Here is the correct Kaleb Nation account, and here is the correct Twilight Lexicon account.

Jamie Campbell Bower Rocks the House

Jamie Campbell Bower has his own band, and last night it played in Camden in the UK. In fact Jamie was Tweeting about it all week up through his sound check!

Here’s a report from a fan who was at the show.

TY to Team Solomon for the heads up

Jamie Campbell Bower Tweeting Away

Unlike other Twilight Saga stars, Jamie Campbell Bower has a Twitter that he uses for fans, and he has been Tweeting an awful lot today.

So, if you want to catch Jamie and is band, they have an upcoming gig at the Bullet Bar in Camden. Check out the MySpace for the band The Darling Buds for details.

Apparently according to his latest Tweet, he’s in a bit of a bind…literally.

Follow Jamie on Twitter here.

Also the Cullen Boys Blog has been following Michael Sheen who also has a Twitter.

Jamie Campbell Bower Wigs Out

We give a real tip of the hat to the following bloggers who scooped out this one. It was really a joint effort with different people putting together the pieces. Looks like Jamie enjoys the wig and the contact lenses just as much as the rest of the cast does. He’s been twittering about the experience.

UK Twilight News

It seems that UK actor, Jamie Campbell Bower, is going to be pretty busy in franchise movies. In fact he’s definitely taking a turn for darker characters after having recently played the hero in Sweeney Todd. It seems that Jamie, according to The Daily Mail, is in negotiations to play the part of Grindlewald in the final two Harry Potter movies. As any Harry Potter fan knows, next to Voldemort, Grindlewald was the most terrifying wizard out there.

Also on tap for UK fans this week is the midnight release of the DVD! the Forbidden Planet store in London sounds like it’s the place to be featuring:

“You can take the forbidden romance of Bella and Edward home early when you come down to the London Megastore to pick up your copy of TWILIGHT on DVD or Blu-Ray. Plus we’ve got goodies and give-aways – and loads of gorgeously dark merchandise just waiting for you to treat yourself… or that forbidden lover of your own! EXCLUSIVE! First 30 purchasers of the Special Edition will receive a DVD sleeve signed by one or more of the cast.

See the Twilight UK site for details.

In case you don’t really want an autograph, but want a bite (no we are not making this up) you can get your DVD bitten over a HMV. We’re a little unclear if it’s an electronic molding of Robert Pattinson’s teeth, or not. If interested talk to the people at HMV.
