The first of the final two Harry Potter movies — Deathly Hallows — Part 1 — is scheduled to be released on November 19, but the stars finished shooting both films earlier this summer. Daniel Radcliffe, 21,  Emma Watson, 20, and Rupert Grint, 21, have been playing Harry, Hermione, and Ron for more than decade, literally for half of their lives. When EW sat down with each of them last year at Leavesden Studios outside London as they entered the final stretch of filming, it was clear that they each were struggling with mixed emotions: happy that they had made the journey and ambitious to make these final films they best they could be, but eager, also, to start the rest of their lives.

“I’m ready to kind of move on now, I think,” Grint said between takes. “This film is a great way to finish the whole era, and it’s going to be sad, because obviously all my friends are here, but 10 years is enough.” The three of them were shooting a scene in the Room of Requirement in which Harry, Ron, and Hermione are searching for a horcrux — in this case, the tiara-like Ravenclaw diadem. Watson and Grint were both sopping wet. (In the film, Ron and Hermione have recently destroyed another horcrux in water and were pursued by a Voldemort-shaped tsunami.) Grint and Watson were kept soaked by crew members, who sprayed the pair down every few minutes. It was not making Watson happy. “It’s been this way for weeks,” she said, shivering next to a space heater. “I hate to sound whiny, but it’s horrible. It’s miserable being wet all the time.” She shrugged and added flatly: “But, you know, I was told it will look very dramatic when you see the films, so it will be worth it.”

Radcliffe, meanwhile, seemed to be in a tug-of-war with himself about finishing his run as Harry Potter. “This film has been hard to make, and I’ve had some of the most trying moments, both physically and mentally, than ever before,” he said. “I wasn’t entirely thrilled with my performance in Half-Blood [Prince] — I found it quite same-y, and didn’t think there was enough variation in it — so I’ve worked hard to make sure that if the seventh film comes out and I’m still unhappy with it, I’ll know it won’t be from lack of trying.”

Castle exclusive-Beckett's new boYfriend..

Image Credit: Jeffrey Mayer/WireImage.com; Inset: Bob D'Amico/ABCastle has found a new plaything for its queen.

Victor Webster—the genetically-blessed alum ofMelrose Place 2.0, Charmed, and Mutant X—is joining the ABC hit as Beckett’s (Stana Katic) new love interest. 

Webster’s character, Josh Davidson, first appears in this season’s fourth episode when he drops by the precinct to visit Beckett. Unlike Bec’s last two boyfriends, played by Bailey Chase and Michael Trucco, Webster’s Josh is not in law enforcement—a fact that’s not lost on Castle.

“There’s an element of mystery to him,” explains exec producer Andrew Marlowe. “He’s more of a motorcycle guy…A person that is going to intrigue Castle, because he’s going to see a different side of Beckett.”

Webster will appear on a recurring basis throughout the season.

In other Castle news, Marlowe confirms that the show’s youngest star, Molly Quinn, is also getting a love interest in the form of Secret Life of the American Teenager‘s Ken Baumann.

“This is her first serious boyfriend,” notes Marlowe. “This is the first time Castle has had to deal with his daughter being in a relationship.”

Castle‘s third season premieres Sept. 20.

David Beckam forced into retirement!!!!!

The curtain has been brought down on the international career of David Beckham. Ahead of the Three Lions' friendly with Hungary at Wembley on Wednesday night, Fabio Capello informed the English viewing public that the former captain was now 'a little bit old' to represent the team. It marked a subdued end for the injured Los Angeles Galaxy superstar, who had always been one to conduct his business in the limelight. From his debut against Moldova in 1996 until his heart-breaking injury just before the 2010 World Cup, Beckham had been synonymous with the England team and his presence, not to mention his global appeal, will be fondly remembered and sadly missed.

"I've always said I won't retire from playing for my country," Beckham said in Los Angeles on Wednesday, 14 years after winning the first of his 115 caps.

"If I never get picked again or whether I get picked again for one more game or 10 more games I'll be available."

Here, r d details of some of the most memorable David Beckham moments, good n bad,,,from a decade and a half in an England shirt.!!

26 June 1998 Silencing the doubters

The 23-year-old had been criticised by then-manager Glenn Hoddle for not being fully concentrated on the task at hand at the World Cup in France and had been duly left on the bench for England's opening fixtures against Tunisia and Romania. They needed a result against Colombia on matchday three after defeat to the Romanians and, following Darren Anderton's opening goal, Beckham made the result safe with a stunning free-kick, his first goal for the national side. He curled the ball past Faryd Mondragon in characteristic fashion to prompt relieft and elation among the travelling hoardes. 


30 June 1998 It All Comes Crashing Down




The tournament was not to remain rosy for Beckham and England though. Only days later in the second round match against Argentina, the inexperienced Beckham saw red for a petulant retaliatory kick on Diego Simeone after the combative midfielder goaded his opponent. The match finished level and the English were despatched on penalty kicks. At home, Beckham was made the scapegoat and his face appeared on makeshift dart boards in national newspapers, while an effigy of the number seven was hung from a lamppost. He had sunk low in his fans' estimations. 


12 June 2000 The rehabilitation begins






Around the turn of the century England's supporters were notorious on their travels, often leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. And the damage was not limited to the town squares around Europe. A hateful, bile-filled campaign against one of their own players, Beckham, reached its nadir the night England squandered a 2-0 lead and lost 3-2 to Portugal in a disappointing Euro 2000 campaign. The microphones were close enough to hear disgusting chants of 'I hope your kid dies of cancer' directed at Beckham after the match, now the father of a one-year-old son. A visibly angry Beckham reacted by flicking his middle finger towards the offending parties. His manager, Kevin Keegan, backed the player's actions in the wake of the game and it signalled a thawing of the cold stance of the media towards him, who urged fans to 'lay off' after overstepping the line. The rehabilitation was under way. 


15 November 2000 Called on for captaincy




Peter Taylor was handed interim duties in charge of the England team in 2000 and his most significant act of a one-game tenure was to hand David Beckham the captaincy for a friendly against Italy. A remarkable two-year turnaround in the eyes of the press and supporters had been completed. Beckham restored. Although England would be defeated by a Gennaro Gattuso goal, it marked the beginning of a long and distinguished reign for Beckham with the armband festooned on his bicep. He led England out on 59 occasions, before surrendering the honour emotionally following the 2006 World Cup. 


6 October 2001 Cometh the hour...






Beckham was chosen by Taylor as skipper because he was a player who led by example and put in tireless shifts every time he took to the field. Indeed, later in his career, he was to earn the sobriquet 'Forrest Gump' in light of his workrate at Real Madrid. Never was Beckham's ethic more apparent than in England's final World Cup qualifier against Greece at Old Trafford. An indifferent campaign, which included a 5-1 drubbing of Germany in Munich and defeat to the same Germans at Wembley, had left England in need of a result against the Greeks. A truly awful team performance was raised from mediocrity only by Beckham, participating in arguably his magnum opus for the Three Lions. He assisted Teddy Sheringham's equaliser but was powerless to prevent his side from slipping 2-1 behind. However, cometh the hour, cometh the man. In the last minute of injury time, with Sven Goran Eriksson's team bound for the play-offs, Beckham stood purposefully over a free-kick 30 yards from goal. He placed an inch-perfect dead ball over the wall and beyond the goalkeeper to spark pandemonium at his home ground. It was true Roy of the Rovers stuff and a match in which Beckham etched his name into England folklore forever.

7 June 2002 Exorcising the ghosts of 1998




Having secured England's qualification at the death, Beckham travelled to the tournament in the far-east suffering the effects of injury, a curse that was to blight his participation at major tournaments throughout his international career. In April, Aldo Duscher of Deportivo La Coruna ensured that all English football fans became acquainted with the term 'metatarsal' when his wild challenge fractured that bone in the England captain's foot. He was barely 60 per cent fit for the opening game against Sweden but there was no stopping him, pain or not, for the second match of the group stage against Argentina. Beckham converted the winning goal, a penalty kick late in the first half, to exorcise all the demons from four years previous. England's win comdemned the Argentines to an early exit from the tournament but Brazil would end their chances at the quarter-final stage. 


13 June-24 June 2004 Spot Luck






You live by the spot, you die by the spot. Although his steely nerve had seen England past Argentina in 2002, it was Beckham's lack of penalty kick cool that ultimately did for England in Portugal. He had the chance to augment his side's 1-0 lead against France on matchday one but saw his effort batted away by Fabian Barthez. Zinedine Zidane would make his Real Madrid team-mate pay the heaviest price with two late goals to seal a French win. Thus, England were drawn to face the hosts in the quarter-finals. A knife-edge tie went all the way to penalties after a 2-2 draw. A soft penalty spot was blamed for Beckham missing England's opening effort in the shoot-out, which was decided by goalkeeper Ricardo's winning strike. England were out again.


25 June 2006 The three-peat






Beckham's career has been punctuated by a series of 'firsts'; some good, some bad. For instance, he became the first captain to be sent off in 2005 against Austria, as well as the first player to be sent off twice playing for the country. However, some landmarks are decidedly more optimistic. His place in the England team had been questioned in some quarters in the lead up to Germany 2006 with observers viewing Beckham now as an Eriksson favourite. He helped dispel some of those accusations with a man of the match display in the group stages against Trinidad and Tobago before netting a goal against Ecuador. In doing so, Beckham became the first English player to score in three World Cup tournaments. Fitness concerns then saw him benched early on against Portugal in the quarter-final. He could be seen nursing his ankle on the bench with tears in his eyes, powerless to prevent the Three Lions from slipping to yet another penalty kick defeat. 


1 June 2007 Come back brighter






David Beckham relinquished the England captaincy in the wake of World Cup 2006, bidding a tearful public farewell but promising to remain available for selection. The new coach Steve McClaren had regeneration in mind when he dumped Beckham, along with some other senior players, from his plans working towards Euro 2008. A year elapsed before the coach was forced into an embarrassing climb down and reintroduced the LA-bound player to his plans. The new-look England had struggled, drawing with Macedonia and Israel, as well as losing at rivals Croatia in a hotch potch campaign. McClaren fielded Beckham against Brazil in the June friendly and he provided his side the assist for captain John Terry's goal. A few days later he laid on two goals as the side downed Estonia in a competitve fixture to put England back on track. Beckham had successfully fought his way back once more. Following his hard work at Real Madrid, which forced Fabio Capello to include him in the first-team squad for the Liga run-in after banishing him to the reserves, Beckham again displayed his resilience. Ultimately, McClaren's tenure would be a failure as the team missed out on the tournament proper. 


28 March 2009 Surpassing Bobby




It has been said that David Beckham is an icon for a commercial age; his celebrity has enhanced his global appeal perhaps more than his football ability. And for this reason a certain element of the old guard were displeased when it transpired that Brand Beckham was going to overtake Bobby Moore as England's all-time record outfield caps holder. Fabio Capello had boosted Beckham's caps count with run-outs in friendly matches until that day last year when he finally passed the West Ham legend, playing his 109th match for England. Beckham celebrated the game in typical fashion, with an assist for Wayne Rooney, and has added another six to that total for a grand sum of 115 at the age of 35. Events in San Siro, Milan, on March 14 ensured that his gallant attempt to provide his coach with selection difficulties for the World Cup were doomed to fail. And now, as a result of Capello's lack of diplomacy, we know that this is where the story ends. It's a shame we knew before Beckham did.

Castle - season 3#

ABC announced on 30 March 2010 that a television series, Castle has been renewed for its third season with a 22 episode full-season order. Presently, mystery solving crime dramedy, “Castle” is at an all time high after receiving a huge ratings boost this week. So the network has decided to renew the series for a third season. Castle Season 3 premieres this September with the first of 22 new episodes.

“Castle’s latest episode attracted the show’s largest audience to date (14.5 million viewers) and gave ABC its best scripted performance in the time-slot in 14 years. Yeah, that’s crazy considering when the show first began there were rumors of cancellation floating around every week. ABC’s season 3 pick-up order will include a full 22 episodes so sit back relax and enjoy more campy detective action. I for one, have yet to get into “Castle” because my DVR is already on overload due to my current roster but I’m happy for its success,” according to EW.

ABC’s “Castle” TV show revolve around Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion), who is a cult favorite for fan-boys around the globe because of his connection to Joss Whedon. A well-known mystery novelist and divorced father raising his adolescent daughter (Molly Quinn as Alexis), while being kept grounded by his Broadway diva mother (Susan Sullivan as Martha Rodgers). When viewers first met Castle, he was creatively blocked. Castle found inspiration in the form of a bright and aggressive homicide Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) to solve the years-old unsolved murder of her own mother, when the NYPD questioned him in connection with a series of murders staged to imitate crime scenes from his books.

On ABC’s “Castle” TV show, Castle and Beckett instantly clashed. When Castle stepped in to help find the copycat killer, sparks of another sort also began to fly, leading both to danger and a hint of romance. They both built on their new relationship, investigating more strange homicides in New York, when initial case was solved on ABC’s “Castle” TV show. Castle has used his newfound experience in the field as fodder with Beckett as his muse for his latest and soon-to-be-published bestseller, Heat Wave.

Paul the octopus could make millions

International icon and unofficial king of Spain, Paul the Oracle Octopus has officially retired from the World Cup match-predicting racket and may now be used to cash in. According to CNN, the Sea Life aquarium where Paul resides is entertaining offers for Paul's promotional services and PR people are drooling over his potential to make millions.

PR guru Max Clifford, best known for generating tabloid headlines such as "Freddie Starr ate my hamster," believes Paul, who was born in England, has ended his soothsaying days at exactly the right time. "Obviously his 100 percent record is remarkable but the minute he gets it wrong it all disappears," Clifford told CNN.

Now Paul could star in light-hearted commercials. "If you get it right, and remember Paul has had worldwide success ... you're talking about an earning potential of £2 or £3 million (up to $4.5 million), maybe more. It's got to bring a smile to everybody's face. You've got the world's first multimillion-pound octopus here.

Up to $4.5 million for the endorsement of an octopus that ate a clam out of a box labeled with the flag of a match-winning team eight consecutive times? It's ridiculous, but when you consider the money paid to humans who have done far less than that to endorse a wide range of horrible products, it starts to make sense.

[Video: Watch the octopus in action]

The only problem with Paul? He's just six months shy of the average three-year lifespan for an octopus. Then again, that's probably a generous assessment of how long people will remember him anyway.

Another expert agreed, saying there was no limit to the ways in which Paul could be marketed. "Obviously he has a short shelf life but there are many options," said Allyson Stewart-Allen, director of London-based International Marketing Partners.

"A good use for him would be in adverts featuring two competing brands, such as Coke or Pepsi. Which does Paul prefer?" said Stewart-Allen.

"The gaming industry would be the logical use for Paul, or marketing a service that compares the market. Or he could just be an icon, marketing a company like Octopus Travel, for instance.

So keep an eye out for Paul the octopus billboards, TV ads and Happy Meal toys over the coming months. Followed by the most expensive octopus dish ever.
