Wowzers!!!

We almost don't care if critics of these Young Adult novels say they're a Harry Potter rip-off, because The Mortal Instruments film franchise looks sweeter than Zac Efron's bicep dipped in honey!!

Ch-ch-check out Lily Collins as Clary Fray in the first official trailer for City of Bones (above)!

The FIERCE fire-haired protagonist joins Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Lena Headey, Jamie Campbell-Bower, and Kevin Zegers in this epically cast first installment hitting theaters in late August!

Based on Cassandra Clare's series of novels, the story follows a young girl who finds out her destiny is to hunt demons!!

We think it's our destiny to watch these movies, LOLz!!

ICYMI, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and Prince Harry visited the Warner Bros. studio in London where they took the Harry Potter tour!

It was all very adorable and made us want to enroll at Hogwarts IMMEDIATELY.

Well, this had us wondering… Wills, Kate and Harry are basically Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley all grown up, right? We've already got a half-blood prince!

Pull out your Marauder's Map because we're about to go on a royal journey of magic and mystery!

Expelliarmus your mouse because you're not going anywhere!

HEY, that's not Ron, Hermione and Harry! Well, it IS a Harry, but not the Harry we're used to seeing in Diagon Ally!

Prince Harry, Prince William, and the very pregnant Kate Middleton paid a visit to the inauguration of London's Warner Brothers studios Friday…

Where they apparently channeled their inner witch and wizards during the Harry Potter portion of the studio tour!

Just look at how they wave those wands (above), you'd think the magic casting contraptions had CHOSEN them specifically for the honor! LOLzz.

AND, not only did the royal magic makers get to frolic about a world of witchcraft and wizadry, they ALSO got to chat with Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling!

Color us emerald with envy!!

And even though we know Kate, Harry, and Wills are proper posh aristocrats, we totally believe they were as excited to be pretend-playing Harry Potter as Hagrid is about, oh, all magical creatures — the wilder the better!

Ch-ch-check out tons of snaps from the enchanting event (below)!

When Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone director Chris Columbus decided to write a children's book, there was a pretty obvious person to talk to!

He sought the advice of Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling!

Ch-ch-check out the video (above) to find out how J.K.- and British fans of The Goonies- helped to make House Of Secrets what it is!

So what did the super successful author have to say about the finished product? She wrote:

"A breakneck, jam-packed roller coaster of an adventure about the secret power of books, HOUSE OF SECRETS comes complete with three resourceful sibling heroes, a seriously creepy villainess, and barrel loads of fantasy and fear."

Nice! Though she did finish the quote with a JK, so we're really not sure if she liked it or not! LOLz!

Uhhh, Angelenos!! We get to go to HOGWARTS! Very, very soon!

Though we've heard whispers of such magic for quite some time now, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will officially be coming to Los Angeles’ Universal Hollywood, as construction is set to start this summer!!

We repeat. Harry Potter. Los Angeles. SOON.

As part of NBCUniversal’s 25-year Evolution Plan, the goal is to create tons — 30,000 to be exact — of jobs and hopefully generate $2 BILLION!

The theme park will hopefully be ready for the public by 2015, and though it’s not clear which Wizarding World attractions will be built, we do know that Hogwarts Castle will be a centerpiece.

NBCUniversal revealed:

Rachel Rostad is pretty badass at slam poetry, so we'll get that out of the way first and foremost!

Secondly, she makes some VERY good points in an open letter/poem to J.K. Rowling about the ONLY Chinese character in Harry Potter — and namely how her name doesn't make very much sense!

In a book that has completely made up worlds, creatures, characters, words, and EVERYTHING beautiful about the series, we never realized how kinda messed up it is to name the only Chinese character Cho Chang! Why? Because it's is a combination of two Korean last names!

You know, kinda like finding a Frenchmen named 'García Sánchez!'

At least that's the example that Rachel gives in rousing few minutes worth everybody's time (above)!

What say you, J.K.?? What say you, fans??

Daniel Radcliffe is one sexy little movie star! And we do mean little!

The Harry Potter was spotted at a wedding in Chelsea over the weekend, saying goodbye to some friends.

We told him smoking stunts your growth!

OK, Daniel isn't THAT short! Nor are his friends giants!

What you're seeing is a paparazzo accidentally using the same forced perspective tricks they used to make the hobbits look small in Lord Of The Rings!

Ch-ch-check out the pics (below) for some better angles of the actor.

BTW, in case you were wondering, Daniel is a very gorgeous 5 foot 5!
