'Potter' Internet Site Launched
Friday, February 16, 2001 12:00 AM EST
Warner Bros. unveiled an Internet site on Friday featuring exclusive photos and news from the upcoming movie "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".
Details of the fantasy-adventure, from "Home Alone" director Chris Columbus, have remained under tight security during filming in the United Kingdom.
The Website, HarryPotter.com, includes quizzes, games, production updates, trailers and movie clips as they become available, according to Warner Bros.
The site links to various fan-managed Harry Potter Web pages, according to Kevin Tsujihara, executive vice president of Warner's new media division.
"We want HarryPotter.com to reach and bring together fans of all ages around the globe", he said.
The film, based on the first of author J.K. Rowling's best-selling children's novels, stars 11-year-old Daniel Radcliffe as the child wizard and Richard Harris as his mentor, Professor Dumbledore.
In the story, Harry discovers he is among a select group of wizards when he is invited to a world kept secret from non-magical people, known derisively as "muggles".
The movie is set for release in November.
