The BBC is to launch a reality series which will follow a group of children learning magic at a Harry Potter-style boarding school.
The Sorcerer's Apprentice, which will air later this year, will show the children learning card tricks, Latin spells and illusions.
Each week, they will perform for "magic mentors" who will judge their performances and decide who must leave.
BBC executive Anne Gilchrist thinks the show will "inspire and amaze".
Barney Harwood, who currently presents Totally Doctor Who, will front the series as the children progress. LINK.

Children like Lloyd Saunders, will be asked to act as book waiters at Swindon Central Library's new book bar
I’ll have a fizzy pop and a Harry Potter, please...
Bookworms at Swindon's new library could be ordering a shot of Shakespeare or a pint of Potter.
Young people will be able to gossip about their favourite authors while relaxing with a cappuccino at the library's new Book Bar-all.

JK Rowling only Briton to make US rich list
J K Rowling was beaten only by Oprah Winfrey
J K Rowling's billion-dollar fortune has made her the second richest woman in show business and the only British name on a Top 20 list complied by Forbes magazine.
The Harry Potter author, said to be worth £510 million, or $1 billion, was beaten only by Oprah Winfrey's £760 million fortune in Forbe's list of the richest women in entertainment.
photo creditProgress on Book Six
Book six is well underway, hooray, though I am still at the stage where I have a large and complicated chart propped on the desk in front of me to remind me what happens where, how, to whom and which bits of crucial information need to be slipped into which innocent-looking chapters.
I started writing Harry Potter Six before my son David (who has just turned one) was born, but then took a bit of a break during the serious sleep-deprivation phase of his babyhood. I am really enjoying writing this book, though for the first time I am conscious that I am approaching the end of the series. So much of what happens in book six relates to book seven that I feel almost as though they are two halves of the same novel. Regular visitors to this site will find information about what’s in book six if they can work out where to look. Patience is the key.

Readers are lining up around the virtual block for the new Harry Potter book, even though it doesn't have a publication date yet.
More than 1,500 people have signed up on an Internet waiting list at the Hennepin County Library for "Harry Potter and the Ghostly Hallows," the seventh and final installment of the blockbuster series that chronicles the battle between a plucky teen wizard and the evil Lord Voldemort.

Much of the scenery was filmed in Scotland, and tours are available
Harry Potter fans don't need magic to see the boy wizard on his home turf, they just need a good map. "The movies were filmed in the United Kingdom," says Jeannie Barresi, whose Colorado company, Beyond Boundaries Travel, runs Harry Potter tours in Great Britain. "A lot of the scenery was shot in Scotland, plus some other places in England."
Mention the name of the new "Harry Potter" director and the near-universal response is, "Who?"
After creating a $3.5 billion franchise with a string of high-profile filmmakers—Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuarón and Mike Newell—Warner Bros. hired David Yates to take the reins for "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," which will be released next summer.
Yates is unknown here, but he's been building an impressive résumé in his native Britain. His movie "Sex Traffic," about women forced into international prostitution, was widely praised.
In 2004 he won a British Directors' Guild award for the TV series "State of Play," a political thriller.
And his last film, HBO's "The Girl in the Café," is a romance set at the G8 economic summit (yes, really), and earned an Emmy this year.
Harry Potter has revealed one of his final secrets. British author JK Rowling on Thursday(12/21/06) disclosed the title of the seventh and final book in her series: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Rowling had hidden the title on her official website, and visitors to the site had to play an online game to find out what it was, Britain's BBC news channel reported. US publisher Scholastic confirmed the title in a statement.
Rowling said in a posting on her website that she is still working on the eagerly anticipated finale of the series.
