We are just a few months away from the November release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, part one and more danger than Harry, Ron, and Herminoe can shake a wand at. We’ve seen a slew of promotional film stills, which only serve to stir up anticipation and curiosity about the first part of the final chapter of the beloved mystical series.
So far, we’ve seen a bleach-haired Rhys Ifans as Xenophilius Lovegood (Luna’s father), Bill Nighy as Rufus Scrimgeour, and Braveheart’s David O’Hara as Albert Runcorn. But is Rufus Scrimgeour a friend or a foe? We see him again in today’s pics.

The fall and rise of the female werewolf in cinema. Once bitten, twice shy

Most werewolves in the magical world of the movies are male – and there’s a good reason for that. Then again, what are you more scared of? A big hairy monsterman? Or a tiny hairy woman with a baaaad temper?
There’s no escaping it – most werewolves are male. Yes, you do find some female werewolves in literature (writer Angela Carter was partial to them) but with two exceptions you never find them on the silver screen.
