The Casual Vacancy is set in an English town, Pagford, where a sudden death shocks the community. It turns out, Pagford is a town at war.  From Rowling's website:

Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils…Pagford is not what it first seems.

Although the site doesn’t officially open to the public until October, there have already been over 22 million pageviews, and a million lucky people were chosen for a sneak peek and the opportunity to shape the website’s development. Those early users have been able to do things like learn new facts about the Potterverse, open an account at the goblin bank Gringotts, and collect items for a virtual “trunk.”

In this well-edited re-imagining of the HP7 trailer, we get a glimpse of what the immensely popular saga might have looked like had it missed the mark and gone for typical teen comedy instead of the unique and imaginative world to which fans were treated. See the beloved characters Harry, Ron and Hermione deal with cliched teen adventures like young love, the big game and partying, all set to hip music.

That number surpasses the previous record holder, ‘The Dark Knight,’ which opened to $158.4 million in 2008.

“I’m too old for cartwheels, but it’s close,” said Dan Fellman, Warner Bros.’ president for domestic distribution. “At the same time it’s bittersweet. It’s also the end of a great franchise, and we’ve watched these talented kids grow up.”

Whatever your situation, the Fine Brothers are here to help.

In an interview with GQ, the ‘Harry Potter’ star admitted he developed a dangerous drinking problem as a way to deal with his fame.
