● Having yet to scandalize with his tales of binge drinking and ungroomed nethers, Daniel Radcliffe says that he likes to "like somebody before I sleep with them," but that sex with Harry Potter groupies "has happened." And a million new Harry fanfics were born. [NYDN]

The Harry Potter movie adaptations have done just fine for themselves, ranging in quality from acceptable to pretty good, taking in enough cumulative box office money to turn Antartica into a dog colony. They haven't won many Academy Awards, though, not unless you count technical categories like Best Visual Effects and Best Score (which nobody does). There's been a dearth of those important acting and Best Picture nominations for a franchise that's had a permanent role in the theater for over a decade -- a streak that continued with the lack of big nominations for the final installment, 2011's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. Daniel Radcliffe, the erstwhile Potter, was not very pleased about that, telling the Guardian that the snub came down to a type of elitism.

We all know what happens when you allow Harry Potter superfans unbridled access to the Internet: they make it awful! Today we saw all of those muggles try to take over Twitter by making "RIP Lily and James Potter” a trending topic.

Harry Potter megafans have been flocking to Pottermore, an interactive game site based on the books by J.K. Rowling. What is essentially a Second Life for the kind of people who dressed up as wizards and witches for the films' opening nights, the site will provide additional content not found in the books or the movies, including background information about Harry Potter characters. All of this takes place within the world of Harry and his chums, and users will even get to enroll in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, proving that a major overhaul of the education system in the United States might not be so bad. More importantly, Pottermore hopefuls are worried that they'll be placed in an uncool house of wizards and witches!

● Harry Potter beat out Twilight in the Choice Sci-Fi/Fantasy category at last night's Teen Choice Awards. Everything else went to Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, or Justin Bieber, more or less.

Hall seems to be adjusting quit nicely to the single life, bonding with his furry friends as single people are wont do. "Things are great. I’m loving life,” he said. “I spend a lot of time with my cats.... They’re my four-legged friends.” [ShowbizSpy]

Some people will just never recover from the end of Harry Potter, even though the last movie was kind of a mess. For example, an editorial in today's Post says it's "odd" that J.K. Rowling hasn't put Harry and the gang on TV, and that "TV is the logical next step." "How can it then be true that there will be no more Harry Potter books or movies -- or anything?" ponders the writer. Sigh.

● Anderson Cooper tried to make a game for his followers, posting a picture of himself shirtless and covered in mud to twitter and asking followers to guess where he was based on hints like "Not a spa. I don't like spas." The dirt will wash off, but the muddy memories are forever.

An artist named Tracy Ann Lister, who makes unsettlingly realistic baby dolls, has come out with a new line: Harry Potter characters as infants. They're...not cute. Voldemort, Snape, and Dobby all cross over into nightmare-inducing territory. Even so, bidding on eBay seems to stand at over $200 for most of them. Some of the other ones aren't so disturbing -- Remus Lupin is sort of cute, as is Hermione. But holy hell, who is buying these demonic creatures?

● J-Lo and Marc Anthony, a couple who we thought might be happily high-maintenance together forever, have split. Divorce, however, can't stop the show - they are still hoping to host their Latin talent search, Q'Viva!, together this fall. [THR] ● Harry Potter sold $476 million in tickets worldwide over the weekend, breaking all sorts of box office records and rendering the rest of the summer's blockbusters as failures.
