We are absolutely thrilled beyond belief to introduce the Leaky Video Galleries.
This project has been months and months in the making and you can find the news post by Melissa, here.
A small army worked on this, including many Gallery staffers and we hope you are as pleased with it as we are.
Just a run down for you as to how it works  :-
* You can browse by either "category", "year" or "rating".
* There is also a search facility, so if you type, for example, Dan Radcliffe, you will get a huge selection of videos that feature Dan.
* You can leave a comment for each video and also rate it  !
* We currently have 450 videos uploaded for you to view and many more to come.
There really has never been an easier way to view Harry Potter videos than this Gallery.
I would just like to give a special mention to Alex who started this from scratch and really has worked his socks off.
Enjoy!
Donna Hosie - Gallery Manager

Very nicely done and as long as you are putting this together…
Lol I have been searching for some interviews that Bloomsbury Magazine put out a long time ago and have not been able to come up with anything about them since I found them the first time. I spotted them watched the first one and had intended to come back and watch the rest, but they had pulled them down before I got around to them again and I have basically given up on them since then, but if you or one of your sources still have them, they would be nice to see.
Unfortunately the best I can do is tell you the interview was done on a train and was wrapped around how she first got the idea for the Harry Potter series; remarkably enough though, you can still find the snap shots that yahoo got of them when their video crawler cataloged them and you can see them here,
http://au.search.yahoo.com/search/video?p =site%3Awww.bloomsburymagazine.com&ei=UTF-8&fr=fp& cv=g&x=wrt
if that link does not work, just cut and paste the code below into Yahoo’s search engine and make sure the video option is chosen, it should still pop up.
site:www.bloomsburymagazine.com
It’s no biggie of course, but they had caught my attention enough to get me to come back to finish them, so it would be interesting to see and of course they would be nice addition to your collection if you can tract them down.
Hope that helps get you something worth watching,
John B.

Interesting, some how a space got put in that link, if it happens again, just make sure all spaces are taken out and it should work and if worse comes to worse, simply use the coding, that should be fail safe, unless Yahoo nukes it off its server.

Some more information for you on the features  .
You can download each video yourself, as well as viewing it, in either wmv or ipod format. The MB size of each video is displayed under each format for your information as well.
You can also copy the code for each video and link to it.

Wow, could this be more popular? - (to quote Chandler Bing!)
Since the Video Gallery went live, just 2 days ago, there have been 17,356 views of the videos and 1,906 downloads - and the server hasn't crashed once  !!!
The most popular category is, understandably, Daniel Radcliffe, followed by Emma Watson.  is also proving very popular but I believe that could just be DorisTLC  !
The search facility is working extremely well, but please remember to use the HELP thread in this forum if you would like assistance in locating a video.

In case anyone cared to know this but the video in the Alan Rickman section "In Demand" is a HUGE HUGE video with the AR fans.
That video is constantly talked about on his fan sites.
If you watch it you'll understand why!!!!
Thanks Alex for posting it as most other sites don't have a very good link

I would just like to clarify the comments section .
Each video gives you the option to make a comment and view comments made by other people. Click on "add your own" or "read more" to do this.
The "report this comment to a moderator" button should only be used if you happen to come across an inappropriate comment. Thank you.
Remember to rate each video as well . There are stars from "boring" to "cool"! This will help other Leaky fans to decide which videos to watch as they appear under the category of "top rated videos".
