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.

http://au.search.yahoo.com/search/video?p=...ei=UTF-8&fr=fp& cv=g&x=wrt

John B.

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.


Donna

We are more than happy to receive more videos . Please send them to videos@the-leaky-cauldron.org.



Donna

Gee, thanks Donna!

And yes, any videos you have, send them to videos@the-leaky-cauldron.org and we will get them up online as soon as possible, with you as a credited source (don't wanna have any lawsuits sicked on us do we )

--Alex

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.




Donna

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 have to say, I love this new feature of LC - Spending way too much time watching!

Thanks Guys!

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".

Here is your October update on the Leaky Video Gallery.

There are now 451 videos in the Gallery. The newest addition is the Pottercast Wizard Rock Special. This video contains footage of Harry and the Potters, Draco and the Malfoys and the Remus Lupins during their Summer 2006 tours. Comes complete with screaming fans !!

The videos in this Gallery have been viewed a staggering 81,232 times since it's launch last month and there have been 10,928 downloads.

The most popular category remains Daniel Radcliffe, followed by Emma Watson, however, the behind the scenes specials also remain very popular. The wonderful Evanna Lynch interview is the 5th most popular video.

If you need any help navigating the site, please feel free to contact one of the Gallery team, or post in our HELP thread!! We will endeavour to point you in the right direction.



Donna - Gallery Manager

A brand new video has been added to the Video Gallery by brand new Video Gallery staffer SuperBlue .

It's a very recent interview with Rupert Grint and you can view it here. In it he talks about his recent film, Driving Lessons, and it contains clips of him in this. There are also the obligatory HP clips and questions .

It's great fun and wonderful to see Rupert on his own.

I would also like to officially SuperBlue to the Gallery staff. Many of you will be familiar with him as he is a fantastic member of the Reading Group staff, but he is also helping add new videos to the Gallery and adding them to the featured video section.

*waves hi to the peanut gallery*

Yes, as the wonderful Donna mentioned, I will be managing the content of our beloved Video Galleries and working closely with all the Gallery Girls (whose tireless work put even the most dedicated house elf to shame) and Chris to upload new videos and actually place them in within the confines of the vidgals themselves.

If ever there is anything not in here that you have a specific request for, please let me know and we'll see what we can do to find it!

And yes.....*cough* join the L&S Reading Groups before time runs out!

~Andrew

Here is another update for you all .

We now have 468 videos in the Leaky Video Gallery.

Recent additions include an 11 part interview with Jo Rowling from 2002, which is linked to and discussed in the thread here.

There is an interview with a very sweet, (and young), Emma Watson, talking about her role in Harry Potter and that can be viewed here.

We also have a two part, and very recent, interview with Jo Rowling on the "Richard and Judy" show which can be viewed here and here.

Enjoy !

We hit a great milestone in the Video Gallery yesterday with the 500th video being added . Huge applause to ChrisDotsonTLC and SuperBlue for their efforts in this awesome part of Leaky .

* David Tennant (Barty Crouch Jr) on a quiz show here.

Hold on tight for when the OotP teaser trailer hits the airwaves soon!

It's been a rollercoaster of a week in the Leaky Video Gallery with not only the official teaser trailer for the OotP film released, but a plethora of sneaky peak videos as well. If you don't mind spoilers of the enormous kind, then definately check out the HBO OotP sneak peak which has been hugely popular, (as this forum could testify to!!)

Other additions to the Gallery include more behind the scenes videos for the GoF movie and also footage from premieres, and this short but sweet video of Daniel talking to CBBC's Newsround about the reaction to the OotP trailer.

Another couple of videos have been added to the Gallery this week with more news about the OotP film.

However if you would like to get away from Harry and Death Eaters for a little while , then check out this short preview of Dan Radcliffe's forthoming movie, December Boys. It's worth watching for the stunning scenery alone.
