Moviefone is looking for the ultimate Harry Potter and Twilight fans. according to their website:

‘Twilight’ and ‘Harry Potter’ are both fantasy books-turned-movies, and they’ve shared one actor in the form of Mr. Pattinson (who played Cedric in ‘Potter’ and now plays Edward in ‘Twilight’). They have also both achieved cult-like devotion from their rabid fans.

Before the next ‘Potter’ film comes out on Nov. 19, we’re curious to see which movie (and book) series’ fans have the strongest base.

For one thing, we’re looking for the biggest ‘Harry Potter’ fans and biggest ‘Twilight’ fans to submit videos about why they’re the best and craziest representatives for their franchise. Think you have what it takes? Submit your video about why you’re the biggest ‘Harry Potter’ or ‘Twilight’ fan of them all. Winner gets bragging rights and possibly the chance to thumb-wrestle your ‘Potter’ or ‘Twilight’ counterpart.”

Submit your video here.

Note the competition isn’t about hating the other franchise, it’s talking about having more passionate fans. Personally we still think that the two coolest werewolves of all time are Jacob Black and Remus Lupin. On their downtime they discuss their problems with vampires  and death eaters while sharing a butter beer and watching the sunset at La Push.

A group of people from Capricho took a trip to the Isle Esme location and took pictures from their boat in the areas where they were permitted. More photos at their site. Full report via Google translation under the cut(sorry running out the door and I don’t have time to clean it up) to stop those of you who are avoiding spoilers from seeing them.

Also a great before and after view of the island on Twilight Treasury. They imported one heck of a lot of sand to fill out the beach.

According to the twitter of Sérgio Sá Leitão(seen in blue next to Bill Condon at yesterday’s press conference), the director of Rio Filme, the organization that is working with Summit in Brazil:

“A ilha, a praia e a casa vão ficar lindas em Amanhecer. E não se preocupem com a ausência do bracelete… Tudo de acordo com o planejado.Depende da montagem. Mas se for isso… Está ótimo. Igual ao livro. @karinnasoares: Verdade q só teremos 5min de Brasil no filme Amanhecer?”

or in English

“The island, the beach, and the house will all be beautiful for Breaking Dawn. Don’t worry about the missing bracelet (we assume he means wrist cuff). Everything is going according to plan. Even if Brazil is only in the movie for five minutes after they edit all the footage together, it’s going to be a spectacular five minutes.”

A debate broke out on twitter about Edward not wearing the wrist cuff in the scenes filmed in the Lapa section. As Alison on TwiFans pointed out, “It’s not exactly wedding attire.” Laura joked, “Maybe Bella took it off with her teeth on the plane.”

Another discussion arose surrounding Edward not wearing a wedding ring. Folks immediately went back to the novel where: surprise, surprise there is NO MENTION of Edward having a wedding ring (or the ring part of the ceremony at all for that matter). Another excellent point brought up on Twifans was that prior to WWII it was uncommon for men to wear wedding rings, maybe Edward wouldn’t want one since he was born in 1901?

NOTE: Sergio was responding to multiple questions (like 100’s) regarding the wrist cuff, so we believe he references that and not the charm bracelet.
