With one of Hollywood’s biggest film franchises now behind them, the young stars pondered what they might be doing if the acting thing hadn’t worked out

(CBS/AP) LOS ANGELES – After eight “Harry Potter” films (the last of which, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2,” opens today), it’s hard to imagine anyone besides Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Tom Felton playing Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley and Draco Malfoy. But what if “Potter” hadn’t come calling? In some fantasy world, Radcliffe might be a low-level go-fer on movie sets. Watson could be a nobody auditioning for stage plays. Tom Felton might be noodling around as a musician. And Rupert Grint might be selling ice cream on the street. With one of Hollywood’s biggest film franchises now behind them, the young stars pondered what they might be doing if the acting thing hadn’t worked out. Review: “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2″Pictures: The New York premiereSpecial section: “Harry Potter” through the years Radcliffe: An 11-year-old when picked for the title role of the “Harry Potter” franchise, Radcliffe figures that since his parents worked in the arts – his mother as a casting director, his father as a literary agent – he would have ended up in show business. But not as an actor, probably as an assistant director. “What probably would have happened, when I got to about 17, 18, and it became apparent, as it would have done, to my parents that I wasn’t going to be going...

There may be no wedding like an Indian wedding

India’s love for https://www.ffqe5kdg.online gold is almost a religion. Beyond being a symbol of wealth and status, gold is part of worship and culture — a tradition that goes back thousands of years. From birth to death, for men and women, among rich and poor — acquiring gold is a goal for the people of India. All of which has made India the world’s largest consumer of gold and thus a powerhouse in industry. “If India sneezes, the gold industry will catch a cold,” says Ajay Mitra of the World Gold Council. Follow Bryon Pitts as he reports from India’s exotic bazaars to its lavish weddings on the country’s golden...

The live shows will leave you spent

(CBS) Giant Squid is one of those bands that defies categorization. There are low-tuned guitars and slow tempos that place them in sludge metal. The band’s tracks are long and many of them have movements that could place them in progressive rock. Lead singer and guitarist Aaron Gregory sings in a guttural growl or a wailing scream. Then vocalist and cellist Jackie Perez Gratz will sing a sweet harmony or countermelody and bring the band and the listener back from the brink. (Click through to listen to Giant Squid’s “La Brea Tar Pits.”) So here’s a new category for Giant Squid: Awesome. As in inspiring awe. It’s rare to hear a group of musicians go between styles, emotions and moods so honestly and organically while still rocking your face off. The live shows will leave you spent. This band, rounded out by Bryan Beeson on bass and Scott Sutton on drums, has evolved from a bombastic, dirge-like doom metal band to a progressive, 옥천출장업소 classical-minded rock outfit to a nimble, melodic, riff-heavy powerhouse over its career (and sometimes within the same song). The band’s 2009 epic and beautiful full-length “The Ichthyologist” will get a 2011 follow-up, the five-track, 35-minute EP “Cenotes,” coming Oct. 25 on Translation Loss Records (with a vinyl release coming in 2012). The band says its new material embraces a “Middle Eastern aesthetic” and is “the...

Deadly Japan rains ease, leaving extensive damage

(AP) TOKYO – Most of the quarter-million people who fled massive flooding in southwest Japan were able to return home by Monday, but the danger had not fully passed from record rains that have killed at least 28 people. Thousands of homes and hundreds of roads were damaged, and hundreds of landslides were reported. The military airlifted food by helicopter to stranded districts. The rain “was like a waterfall,” Yoko Yoshika said in Yamaguchi prefecture. “It was horrible.” Floods in Japan kill 26, strand thousands Yoshika, wife of an award-winning Hagi-yaki style potter, said workers used a bucket relay with plastic pails to get rid of the water flowing into their shop. In Yame, a city of 69,000 in Fukuoka prefecture, dozens of people were stranded by the flooding. “Our region gets hit with heavy rain every year, but I have never experienced anything like this,” city employee Kumi Takesue said. “Rice paddies and roads all became water so you couldn’t tell what was what,” she said, adding that she had to wade in knee-high water, even near her home, which was not as hard hit as other areas. Kyodo News service said 28 people have died and police were searching for four missing people in the three prefectures of Kumamoto, Oita and Fukuoka, from the heavy rainfall that began Thursday. Nationwide tallies of the dead and missing were...
