Vote Harald for the peoples choice award.
Haugesund Film Festival has a peoples choice award and Harald
is one of the candidates. Here at Haralds fanpage we hope that as many
as possible will go and vote for the best on the list (and would not
that be Harald). Go
here to vote!
If you want to go and read about the nominees you could go here.
All info is in Norwegian.
Two commercials with Harald runs on TV now.
There are currently two new commercials on TV for the Elkjøp
stores. One has Harald as an director and that is of a goal keeper that
when he does a great job in the goal and turns around to the public
I sees that there are nobody watching because the sale has started at
Elkjøp.
The other is with Harald as an actor and he plays Beethoven, and he
buys a piano. But he gets furious when he finds out that he paid double
of what he had to. Harald's friend Bjørn Nagell directed this
one. If you want to read more about this commercial you could visit
Chap
Films website. (This website is in Norwegian only, sorry)

Agent Cody Bank on DVD
Yesterday I spotted the two first stores to have Agent Cody Banks in
stock. There is therefore no reason to not go out and buy it.
The DVD that has been released is the American/Canadian version (details
can be found further down this page), and you have to have a region
1 player to view it. If you don't know if your player can view region
1 disc please consult your manual.
The European and Norwegian DVD edition of the movie will come out in
January, and it will have all the same features as this one. But Harald
did once mention that there might be a little extra surprise on the
Norwegian edition, so we just have to wait and se on that one.
You can probably find it in your local store if you live in America
or Canada, but you could also buy it on the internet from most online
DVD stores. I bought mine from www.dv-depot.com
and that is because they ship with DHL and FedEx at a really good price.
I will therefore have my copy in a couple of days, and a review will
come.

The Norwegian Grand Premiere of "Agent Cody Banks" was
yesterday, and all of Norway's finest celebrities were there to celebrate
Harald, and his newest movie.
The Harald Zwart Fan Page was well represented there as well. We
had a great time and took a lot of photos. Since I managed to forget my
camera I have to get all the photos from the others that were there, but
believe me that is not a bad substitute.
For now we only have a few photos but we will get more of Harald,
Frankie and all the other stars. The photos that are here now is of Harald
and some proud member of this websites forum. (Pictures
taken by Heine Pedersen)

Agent Cody Banks on the Norwegian trams.
Yesterday I got a big surprise when I was away from my
computer. I saw a tram with commercials for Agent Cody Banks on it, and I
had to take some pictures. Today I made some calls and found out that
there are approximately 10 trams with the same commercials on it right
now.
I did not manage to take a picture of the whole thing, but there is a
text at the right that tells when it has its Norwegian premiere.

There are more new articles
Some may
have noticed that it has been less news the weeks that has gone, and that
has several reasons. First of all Harald is a busy man, but he do not turn
up in the news every day. Who does? Secondly we are still waiting for some
server changes so we can have some extra space. But there are a few places
on this site that changes more often. The forum is well visited, and that
is nice to see. In fact it has been so much visited that I got a warning
last month from my server provider.
But there are often new articles in the "Articles & Links" website.
We are currently searching thru 4500 international news sites and over 200
Norwegian news sites every day for news about Harald. Most of the news
that we come up with is in Norwegian, but there are also some interesting
ones in English. So take a look
But continue to check out this news page regularly because all the
exiting news and changes will appear here. There may also be some cool
contests with great prices.
