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.

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.
