FarmVille: An autumn of magic's in store with Griffin and pals

When these sweet, magical critters were first leaked mid-October (with the Unicorn as last week's latecomer), players expected them to make their FarmVille debut in time for Halloween. Even though we know that there's no guarantee that unreleased items will ever hit the market, it was still a huge disappointment when that didn't happen.

But last night, FarmVille declared on its blog that "magic is in the autumn air" and that "Soon items like this Griffin will be available in the FarmVille Marketplace." So instead of Halloween, it's most likely that the Griffin, Pegasus, Unicorn, Dragon, and Phoenix will be making their appearance at the same time as the Harry Potter: Deathly Hallows (Part 1) movie, which will premiere internationally on November 18th, and in US theaters on November 19th.
