Oh gosh I'm the third person to post! I think :P well I think it's most BRILLIANT he's stairing in another movie! Yay for Rupert it should make all the fans in Rupert actor thread happy! Say I think Tom should act in another movie it would be cool to see an older him act in other movies besides Harry Potter! Who's Laura Linney though?

Ooookay. Cool that Rupert's gonna be in another non-HP movie, but I'm having a hard time picturing him and Laura Linney. It sounds interesting, at any rate!

That sounds cool, at least they get a chance to branch out, I hope it doesn't affect any of the upcoming Harry movies

Awesome! It will be cool to see one of the trio in another film besides Harry Potter. I just hope that Julie Walters isn't playing his mother in this film, cause that would just be too weird.

It sounds like it's going to be a great film, it's good to see they are doing others films togather besides HP. They seem to like working with each other.

This is really awesome news! Now is the time for the kids to try out other projects so they don't end up being type cast. If they don't get involved in other projects, they'll end up going the way of so many child actors. It will be great to see Rupert try his hand with a new character, and I love Julie Walters so, this film will be a must-see for me! But yes, let's hope Rupert is free for the filming of OOTP!

I think this is the perfect opportunity for Rupert to venture elsewhere. He doesn't want to do just HP movies, he wants to do more. And there are plenty who will go out to see the movie...curiousity(sp?) is what will bring them out because everyone will want to know if Rupert can pull off a character outside of the Ron/HP universe.

This is exciting. I was wondering when the trio were going to start picking up other projects. Just like other fans, though, I must say I hope they stick around for all the HP flicks! It just wounldn't be the same without them.
