In this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly
, Harry Potter director Mike Newell discusses the fact that he is nervous about showing Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire to movie executives in two weeks. The article also states that work has started on Order of the Phoenix and that Daniel Radcliffe will return: "My enthusiasm has absolutely not gone down."
"I'm terribly pleased with the film," says director Mike Newell (Donnie Brasco) of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth movie adapted from J.K. Rowling's series of novels, due Nov. 18. In two weeks, Newell will screen his work (minus completed special effects) for Warner Bros. brass for the first time. Nervous? "Of course!" he says. "This is a story where the kids [are] now teenagers. Is the audience ready for an older Harry Potter? They bought the book--I just hope we present a Harry Potter they want to see." Couldn't have set the stakes better ourselves.
Work has begun on the fifth film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. British TV veteran David Yates will direct, and screenwriter Michael Goldenberg follows Steven Kloves. Harry is still good to go. "My enthusiasm has absolutely not gone down," says Daniel Radcliffe, 15, who wouldn't rule out doing a non-Potter film before starting part 5 in January. "But it would be a mistake to want to show you can do stuff other than Harry Potter so badly that you just rush into something."
This week's issue with Tom Cruise on the cover hits newstands today.
Reminder: Since Warner Bros. has not yet released the cast list for Order of the Phoenix please treat this as a rumor till confirmed.

Sweet deal! They are already starting number 5! I'm glad Dan is coming back again. And that is also a very wise move of him to not just jump into any movie that comes his way. I just hope he isn't to selective. We're rooting for you Dan!!!

I hope Emma and Rupert join in and agree to do the 5th movie too! Otherwise, it'd be weird.

It is great to hear that Daniel Radcliffe is going to be staying for "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", for I believe there is no turning back for him or any of the major Potter kids. NOBODY ELSE CAN TAKE THEIR PLACES! I hope the executives at Warner Brothers will pass of GOF to keep up the intended schedule, and whatever changes ordered must be made quickly. I am dissapointed that Steve Kloves is not going to be the screen writer of OotP. We can only hope that his replacement will follow his direction with the movies.

I'll have to pick that one up...I am so glad that Daniel has a good head on his shoulders. He seems to be very mature for his age. It's very smart of him not to rush into something...good for him.

That's awesome that Dan is doing the 5th film. I hope that Emma and Rupert do the same film also. It is great that they are starting to work on the OOTP. I can't wait until the HBP and the GOF.

This is great!! I'm so happy Dan's coming back. Now we just have to make sure that everyone else will come back! It would suck if they had to change the actors now. I wonder what this new director will bring to the HP movies..

Good news about Dan. I am surprised that he is nervous about showing it to the executives. I hope that does not mean they cut too much out.

I thought we already knew that the trio was signed on for the next movie? Anyways, it's awesome that they are, so that we really feel like the characters in the movies are real as we watch them grow throughout the years. When you replace someone, it just takes away the movie magic (don't mind the pun) and you can't get lost in the story as well.

I'm glad Dan is still doing the 5th movie. I wonder who else is, because it wouldn't be the same with a different Hermione or different Ron. It was already strange when they got another Dumbledor.

I don't understand why people are making such a big deal with the kids getting older. In the books they celebrate a birthday, if they don't keep the orginal people in the cast it will most likely hurt the movies.
