It's great. I hope we could read the whole letter he sent to his fans. I wonder how Umbridge is going to look in the movie. She has to be similar to what is in the book because Daniel thinks she is brilliant.

I think he has said that about every actor and director the film has had. I guess even if he doesn't like them, he says it to help them get press and stuff too. Not to mention saying good things also makes him look good.

Glad to hear that all is going well.
I'm very curious to see how Professor Umbridge's role will be played. She was so deliciously nasty. It would be very disappointing if she was portrayed as anything less.

I am excited to see that Umbridge woman up on film. I hated her so much when I was reading the book. Going to check out Dan's newsletter.

That sounds a bit ironic, hearing Dan call Imelda Staunton brilliant, while she's playing an evil woman. :-P Hehe, I'll bet she is a great actress and am looking forward to seeing her in this role.

"So sad Dan won't be answering his fanmail personally anymore."

I think you misunderstood it. :)
He will answer his fanmail personally like he has always made. But he explains that he won't be able to personally answer some of the scrapbooks and albums he has received recently.

Ahh, I'm anticipating just a little preview from this movie soooo badly!! I can't wait. If Dan says Staunton is really good, I can't wait to see her preformance as Umbridge. It should be great.
