It's great that he says the director is fantastic and that Staunton is brilliant, let's hope that the movie is as fantastic as the director and brilliant as Staunton.

I'm glad he's a good director since he has only directed small movies.

Umbridge is someone brilliant... she has to be, she plays a great and not so easy role on that movie, I enjoy him saying that the director is someone fantastic, I hope it'll reflect on the movie! In almost a year, did you think about it?

If Dan says they're great, then they're great. Dan's word is most definitely reliable, as all the Lovah's know. ;)
Thus, that's awesome! I'm so glad they're both really good! I can't wait 'til OotP comes out.

~*harry's girl*~, I agree, Dan knows what he is talking about. For example, in one of his lastest newsletters he said that the movie Crash was his favorite of the year. Then, months later, Crash won the Oscar for best film :D

Yay! I'm very glad he's a "brilliant" director. I haven't seen any of his other films so I was kind of nervous to find out what he's like.

I hope Yates is as good as Dan says he is. If he directs any way like the last one (sorry, I can't remember his name at the moment), then OotP will surely be a hit.

Sounds good. I really wish all the newsletters were just posted on the internet, but that wouldn't be fair to everyone who took the trouble to write to him. I do want to read them, though!

Cool! I'll read it as soon as i finish this post. I can't wait to read the part about Imelda Staunton. I've just seen one of her movies, and she was an amazing actress! Obviously, she'll do an amazing job with Professor Umbridge.

Well it's really great that Dan is letting us know what he thinks of his colleagues! It's always interesting to see how actors think of their colleagues. I really hope that Staunton is a really wicked Umbridge. I mean, that's how Umbridge is supposed to be: really wicked and mean! And it's good to hear that Yates is a good director. I hope he gives us a real treat with the next Harry Potter movie!
