Sounds good. Can't wait until they start to publicity for December Boys. It will be great to see Dan in a different type of film.

Cannot wait to see the fifth movie, even though Prof Umbridge is a character you love to hate! I wonder how brilliant Staunton is as her character?

Dan sounds like he's having the time of his life...how I wish I could see the set of Harry Potter!

Well, crud, what else is D.R. going to say -- "Yates is AWFUL, this movie is sooooo going to suck"? I think not. However, I'm thrilled about the choice of director, because it's not Cuaron. Now, if we can only devise a way to get rid of Gambon and have Peter O'Toole play Dumbledore.....
