That is great. It is important for everyone to love each other to make these films work as good as they do. I am glad that when writing the books JK doesnt have to ensure that the words like each other. IT WOULD TAKE FOREVER

I am hoping Umbridge will be very very spooky and mean. In her fluffy pink outfits of course. I can't wait to see her and McGonagall hammer it out back and forth in the next movie. It's going to be brilliant, of course nothing like the books. How could it be that genius? Maybe if they do an extended edition Director's Cut DVD. That'd be the illest thing ever.

Oh, it's cool that Dan says that Staunton is doing well as Umbridge, but I think I'll reserve judgement until I see it for myself. Right now she doesn't fit the mental picture I have of Umbridge, but maybe it'll be closer by the time they get the movie out. Of course a lot of the new characters in GoF didn't match the mental pictures I have of them, but they were still acceptable, so we'll see.

How totally cute. How old is he now? That's right . . . still very young. Well Dan, I do have to say that I have been impressed with your work. As a young actor, it is hard, but you have embraced the challenge just as your character would. (I type this as if he can read it, ah well.)

I see there going to have a new Director for the Order of the Pheonix movie. It gets boring when there isn't much on the events of Harry Potter. To wait til 2007 is going to be mind binding, along with book 7.

Glad to hear it! If Radcliffe and the other actors are happy with yates' directing and stauton's performance, then I have no doubt that they won't disappoint the audience. I wish them luck with the rest of the film!
