It is just too small. I cannot read it well. But from the caption, I assume it was a lovely letter. Keep up the good work then!!

That's nice. I hope that Yates would make a better movie than the last director did.
So far, my favrite director of all the movies has been Aflonso. I hope they would be able to get him back to direct Harry Potter again! I did a great job, even if they only showed half of the book.

That's interesting to hear that Daniel Radcliffe likes the lady who will be playing Umbridge. From all the pictures i have seen of her, she looks great for the part! LOVE YOU DAN!

I'm glad that Dan thinks Yates is brilliant because I was slightly worried because he hadn't done any blockbuster films until this one (I think this is his first film even) But then again at least he won't try to tear the book apart like some big-shot directors would do.
Can't WAIT to see Imelda Staunton as Umbridge. She's bound to win awards, she's a brilliant actress and she's playing a BRILLIANT character!

That's so sweet of Dan to update us on everything. I think it shows how modest he is, that he is still willing to connect with his fans. I'm glad he likes Imelda Staunton, I thought she looked perfect for the role of Umbridge. I wonder if she's offended at her character being compared to a toad...

I need to write Dan. My friend got a letter from him. I think it is cool how he sends letters to all of his fans. He doesn't have to do it but he does. It is neat.

That's so cool! I'm glad he takes time to actually read what people write. Too bad he can't write to them personally.

Some of the only actors or actresses they've (the casting people) ever chosen exactly right, were Skeeter and Umbrige (or at least I think Umbrige, since I've seen a few pics).

Cool, glad that Dan thinks that she's good. He thinks Umbridge is good (?). OKay, well, that's odd. At least we have some hope that th e person playing her will do a good job.
