According to Dan . . . who in their right mind listens do Dan? ? ? No offense to him, but he's . . . just a bit whacky . . . .

That's great!....

I'm glad that Imelda Staunton is "brilliant", because one of my main worries for the film was that the woman playing Unmbridge couldn't deliver, I hope we can take Dan's word for it!....

I'm glad to hear she's doing a great job. She is portraying my favorite character from OotP. Not that I like Umbridge, she's evil, but she is such a great character, she adds so much to the book.

Imelda Staunton is a fantastic actress! We will love to hate this character by the end of OotP. She has the ability to make your skin crawl--she is very talented!

I can't wait to see the first clip from OOTP, to see how good David Yates is. I think he's really good, otherwise they wouldn't have hired him.

I am so glad to hear his thoughts on Yates and Staunton. As the director is SO important to a film.This one sounds exceptional with actors.
I think Imaulda Staunton is an amazing actress and I am so happy they could get her for this roll,as SHE was the very person I was hoping they would ask.
It is so very kind of Dan to send frequent newsletters to fans ,so we could know what is on his mind and what he is enjoying.
I was expecting a time when he could no longer answer the letters himself because of so many commitments and scheduling,plus the guy needs SOME time just for himself.
I do hope he can continue to write the newsletters"himself" even if someone else has to send them to fans.

I think David yates will do very good at directing the 5th Harry Potter film. The actors of the film seem to think so atleast. I can't wait how Stauton portrays Umbridge. That should be a awesome to see.
