No fair, why are we later? So not cool! I just don't understand why we have to wait for things. Oh thats right, so they can 'fix' the things that some of us don't understand, like slang. Has to be "americanized".
Well, I am not stupid. Leave it alone!

How do these kids have time to film more than one movie at a time? Isn't Dan Radcliffe in another movie coming out soon, too?

I would give anything to see Driving Lessons right now. ANYTHING!!! I can't wait until it comes out on DVD, I just can't wait. I wish I lived in the UK, then I would be able to see it, and maybe get a picture with Rupert. If I did, I would just die.
I can't wait until October 13th to see it!!! That means that the DVD is going to come out like 6 months later, next year. I just can't wait that long!!!!!

I wish I could Driving Lesssons!! It sounds like a really good movie, plus Rupurt plays in it! hah, but the different role is good to see, so that others can see him as someone other than just Ron.

Yeah, I didn't like his hair there. It's much better longer and the style he has it in now. Both are great! I can't believe the move is coming out in South America in 2007. Why so darned long?!!

It will be interesting to see Rupert playing a character other than Ron. He is a very talented actor, but I wonder if maybe the trio of actors will be unfortunate victims of type-casting.
