Would be different seeing Rupert as someone else and not as Ron Weasley..looking forward to the movie, Hopefully Rupert's acting will be great just as it is in the HP movies :) i wonder when Dan's new film (December Boys) will release in the Uk?

I must admit that it's really exciting that both Driving Lessons and December Boys are coming out this year. It's something for Potter fans to look forward to in a year with no Harry Potter :)

I wanted to see that one that Allen Rickman made, it had something to do with cake. Oh, it says up top, Snow Cake. Ha, sounds pretty self exclaimatory.

I think it will be kind of weird to see the HP actors in something other than Harry Potter movies. Rupert will do a good job though, same goes for Daniel Radcliffe in his TV show
