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

That's too bad it won't be in the US until 13 October! At this time, we have a theater that runs artsy and independent films, but by October that theater will be torn down due to crappy developments aimed at the main stream. So chances that it will show near me are now pretty much zero. Hopefully it will be released on DVD so that those of us who aren't fortunate enough to catch the theatrical run will eventually get to see it!

Good for them! It's good to see the HP stars being able to do some acting other than in HP.

Hey . . . Wait. Driving Lessons is an actual movie??? (slaps self on forehead repeatedly) I so didn't know that. . . Well, then. I'd love to see their movie, anyhting with Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe in it definately has promise (mmm, eyecandy). I also really want to see Alan Rickman's movie. He played a great depressed robot in Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

I think I would keep thinking of everyone's Harry Potter characters though. I remember whenever I see someone from friends in a movie, I am all like, her name isnt that, its Rachel. What are you talking about? There pretty much typecast as Harry Potter people, so I would have trouble thinking of them as someone different.

Oohh! Lots of Potter actors doing stuff this summer. That's a good thing since we don't get any Potter movies this year. Something to keep us going.

Awesome!
Can't wait!
Been looking forward to seeing this movie for quite some time now. Also can't wait until December Boys is released.
It's so good to see the younger actors being able to break away from the roles of HP. So many times young actors especially, get caught in the roles they established and can not move forward with their careers.
Way to go!
