Yeah, that happens with me too...*sigh* ;)

I know. I saw that (The Leaky Cauldron is one of the pages I visit 
everyday). But maybe I wasn't too clear in my post. =) The 2 years 
hiatus would happen between the screening of movies 2 and 3, and 
between the filming of movies 3 and 4. In other words, the third 
movie would be filmed at the end of 2002 and only released at the end 
of 2004, while the fourth movie would be filmed at the end of 2004 
and released at the end of 2005. =) I thought that was clear when I 
said that 14 years old Ron could be played by 16 years old Rupert, 
since Ron is 14 years old in GoF. =)

I just hope we get to keep at least Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, 
Rupert Grint, Tom Felton, Robbie Coltrane, Maggie Smith and Alan 
Rickman. =)
Yeah, I know it's pratically the whole cast, but I loved the kids, 
Hagrid and McGonagall were great, and Mr. Rickman is one of my 
favorite actors! =)

Okay...Spielberg did not direct Mask of Zorro, Deep Impact, Men in 
Black and The Money Pit. He was only an executive producer in these 
movies. But we are considering him as a director for the third HP 
movie. And as a director, I have to say that I LOVED Schindler's 
List, Close Encouters of the Third Kind, Jurassic Park 1 & 2, E.T., 
and the Indiana Jones series! =)

I had the impression that Emma and Rupert wanted to do all the 
movies, especially because they are big fans of the HP books. I think 
they were only afraid if they would age well enough for the 
characters. But I'm not sure. =)

And weren't Daniel's parents worried about him doing the HP movie? Do 
you think that that will be a problem in the future?

Thank you! *does happy Snoopy dance* =)
