Time Magazine..which has annoyed me with its treatment of recent events in 
the U.S. -- actually has a good story


Excerpt
Rowling also had a hand in choosing most of the adult cast members. She 
specifically requested Coltrane. Others, like Richard Harris as Dumbledore, 
Maggie Smith as Professor McGonagall and Alan Rickman as Professor Snape came 
straight from a wish list of actors that Rowling provided the producers. She 
gave Rickman and Coltrane precious bits of information about their 
characters' futures. "There's an awful lot revealed about Hagrid in book 
five," says Coltrane, "and Jo thought it was important for me to know." Like 
what? "I could tell you," says Coltrane, "but then you'd have to die."


And another

The PG-rated Sorcerer's Stone is designed for kids ages six and older, but 
Rowling's books do get scarier. They also get longer. Columbus has already 
come up with a strategy for the very thick Goblet of Fire, which could hit 
screens in 2004. "I think it has to be two movies," he says. "We could shoot 
a four- or five-hour version, release part one at Thanksgiving and part two 
at Christmas." Otherwise, Columbus is keeping mum on his Potter plans, and a 
veil of secrecy is descending on the second movie. On Columbus' office wall 
at Leavesden, he has tacked up renderings and scene sketches from Chamber of 
Secrets. He kindly asks the visiting journalist to ignore them. Too late. 
It's a car--a drawing of the magically souped-up Ford Anglia that carries 
Harry and Ron to their second year at Hogwarts. It's turquoise, just as 
Rowling described it, and already in flight.
