Oscar Prospects: Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay are not out-
of-reach. Should be a contender for Best Art Direction, Best Visual 
Effects, Best Sound, Best Makeup, Best Sound Effects Editing and Best 
Costume Design. 

I heartily agree that this movie will very likely be nominated for some,
if not all of these.  I'm surprised, however, that you didn't think it
would get nominated for Best Original Score -- Hollywood LOVES John
Williams.  (So do I -- I have a tendency to whistle the opening theme at
work, which confuses the heck out of my coworkers, who don't recognize
it!)  On the Best Picture front, I'd say it has a strong chance; I can't
think of many other movies this year that compare with HPSS in terms of
quality, except for "Shrek" and "Monsters, Inc."  Although since we have
yet to see "Lord of the Rings," that will probably be HP's biggest rival
for the crown.

I also think it may receive a nomination for Best Supporting Actor, most
likely for Robbie Coltrane or possibly even for Rupert Grint.  (Sorry,
Snapefans -- I love Alan Rickman but he just didn't have enough to do for
an Oscar nod.)  I'd be utterly tickled to see Daniel Radcliffe get
nominated for Best Actor, and Emma Watson for Best Supporting Actress,
but with Hollywood the way it is I'm not really holding my breath.
