Steven Spielberg disses the movie

I think there is some of the 'fox and sour grapes' in his comments, 
but also it's been reported that he balked at allowing J. K. Rowling 
so much input overriding his own interpretation.  Everyone's touched 
on some of the factors I think, but the first thing I thought of way 
back when his name was first mentioned was how was he going to work 
with Rowling. 

It's coming back to me -- I'll have to look it up, but isn't there a 
news report way back somewhere where Rowling dissed Spielberg and
then did a small sort of "Oops! I hope I don't get sued"? Does anyone 
else remember that? I can't remember where or when or in what format
I saw it but it made an impression on me.
