Columbus Sets Sail for America // OotP ETA June '03

[Petra Pan]

In case you haven't heard, according to today's Daily
Variety, Chris Columbus will definitely NOT be directing
PoA.  Reportedly, Columbus wants to bring his family home.

Being considered for the director's chair: 

- Alfonso Cuaron (loved his "A Little Princess"
(1995)...also directed "Y Tu Mam Tambin," "Great
Expectations" (1998), "Fallen Angels" TV Series, "Slo Con
Tu Pareja" aka "Love in the Time of Hysteria"); 

- Callie Khouri (wrote scripts of "Divine Secrets of the
Ya-Ya Sisterhood," "Something to Talk About," and "Thelma &
Louise."  Of these, she directed "Ya-Ya Sisterhood."); and 

- Ken Branagh, Gilderoy himself.

Also mentioned: "...Rowling has told her publishers she
needs more time to finish [OotP], prompting Scholastic to
assure antsy shareholders they can expect the book by June
2003."

That's more than a year away!!!
