And I'm one of those new members, sorry for making you repeat yourself.

When an author sells the movie rights to his/her book, he/she gives up all
input into what goes on in the movie. The contract for the sale of the
rights may make certain stipulations (in the case of the HP books, received
wisdom is that JKR contracted for a live-action movie, not a cartoon, and a
British cast), but after the contract is signed, JKR has no further right
to intervene in the movie-making.

I forget the term, but I always thought that there was a clause that could be 
put in the contracts stating that the author had input and final say in what 
happens.
