Concerns about PoA and future films

I think many fans would site thru a 3+hr movie - am I right? 



I agree completely. Part of me argues that this film, and the others in the series, are being made for the fans of the books, that those groups of people are the ones who will appreciate the film more, therefore, making sense that the books should be depicted in their entirety. Then the logical part of me responds with the certain financial, time and marketing constraints of producing such films. It saddens me to know that apparently there will be no quidditch in PoA, I was really looking forward to seeing Gryffindor win the cup and the aforementioned delicious Draco moment - well said Darrin.

The fact that something as significant as quidditch has been effectively 'dropped' from PoA definately stirs concerns for the future films. Has anyone else here heard of the films being referred to the 'Harry Potter Trilogy'? I've heard this in a few places, though for the life of me I can't remember where, and it quite frightens me. The idea that WB wouldn't make all the films has always been a fear of mine. But in the same breath, I have heard whisperings of plans to make GoF into a two part film to be realesed in much the same manner that the two Matrix sequels are being released this year. Also, to help dispel rumours that PoA will be the last Potter film they make, Jason Isaacs has confirmed previously that he has been signed on for GoF. So the fear of an incomplete Harry Potter film series may end up to be groundless but others fears in regards to the production of these films quickly creep up to take it's place.

Such as the idea that they would recast characters because the actors currently playing them decided they didn't want to do it anymore. I would hate for this to happen. After only two films, I've become attached to the actors that play these characters, much like how I've become attached to the characters themselves in the books. To me, Daniel Radcliffe is Harry, just like Tom Felton is Draco. It would be awful for the cast to change part way through a series of films. 


Any other opinions on this would be greatly appreciated.



Regards,
Glory
