I say this because as good as CoS was, it was a poorly cut/edited 
movie with substandard sound (did you really think Dobby was crying 
loudly at Privet Drive?) and several scenes where the direction was 
obviously at fault in how the actors played the part (consider Wood's 
reaction to the match being cancelled -- underplayed?). I suspect 
that this had something to do with the change of directors.

Me: But it was Columbus who directed CoS, there was no change in 
directors until PoA, so the only person to blame (re direction) is 
him.

If PoA fails, no matter how good GoF turns out (and let's be real, if 
PoA fails there'll be less money in making GoF) it won't do as well 
and the 'magic' will seem to be over.

Me: I don't think PoA will fail to make money, in fact I think it's 
one of the better bks in the series (to date). I mean if any of the 
additional HP movies make 600 million its still a hit – doing much 
better than many movies out there. 

On the other hand, if the man who must have some influence over the 
young actors keeps saying maybe they won't want to return perhaps 
they'll begin to prick at the idea themselves, and let's face it a 
Harry Potter movie without the Trio just won't work.

Me: I don't honestly believe that Columbus has that much influence 
over the kids, they may ask his opinion but I think it's their 
families who will help them decided if they will carry on (Dan has 
said he will be around for #4), CC was voicing his opinion when he 
stated that the kids should stop after #3 - I think he was also doing 
this b/c he wanted to let fans know that sometime down the line the 
cast may change & that we should be ready for it.
