Ohhhhhhhh! Shyamalan (pronounced SHAH-mah-lahn) would be wonderful. I 
hvaen't seen Sixth Sense or Signs (yes, I have to rent them) but I 
HAVE seen Unbreakable and thought it was fantastic. The irony, of 
course, is that Shyamalan directed Haley Joel Osment as the kid in 
Sixth Sense...and HJO supposely was interested in being cast as Harry 
Potter. But I agree, Shyamalan would do a great job with the suspense 
and danger angles of GoF... My main concern is that GoF NOT be 
directed by Chris Columbus!! Please, for the love of all that's good 
and holy and/or HP canon... I beg of you, Warner Brothers...
