It's interesting that you've said this since I said virtually the 
same thing to my sister this morning when she asked me if I thought 
OoP would work as a movie.

I do love DR, really, and I hope to see him grow as an actor under 
A. Cuaron's direction, so I'm not prepared to totally write him 
off.  That said, all three kids playing the trio will really have to 
rise well above their present performances to pull this one off.  At 
the moment though, I'm not optimistic.

I'm even more pessimistic about the screenplay, however.  Do we have 
to have Kloves forever?  Doesn't he want to do something *else*?

Jo S., who is glad Derannimer said it first, but still feels guilty 
for thinking these thoughts
