First comment, I'm wondering how many people saw the Devon Murray
interview at the premier of Chamber of Secrets?

I was very impressed. He struck me as a very intelligent and
articulate, and very sophisticated for someone so young. Seamus in the
movies comes off as a very nice guy of average intelligence. Devon
Murray amazed me with how much greater than his character he was.

His unofficial website (devonmurray.com) said he is up for the role of
"Artemis Fowl" which is an interesting book. You can read a few pages
of the book at the Amazon.com website. ("Artemis Fowl" by Eoin Colfer)

I can see why he would want to back out of the HP movies if he's not
getting enough exposure. He was offered a role in the Leonardo
DiCaprio movie "Gangs of New York". That certainly would have been an
impressive credit to add to his resume, plus a chance to work with
some of the biggest names in Hollywood [Martin Scorsese, Daniel
Day-Lewis, Cameron Diaz, Liam Neeson (Schindler's List), ...], but he
had to turn it down because of HP movie scheduling conflicts. HP is
good as long as it moves his career forward, but if it starts holding
it back, there is not much incentive to stay.

According to his agent, he has 6 movie offers pending while he waits
to hear IF he is going to be in HP-PoA. That's a lot of opportunity to
keep on hold.

Just a few thoughts.
