[HPFGU-Movie] The Importance of Being Flint (was Re: No Quidditch??)

[LeeMunLim03 at aol.com]

My other thing that I would like to get off my chest is why do people think 
we can't persuade WB to change or to keep the same cast??  If your saying we 
can't win with a Franchise will then we will never win with that attuide!  
For Example Mcdonalds is a franchise right??  I think so I am not sure but 
they had hygiene issues and it was aired on 20/20 and they closed that 
particular mcdonalds!  Now I think we can make a difference but why do you 
say we can't when if we have our voices heard then they will bend over 
backwards for us!!    I just don't want to see harry potter go the way of 
Terminator with Arnold Scazanagger, Alien and the rest of the movies that 
have sequals!!
