I think it's time for all of us who have been appalled at various 
bits of news about the film version of POA to take a deep breath and 
stand back. I certainly had my share of angst over the loss of Sean 
Biggerstaff. And shared it with a fair number of you. But at some 
point we have to accept these films as what they are, someone else's 
vision (and that's not necessarily a bad thing!!) of how HP should be 
realized on the screen. No one is going to be totally thrilled but no 
one will be totally offended either. I think we have our best shot 
yet at seeing a film that lives up to the spirit of one of the books 
with Cuaron. It will be different from Chris for sure. Rather than 
worry that the people that are being cast aren't appropriate, see 
some of Cuaron's films to decide for yourself if he's an able 
director, capable of translating a story to the screen without 
mangling characterizations.
