<<<If they are definitely going to make a GoF movie, how do you think they'll film the Second Task.  My cousin said it shouldn't be so hard because Water World pulled it off.  I've never seen Water World, so I don't know what he's talking about, but either case I think it'd hard for the kids to work underwater.  I'm sure some of it will be computer animated, but still.>>>

And now me (Odile): Actually, there are certainly ways to film underwater without being underwater:
Please bear with me while I digress to another movie for a moment...
 
You know that part at the end of Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, when Frodo is paddling away in the little canoe and Sam goes after him?  And then it looks like Sam is drowning underwater until *ta-da!* Frodo's hand appears and pulls Sam up to the surface to save him?  Well, that was done in a studio -- they just colored the lights a certain way and sat Sean Astin on a fan blowing up to look as though he really was underwater.  Anyway.  Not sure if GoF's budget is going to be anywhere near that of LOTR, but who knows?  

Odile, who is hoping that Tom Felton re-considers his fishing career and holds out for GoF.   ^_~
