Me:

Wishful thinking.  OOP and GOF can't be done at the same time.  Maybe 
if Steve (or someone else) rushed with an OOP screenplay.  But the 
action takes place in too many different places.  In LOTR, just about 
everything could be used more than once.  You film the beginning in 
Hobbiton and the end in Hobbiton, all the same set.  blah blah blah.

If in book 6, most of the action takes place again at 12GP (for some 
reason), simultaneous filming of OOP and HP6 would be possible.  I 
personally think they should do it.
