Hi K,
I agree. Manoj is a fantastic director but he's his own man. I can not 
begin to imagine what he's do to HP to make it something he'd be 
interested in doing. The internal logic of HP (what plot lines have to 
be served, how to keep characters that are necessary) all that would be 
clear by 7, but how could he limit himself to the story before him? His 
overwhelming creative genius would have to be served and I am very gun-
shy of another auteur taking up Harry. The temprement of a director has 
to match the material. Peter Jackson took lots of liberties with LOTR 
but he seemed to have a feel for what the story was about, the heart of 
it. I would see someone with that much love for Harry do the last 2 
films.
