The two directors made their choices and they and we will just have to live with it. Speilburg may now or later regret his choice, but we'll never know, truly, how important a decision it was personally and what unknown personal resons he may not have chosen to share.
<BR>I am looking forward to the movie. I am looking forward to the discussions of it. What does concern me is that we all most assuredly have our own ideas of what everything should be like at Hogwarts, and with the characters. I've already heard from one person and know another, a theater manager who have seen the movie. Without going into detail, their opinions were like night and day.
<BR>Why am I writing this? I guess to express the hope that we can all share ideas, and do the usual "pick it apart" without stepping on anyone's pleasure..I've purposedly avoided the person who had the negative opinion already.

<BR>I know John has already stepped in with official reminders, so this is really
<BR>notall that pertinent. But persoanally , as corny as it sounds, I do want to "live the magic" a bit!
