Harry Potter on Rosie (?maybe a spoiler?)

[maginker at yahoo.com]

Hello everyone.  I don't know how many of you saw The Rosie O'Donnall 
Show yesterday, but it was a full hour with the cast of Harry Potter.

There was something that I wondered about.  I think that we all know 
from interviews he has given the JK told Robie Coltrain (?sp) several 
things about his character.  Rosie asked Richard Harris, how he got 
the part, he said that he had initially turned it dowm.  And the 
reason was that they wanted him to commit to all 7 movies.  He did 
not want to do that because of his age, but he agreed to do the 
movies after a call from his granddaughter.  Then he asked if the 
same was for Robie Coltrain, Robie never really answered the 
question, but implied that he did not have to commit to all of the 
movies.  Richard said that Robie must have had a better agent than he 
did.  But I was wondering if the reason he did not have to commit to 
all 7 movies, is because Hagrid won't be in all 7 books, but 
Dumbledore will be.  I could just be taking things out of context, 
and reading way to much into this, but had heard a long time ago, 
that all of the adult actors had to agree to all movies.

Just thought I would throw that out there.
