I don't have a clue who jferer is but he is obviously right on this
one. Harry Potter should be animated and Hayao Miyazaki is the one to
do it.

If you have never seen Princess Mononoke (and based on the box office
results that's almost all of you) then you have missed what is arguably
the finest animated movie of all time. We're not talking the cliched
Disney features or the Disney Wannabes much less Pokemon (in my opinion
death is too good for whoever did Pokemon). Princess Mononoke is on a
scale with the finest animation of the Fantasias but with a rich complex
story line.

(As for Godzilla, I'll take the original Japanese Godzillas over the
American version in a heartbeat.)

Perhaps this is a whole new string. What movies to watch while waiting
for the Harry Potter Movie.

I heartedly suggest Princess Mononoke.

A less heart felt recommendation is that you see one Chris Columbus's
early movies, Goonies. (Kids searching for pirate treasure in a cave
lined with traps that would intimidate Indiana Jones.) Of all his films,
I think it's probably the closest to what the Harry Potter movie will
end up looking like. (I can't tell you how I'm looking forward to the
big song and dance production number to "Its a Hard Knock Life" from
Annie. Of course, they'll come up with a different song but...)
