HP as a play?

Yes it was me!  As a budding thespian at hear I just HAD to comment 
on this!  HP would be GREAT on the stage...  

I must go back to one of my favourite plays to illustrate my ideas.  
The Lion King was actually a pretty good Disney movie, one of my favs 
at least, anyway it was much better on stage.  I was suprised, in 
fact, at just how good it was.

Now TLK was very stylized, using both the human aspect of the actors 
as well as the amimal themes of the costumes to convey the story.  
However most of the HP characters are human so that's not really the 
issue. It's just that I think the creative mind can put anything on 
stage (and I'm using Julie Taymor and TLK as an example).  If they 
had the right people, both writer and composers, directors, actors, 
(wouldn't I love to try out) producers etc...the end result would be 
fantastic!

Another thing about this is whether or not you're talking about a 
musical as opposed to a play.  HP would be a good musical to....

I can see it now.

As Harry is growing up at the beggining of PS (NOT SS please) he 
comes out and sings...

It's the hardknock life for me,
It's the hardknock life for me,
Uncle Vernon, 
He's so mean,
And that git Dudley,
He's not lean,
It's the Harknock life!

or in CoS TR could sing "Memories" you know from Cats...

"...Let the Memory live again."

OR erm, you're all probably really tired of this post...

BUT I'll keep thinking about how to stage Quidditch.
