Thanks so much for the link, Ryan. The interview is great, I feel so 
relieved, it seems they've got a good screenwriter, who has the right 
feel for the stories. Here's one thing he said:

'I said to one of (the execs) in the first meeting, I said, "Look. I 
don't want to be involved with this unless you share my feelings. The 
effects have to be great, all that stuff, but this movie will live 
and die on these kids. If we follow these kids, then the movie's 
going to work, but it would have to be about the character of these 
kids, Harry in particular, and it can't just be a roller coaster ride 
because it'll disappoint everybody that knows the book." '

And Jo seems to have enjoyed his script. Oh, and now, he's writing 
CoS.
My hopes have gone right up!
