I thought I read somewhere that he wanted Haley Joel Osment for Harry 
and wouldn't direct otherwise.  Sounds like we came out ahead on both 
points.  I have nothing against HJO, never having seen him in 
anything, but I'm thrilled about DR from the little I've seen of him. 
 And you don't want to get me started on the topic of Spielberg; how 
many shots of people gazing openmouthed at things can you take?  I got 
sick of it way back at Close Encounters...all in all, Spielberg is one 
of those very frustrating artists to me, someone whose talent is great 
but who puts it in the service of a shallow vision (no, I'm not 
including Schindler, which I haven't seen).  Unlike JKR!
