Maximise

Hi all

Not sure if this list is the most appropriate for this... so sorry in 
advance mods if it's not.

As many of you will know... The Times newspaper has today (Sunday 7th 
October 2001) published a special Harry Potter issue of their Sunday 
Times Magazine.

I'm reading it now... sat here at work (don't tell the boss!).

One thing that has grabbed my interest, though I'm only on the 4th 
page, is that Warner and AOL see Harry Potter as being the 
cornerstone of their company.   Is this worrying?  Probably not... as 
HP the Movie is going to make loads... unless they get it wrong.  
But, and sorry to the americans who like things americanised, David 
Heyman is quoted as saying "They want to maximise it, not to 
Americanise it", which is great, as with luck they will have stuck to 
the origional storyline as much as possible.

We can but hope!

Nick
