Turn on A&E -- Biography is running a bit on JK Rowlings. It's really fascinating -- this woman keeps COPIOUS notes. She has the names of every student of Hogwarts, for one thing. She also has self-done pictures (very good ones, too!) of various events of the books -- Hagrid on the Gringott's cart, the bricks opening to Diagon Alley, the assorted characters ...

Also, Entertainment Weekly did a cover story on "Chamber of Secrets." Comes out Nov. 15th, with "Prisoner of Azkhaban" beginning production in early '03 for a Thanksgiving '03 release. Sadly, Chris Columbus is NOT directing (his choice), but he will be producing. It's kind of funky to think that by the time we all see Star Wars Episode III, "Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire" will be in post-production and "Harry Potter & Whatever-The-Title-Is" will be in pre-production ... (at this rate, anyway).

Speaking of which, anyone know when book five comes out?

Dude, are you serious? Do you live in a hole or something?

Also, I can't think of his name, but the Colonel from "BlackHawk Down" and the British cavalry officer from "The Patriot" will portray Lucius Malfoy. [Smile]

Black Hawk Down. Two words, despite the helicopter.

Haha! The359 is SOO out of the loop! He probably doesn't even know what MTV is! Ha! These kids today, not knowing pop culture! Or knowing, but making a funny joke on our overexposure of such culture! HAHA! Lamer.

Yes, you're right ... Black Hawk Down. I'm wrong. The357 either lives in a concrete hill or is a lamer. But not as much as Defiant, who I strongly suspect is Still Bannified.

Can we please talk about Harry Potter now?

I was joking, sheesh. It was meant to imply "who cares about Harry Potter anymore?"

The precocious brat. ;-)

Someone mind telling me why this isn't in "General Sci-fi"?
Gs/f deals with fantasy as well, as "Lord of The Rings" resides there. It should be renamed with the "fantasy"-bit added.

Apparently she's having trouble writing the fifth book. I think I heard it'll be out early next year.

Um, actually, Snay, the movie "Prisoner of Azkaban" won't be released until 2004.

Meh

It's going to take two years to do? Why? It starts filming winter of '03. That's the same time-frame they had with "Stone" and "Chamber", and they both came out that same year November.

Wraith, not only is book five finished, but book seven is finished. According to JK Rowlings on Biography last night, anyway.

Why ISN'T this in gen sci-fi? SIIIIIIMON ... !

IMDb and Coming Attractions both say the Prisoner of Azkaban will come out in 2004. I guess they're taking a year off.

I wouldn't place a lot of stock in either of those fine movie news institutions.

"Prisoner of Azkaban" begins filming in January '03, which means it'll be done by the summer and out of post-production in time for Thanksgiving '03 ... I don't see why they'd hold it for a year.

There's a difference between "has rough notes on", and "has a completed manuscript". She has been having trouble with book 5, which is why it keeps getting pushed further and further back.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Don't ask me, I didn't start it. I'm not at all certain it needs to be there. But whatever you say.
