As far as "Goblet" goes, they're going to produce it as two different films, each roughly two and a half hours long, and release the two halves within a few months of each other (sort of like what is going on with Matrix 2 & 3).

The time it's taken her to write it, I'm not surprised...
The thing is, Goblet of Fire isn't really THAT much bigger than Prisoner of Azkaban. Look at the font sizes. POA uses the same size and spacing as the first two books, whereas GOF uses Really Spaced Out Lettering, in order to make the book look bigger.

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.

Well I loved the movie and I saw it the other day! I've got the soundtrack. I'm all totally HP since I decided to buy HP&TPS a month or a bit more ago. I've since read the rest of the books including the two little books about Quidditch and Magical Beasts.
I'm REALLY looking forward to the next book.

It wasn't really LACKING as such - it's lacking to someone who has read the book - because as ALWAYS there is SO much more in the book. They have to get the plot done in the movie in the time alotted and there's no time for more character moments like you'd see in the book.
After the first movie (when I saw it to see it - I hadn't read the books then) I did noticee that the effects in Quidditch did look a LITTLE wierd here and there - and for CoS I was really keep a close eye on the Quidditch scene... I WAS TOTALLY ENRAPTURED!! There were NO effects 'probs' in CoS AT ALL! Quidditch was fantastic and really exciting. I read where they had filmed the quidditch scenes first so they had more time to do the effects. GREAT move!
Love the movie. Soundtrack great!
WOO! Goooooooooo HARRY!

Incidentally, neither a one-part nor two-part HP:E5:HP&TGoF (Mimpower!) has had a penny spent on it by the studio yet, so it would be presumptuous to say that a two-parter has been decided-on. Speculated, certainly, but it ain't a done deal by a long shot. A writer hasn't even been signed yet.

I really have to visit this parallel dimension where the CoS novel was actually not a bit cack.

Oh dear. I saw HP: CoS twice in the first week (long story). I must say, the visuals, espically in the Chamber itself were definately much better than the book described.
I would have loved to have seen the deathday party even though it wasn't essential to the plot. But I can understand why they didn't go there. Same thing with the Weasley family's garden gnomes.
However, the one point that really bugged me was at the very end when Herminoe runs into the room and she and Ron just kinda...stop short of hugging each other. It seems someone was jumping the gun at hinting what later books (specifically the 4th one) will hint at. Also, I think Herminoe and Ron should really fight more-- like in the books. But that should come about in the 3rd one for sure.
Overall, I liked this movie loads more than the 1st one. And cannot wait for the next movie-- and book! Im actually looking forward to that book much, much, more.

Just finished the ultrashort "Chamber of Secrets" PC-game, downloaded it from 3dgamers.com. Great easy kid's game, a must-buy for little nephews and stough. The controls felt great, spellcasting is rather funny. The big jellybeans you collect, although pointless except for gathering a score, are pretty. :-)
