So where to now for Harry Potter? Two words people: Grange Hill.
Oh c'mon, surely Harry Potter would work fantastically as a school drama? 8-12 1 hour episodes for each book, some of the minor characters and unnecessary subplots can get a proper fleshing out, the teenage angst can be ramped up, and, most importantly, J K Rowling gets another great wodge of cash. Obviously it's a little early to be starting such a project now, but give it another 10 years HP the series will be on our small screens.
I forgot to mention in my Order of the Phoenix review that prior to the movie was a trailer for The Golden Compass, which is actually The Northern Lights by Philip Pullman renamed. You can see the trailer at the film's website. As I am a fan of the books I'm reasonably excited by the movie, but I'm guessing they're going to have to tone down some of the content for the international audience. For international audience read: America, and for content read: anything about overthrowing God and the Church. Good luck getting that stuff through, guys.

Overthrowing God and the Church you say? This sounds like something my girls should be reading. Would this be the Subtle Knife and it's ilk?
Yes, that's the monkey.
Daniel Craig and Eva Green in the same film again? Even if it wasn't a film version of one of my favourite books I would so be there. Even if it didn't have talking armoured polar bears. Honest.
Does this mean Daniel Craig is the new Christian Bale?
I didn't notice Eva Green on the cast list. For some reason I found her accent really distracting in Casino Royale (I assume because she was covering up her normal accent with an accent she hadn't quite cracked). Still, nice to see a bit of totty in the film.
Craig is too old to be the new Christian Bale, silly. Am I only allowed to have one Ridiculously Unobtainable Object of Remote Affection now? I don't recall being consulted, in accordance with CEWU vs Telecom, on that one...
Green plays Serafina. I am stoked.
