Talking Harry Potter - POA countdown thread

Prisoner of Azkaban is opening in less than a month (June 4th). I saw some previews for it during an ABC screening last night. It looks really good/well done in comparison to the first 2.

Anyone else excited?
And does anyone else know when book 6 is coming out?

I'm so excited! POA is my favorite book of the series, and it looks like the film adaptation is going to be good.

I am so excited for this movie!!1 I can't wait. It's taken far too long.

I think this one is different partly because it wasn't directed by Chris Columbus.

and no Richard Harrison to be Albus Dumbledore!

I love the HP series. The second movie was so much better than the first, I can only hope for the improvement with book 3.

I know there is a new actor for Dumbledore. For some reason I thought it was going to be Sir Ian, but I was watching the previews last night, and it wasn't... it was some other guy. Where the heck did I hear that rumor?

That's a very old rumor. The new actor was announced months and months ago.
Dumbeldore will be played by Michael Gambon.

I heard that they just casted a girl to play Harry's first girlfriend, Cho Chang. Her name's Katie Leung and she's from Scotland.

Eek! I'm so excited I can't believe it's less than a month away!

I've heard the same rumour about September, but I'm not going to get my hopes up!

AHHH!!!

I love Harry Potter, and PoA is one of my favorite of the books!

I think Cuaron is going to do a great job with the movie!

Do any of y'all ever go to www.fictionalley.com? I do!

I can't wait!!!!!!!!!

I'm so glad that my friend is the manager of a movie theater. We're going to watch it, kid-free, at midnight June 3rd-4th. And on a side note, my roommate's younger brother is going to Harry Potter camp this summer. They get sorted and all! How cool is that?!?!?!

link doesn't work...
And I thought that Cho wasn't going to make an appearance until the 4th movie. Again... probably rumors. Oh well...

And about the 6th book. *sigh* Oh well, I have a few other books to read this summer/fall anyway.
