AU stands for "Alternate Universe". In AU fics, things happen that are clearly contrary to what we already know of Harry Potter canon (ie, the official books). An example of an AU fic would be a fic where Hermione was put in the Chamber instead of Ginny, and Ron's mom was Bellatrix Black. Things like that.
Movie contracts: The three main actors are signed on for Goblet of Fire. NO ONE, not even a director, is signed on for Order of the Phoenix. While I'm positive they'll make it, there has been no real confirmation that they'll make it. They have to renegotiate contracts if they want to keep the same actors. There has been much speculation on this issue, both positive (that they'll keep the actors) and negative (that they'll dump them). Personally, I think they'd be crazy to get new actors, but you can't force anyone to sign a contract. So there ya go.
