Awww… It would have been awesome though!

Thanks for that answer! I know Spielberg is a great director, but I couldn’t stand the tought that he would direct HP! It wouldn’t be right..

If Alfonso Cauron directs it I’ll boycott it.

I didn’t know Daniel Radcliffe was privy to director negotiation info.

Spielberg is a fantastic director, but just isn’t right for Harry Potter. I personally am 100% team Alfonso :D Though I think there’s no doubt that it will be Yates who finishes off the series.

@amy: If Yates makes another mistakes (like he did with OOTP) he won’t be in DH. GO ALFONSO!!!

Okay, don’t know what happened up there but I was just saying that seeing as how Dan would have to work a lot ! with whatever director is chosen, he is more likely to be given a heads up. That said, Dan has misled us before and not said anything, and he knows he cannot spill the beans until WB is good and ready. Stopping gossip however is another thing.

The other thing is that WB is not likely to pay Spielberg the kind of money he would demand as they don’t really need him. The HP set has been described as a well oiled machine and a young, less experienced but fresher director would be well backed up.

I didn’t know there was even a rumour! I remember there was fanciful thinking of him directing and also Peter Jackson. It would have been great if Spielberg directed. Jaws is my all-time greatest movie. If Spielberg can be the master he was then, we would have a great Deathly Hallows. But anyway, I like all the directors we had so far, so anyone of them is cool with me, yes even Christopher Columbus!!! Shyamalan was also in contention, wasnt he? Is he still?

I am not sure how this fits in with the BAFTAs, but as Steven is no longer doing the Olympics because of Darfur, I would imagine it has occurred to more than one journalist that this frees him up for the Harry Potter movies. I suspect however that Dan’s answer means that either someone else is slated to direct, or he expects to know soon after someone is picked and before it is made public.

I dont care who directs DH as long as it is not that horrible director Alfonso Cauron. He is the worse director ever and he would make DH not even worth seeing.

Alfonso Cauron is the worse director of all time he needs to quit.

I can not wait for Hp

Yay Dan.

Alfonso is the worse dir of all time man he’s bad.

yea
