Yet more confirmation on the

Yet more confirmation on the second movie from the Sunday Times:

Talking of follow-ups, preproduction is beginning on the second Harry Potter movie. The first, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, is being edited now and will be released in November.

Shooting on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets will begin in the early autumn with the same main cast, including Maggie Smith, Robbie Coltrane and Alan Rickman; the same director, Chris Columbus; and the same Harry. That’s Daniel Radcliffe.

Why the rush? In the book, Harry is supposed to be 11. Daniel is already 12. And the real worry is that Daniel’s voice might break as he magically ages faster than the wizard he plays.
