The commercialization of Harry may be appalling to some but think about it .... here's a wonderful book (that pulled MY 8th grade son back into reading after his "book report" teachers killed his love of reading ... he stomped out of my room after finding that I had taken Book 2 to school to read to my special ed class ... which sent ME to the bookstore for another copy immediately!!!) Back to the topic.... We have this wonderful book that we can direct the kids to if they like the movie (the book's always better, hunt for the differences, etc), if they enjoy the cartoon, etc etc etc Besides, will they make seven movies? I doubt it AND that gives us the impetus to say.... oh, the movie was good but did you read what happened after that?????? Just a little positive spin .... JK deserves any funds she gets for getting MY kid back into enjoying books!!!! Jo Anne Collins, L/MS Van Buren MS Kettering OH jocollins@aol.com In response to: The Wall Street Journal (nov. 1) had a long article on the Harry Potter movie that will be made. The struggle to be chosen as director is ferocious, with Spielberg perhaps leading the pack. After a debate it was decided to keep Harry and Hogwarts in England, rather than americanizing him. To quote: "Time Warner is betting the movie will become a Hollywood franchise, complete with sequels, big TV rights, cartoon spinoffs, perennial home-video sales, theme-park rides, interactive games, and ubiquitous licensing and merchandising opportunities."
