GEN: Harry Potter industry

[Rayna Patton <kmv_patton@K12.MECDC.NET>]

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."
        UGH!
