You might want to look at what director Mike Newell is planning on doing to your favorite warlock:

Newell: 'Children Are Violent and Corrupt'

Director Mike Newell is using his forthcoming movie Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire to vent his seething mistrust of children. The 63-year-old film-maker is determined to obliterate any sense of false innocence in the magical tale, as he insists kids should be depicted in a more truthful light - as bloodthirsty maniacs. He says, "I was very anxious to break the franchise out of this goody-two-shoes feel. It's my view that children are violent, dirty, corrupt anarchists. Just adults-in-waiting basically."

If that's true, that man is awesome.

It should be intersting...

Am only on P. 100 in the book but sense many will die at the hand of the dark wizard.  I hope the movie doesn't depict kids as bad, they have enough of a challenge growing up in this world.

knowing how involved j k rowling has been in the development of all of the movies i can't imagine that she would allow that to happen.  it's ridiculous.

My sentiments exactly !

If he despises kids so much then why get involved in a movie where kids are the central characters ???


I get the feeling he probably didn't mean it exactly like that because like kairi747 said I doubt Rowling would have let him work on the movie if he truely felt like that.
