Hi, everyone. Has anyone heard that there will be a movie
based on the novel, Rowling's Harry Potter. The question is
which Harry Potter's books. All three of them? Also since
Rowling is planning on writing 7 Harry Potter, will there be
a movie for each individual books?

Steven Spielberg was slated to direct the first Harry Potter book as a
movie, however, in a late February *E* article it was reported that he has
dropped it. It is certain that the first book will be made into a film, but
who's going to do it is up for grabs. A summer 2001 release had been set.

I saw something on the tv the other night about Steven Spielburg doing a
Harry Potter movie. That is all I know. I don't know which book it will be
based on.

Someone recently asked about the upcoming Harry Potter movie. The
following info comes from one of my co-workers, who got it from a daily
e-mail news service from People Magazine. Hope this answers some
questions.

Harry Potter Gets a Dad
Harry Potter is an orphan no more. In the wake of Steven
Spielberg's passing on the prized project, Warner Bros.
announced on Tuesday that filmmaker Chris Columbus will
direct the feature film adaptation of British author
J.K. Rowling's best-selling children's book, "Harry
Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." The eagerly awaited
movie, about an 11-year-old boy with magical powers
inherited from his late parents (who happened to be
wizards), will begin shooting in England this summer and
is scheduled to be released in the summer of 2001.
Columbus's work includes the first two "Home Alone"
movies and last year's and "Mrs. Doubtfire." Warners --
which is owned by Time Warner, PEOPLE's parent company
-- has optioned the first four of what will ultimately
be seven books in the "Potter" series (the fourth book
is due out this July) and already has a sequel to this
first film in the works.
