Perhaps from your perspective it appeared that way, but by the time the first film was made, Jo Rowling was the most successful novelist in history. She got concessions from Hollywood Stephen King couldn't get, John Grisham couldn't get. She got director approval, for cryingoutloud! Chris Columbo had to fly to London to meet here and discuss his vision for the book. No author in history had that much juice. All the films did was make a multi-millionare a billionaire. Best, R.E.F. ---- www.crydee.com Never attribute to malice what can satisfactorily be explained away by stupidity.
