The fifth film is going to be a challenge to condense into a movie, because there is no main plot, just a lot of subplots. Every character from the first 4 books comes back at some point and the book is just enormous. I heard Cuaron is in talks to come back for film5, and that Christopher Columbus will probably do film7 which would be a nice touch. I'm not worried about 4 being adapted properly, when I read the book I felt like JK Rowling was aware that the movies were in the works and wrote that one accordingly, it feels more like a movie then the other books, especially the first chapter. It is longer but its mostly just taking a longer time to explain things, in terms of content book 4 is only 5-10% longer then book3 in my opinion, she just used more words to explain it (which made it a less enjoyable read)

But book5 is jammed packed, its going to be a real challenge to turn that into any sort of a workable movie. Does anyone else think Judi Dench should play professor Umbridge?

i have a teacher at school which would make such a good umbridge it is sccary. she is exactly like her in every way, same voice, same attatude, speaks to ppl like they are 5, everything.
