If that *did* happen, that'd be everyone's worst nightmare. Lucas will be mobbed and scolded for scrapping the originals -- there's no way to replace them with the SE. Sure the digital upgrade and newest technology have done some good in the SE, but it's not the same not having the orignals because that's exactly what us original fans first saw when they were released in theatres. *smh*
It's been interesting having read all 5 books and seen the first 2 HP films. I'm frankly impressed with how the production crew and directors managed to maintain its core of the storyline in the book and captured on film. Sure there were quite a few changes, but done well to change over to the next scene without much confusion. I certainly am looking forward to seeing the Prisoner of Azkaban film. Hope it'll be just as good as the last 2. Here's hoping. The trailer does make it look great...I'm just hoping it's as good as it's showing in trailers.
