In the review, Ebert said:

Am I the only one a bit creeped out by this 60 year old movie reviewer calling a 13 year old 8th grader a babe?
Yes, there was discussion about this on one of the movie newsgroups. And she actually just turned 12 this year. You could definitely say she's a "pretty" young girl, but a babe? *shudder* Very unsettling, especially considering the source.

I really liked this movie.

I liked it as well. They've really struck gold with the setting and the cast. Pity about Harris, though. I was disappointed we didn't get to see more tension between Harry and Draco (I haven't read any of the books, so I don't know how much the book had, but Tom Felton's Malfoy is a fantastic foil for Harry on film).

And kudos to Columbus and his visual effects team for the brilliant characterization of Dobby. He could have easily been another Jar Jar Binks, but as annoying as he was you couldn't help but both pity him as well as be fascinated by what secrets he knew. Nice job.

I'm sure he can fit two movies into his schedule if he wants.
Only if Brian Singer is going to take the X-Men production to the UK. Otherwise, Patrick Stewart is going to log a lot of frequent flyer miles. From what I've learned it takes 11 months to shoot the last HP film.

Well, first you'd have to look at when the films get made. It's very possible X-Men 3 will be made before Harry Potter 4. It will be another two years at least till Harry Potter 3 comes out. Also, even though the production period for the movies may be long, Patrick Steward's role will not be that big. So, there very well could be time to film them both at the same time.

And when they cast for the fourth one they have to have Patrick Stewart as Mad Eye Moony.

Nah. They have to have Bob Hoskins as Moony. He can be crude, creepy, and funny at the same time, and is build right too. Patrick Stewart is too genteel to play mad-eye.

I think Moody needs to be intense which Stewart can do. Hoskins is a good choice, but I still think Stewart fits the bil much better.
