Saruman to become Dumbledore' Christopher Lee continues to take on epicly cool character parts!

Harry here, like usual I don't know the literary accuracy of casting someone in a Harry Potter film, I haven't read the books, but I think it is fairly interesting to replace the recently departed Richard Harris in the HARRY POTTER films with Christopher Lee, who has become the coolest old school actor to be reborn in cinemas near you and me. Now, I have heard that these Potter books are supposed to get darker as they go forward, and I don't know if Dumbledore will continually be the sweet ol wizard that Harris played him in the first film. However, with Alfonso Cuaron directing and Christopher Lee aboard... that fascinates me. I just watched the LOTR FOTR EE tonight again and watching Christopher Lee nail Saruman again just makes me hungry to watch double feature dvd of THE OBLONG BOX and SCREAM AND SCREAM AGAIN that I recently acquired! Christopher Lee rules and I love all these new generations of fans becoming aware of him... Fills my heart with glee! Here's the story...

Hey Harry.

Read the site for a few years now. Still as good as ever.

trawling through the English papers (and thier web sites), found this snippet about Christopher Lee replacing Richard Harris on HP3 Prisoner of Azkabahn.

Then there's this tidbit about riding lessons... Here ya go...

Harry,

Long time reader, first time writer etc.

A friend of mine takes riding lessons here in the UK. Specifically a town called Chelmsford in Essex.

One of the instructors let slip that Daniel Radcliffe's stunt double is practising bare-back riding for the filming of the next Harry Potter film - Prisoner of Azakaban, presumably for the scenes with the Centaurs.

If you do publish this info, just call me Mikeymoo

Thanks a lot
