Warner Bros. Picks Columbus to Direct First 'Harry Potter'
After considering a list of candidates that included Robert Zemeckis, Brad Silberling and Terry Gilliam--and being turned down by Steven Spielberg--Warner Bros. has signed "Home Alone" director Chris Columbus to take the reins on "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," which is already shaping up to be the event film of summer 2001.
Speaking from Scotland where he is meeting with Potter creator J.K. Rowling, Columbus said he was "incredibly excited" about directing the first film of a Potter book. "My oldest daughter, Eleanor, who is 10, got me into the books over a year ago. Between my four kids and all their friends, I've heard a lot about what this movie should be and how I could ruin it if I cut this or that scene. I won't let anyone down. It will be a faithful adaptation."

Can't wait for this! I adore the book so much and think it would make a great film! I love the series and I just finished reading the Goblet of Fire which came out in July. I hope Christopher Columbus will do the books justice, because I loved Home Alone! Sure, I would've preferred another director, but I really have faith in the movie. Who do you think will get the lead parts? I can't wait to see who they pick as Harry and I hope they don't screw up the casting. P.S. can't wait for Book 5, does anyone know when it's coming out? I'm glad Harry Potter is such a phenomenon because the books are great

I can't wait! I hope it makes a decent amount of money.
Can they possible make all the books films?
Mysterious thing time.
Well, these films are gonna suck. Clearly these idiots have no respect for the source material if they couldn't even be bothered to find someone with the RIGHT COLORED EYES.
They're going to make 8 movies out of 7 books.
The 4th movie is going to suck hard. But David Yates is coming afterwards to save the whole saga
This is false.
