Kid-Lit Juggernaut Continues Conquest of Realm

Determined to crank out as many Harry Potter films as possible before the lead actors have mid-life crises, Warner Brothers has announced casting for the sixth installment. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will add Jim Broadbent and Helen McCrory to the franchise's collection of Notable Brits, as well as introducing four new child actors (all of whom, unlike Daniel Radcliffe et al, are still actually children). David Yates of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix fame will return as director, dashing our dreams of Alfonso Cuaron coming back to the fold. The film is slated for November 2008 and is projected to make fourteen hundred bazillion dollars on opening weekend. — Gwynne Watkins
