Did everyone catch ABC's Sunday night of commercials, occasionally interrupted by Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone? (I kid you not; there were commercial breaks every ten minutes.) The perpetual breaks were made bearable by other breaks with Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson talking about the filming of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which opens June 4. Emma Watson is turning into a real heartbreaker! In any case, not only were filming scenes shown, but there was a longer version of the trailer that has been on Warner Brothers' website. Everything looks super, especially the CGI work on Buckbeak the hippogriff.

They also showed previews of tomorrow night's showing of the Disney film of Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time, which also looks very good. As long as they keep the spirit of the novel, I'll be happy, and don't turn it into a simple-minded lecture as was done with Disney's version of L'Engle's A Ring of Endless Light.
