Despite the fact that PoA is almost one year from release things are beginning to come together nicely for GoF. Director Mike newell has already been appointed and announcements are beginning for the casting and plans.
It appears that Mike Newell has been offered around $1,000,000 for his position compared to Daniel Radcliffe's $3,000,000 rough payment for Chamber of Secrets. AOL Time warner is still experiencing problems in their relations and finances although Harry Potter has certainly eased it's pain for many millions, possibly billions of pounds.
There has been problems with money over the years. For example there was a time when Harry Potter was threatened and might've possibly been handed over to another film company because of Warner Bros. problems. Things are certainly easing and GoF promises to be a great film with a director of great skills and, hopefully, our three best stars.
