Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

But yeah, that letter/e-mail whatever is pretty stupid since they are already going into the 5th film. lol.
But just in case, I really really hope they keep the same cast going untill the end. That would totally rock. :8)

I don't think they've even finished casting for OotP yet, why would they be doing HBP?
It sounds as though fans have been smart enough to contact people though.

that's just stupid. why would they be casting people for the sexth movie if they haven't even started filming the fifth movie? they're probably working on the first draft of the sixth movie right now. whoever came up with this really has no life.
