The Hermione story is more rumor than fact - though we can't know anything specific until Emma Watson actually signs the contract.  But the BBC presents a much happier story:

"A spokesperson for Warner Bros., who make the films, told Newsround: "We're extremely confident that Emma will be back for films six and seven."

And while doing interviews for the fifth potter film Emma has said she's sure she will film all seven stories."

I picture the Warner Brothers guy tapping his finger tips together like Mr. Burns.  I interpret him as saying they've dealt with waaay tougher customers than this girl with way less at stake.</description></item><item><title>Beware the useful hack</title><link>http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/03/21/97178.aspx#97415</link><pubDate>Thu, 22 Mar 2007 00:59:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:97415</guid><dc:creator>Don Tuite, California</dc:creator><description>Re: The emerging media ecosystem."  Maybe you or a reader can find a graphic on how content creaters who don't have day jobs get paid. I know about click throughs and click to opens, and it sounds like snakeoil to me.  I can't believe that ad buyers aren't eager to find definitive handles, not just on demographics, but of efficacy.</description></item><item><title>Beware the useful hack</title><link>http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/03/21/97178.aspx#97594</link><pubDate>Thu, 22 Mar 2007 05:50:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:97594</guid><dc:creator>Noumenon, Seattle, Wash.</dc:creator><description>Will, thanks for the image of Mr. Burns working at Warner Brothers.</description></item><item><title>Beware the useful hack</title><link>http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/03/21/97178.aspx#97887</link><pubDate>Thu, 22 Mar 2007 14:30:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:97887</guid><dc:creator>Ayana, Illinois</dc:creator><description>It took me about half an hour to complete all of the "Connect the Squares" squares. I have to admit that it was more thought provoking than the "Bloody Castle" game from back in December, but just as fun.

Now, instead of having to login to MySpace and write long paragraphs about what you *did*, you can now use Twitter and your mobile to post an APB to all of your Twitter friends about what you're *doing*.  For instance, my Twitter right now would be *posting a comment on MSNBC - W00t!* and then everyone I know would be all like "oooooooh" like those groundhogs in The Far Side.  At least, conceptually.</description></item></channel></rss>
