For those interested in such things:
I see Ursula Leguins trilogy which became the Earthsea quartet that predates Rowlings work, is coming to the big screen in the form of a animated Japanese feature Tales from Earthsea (which draws from the 3rd and 4th books). I believe there was a TVM done a short time back in the US on the earlier book(s).

Here's hoping for decent live action cinema version of this series which to me is far more original and superior to the adventures of young Harry.
