He must lead cast and crew through the grueling 150-day, 7-a.m.-to-midnight production schedule, slated to finish at the end of January. This afternoon, they are filming in Hengdian TV & Movie City - a local entrepreneur's attempt to build a Hollywood of the East, about a three-hour drive from the historic city of Hangzhou.

At the Book People bookstore in Austin, Texas, three young Harry wannabes were mesmerized by excitement as they claimed their copies of the fourth installment in J.K. Rowling's magical series.
