...utter awe, I stood inside the concert auditorium for a good ten minutes after the show. I then proceeded to collect the silver confetti lying on the stage in front of me. In silence, teddy-bear in hand, I walked towards the T, trying to avoid a flood of tears. They came anyway. I--a Harvard student (a premed for that matter!)--am a teenybopper.

British producer David Heyman saw a blurb on The Sorcerer's Stone shortly after its British publication but before the book became a smash. He brought the project to Warner Bros. (like TIME, owned by Time Warner), which optioned the book. The plan is for a live-action film, with Harry played as a British schoolboy. A first script, by Steven Kloves, who wrote and directed The Fabulous Baker Boys, is due by the end of the year...
