	I don't believe anything on Ain't It Cool News. EDIT: I checked on jwfan.net and they linked to this. Looks like Williams did mention it. jwfan.net posted: Williams Might be Back for Last 'Potter' Film Wednesday, 22 August 2007 According to a report from yesterday's lecture at the Berkshire Museum, when asked if he was hoping to score the last Harry Potter film, Williams "said with confidence that he thinks he will be back for the last Harry Potter movie, and then added that he hopes he is". The film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is expected to be released in 2010. -----signature----- #1 on iTunes Most Played: R.E.M.

	This isn't at all confirmed. All that is stated is that Williams wants to return, not that he will. For what it's worth, I really hope Nicholas Hooper gets a shot at Half-Blood Prince and does good with it... But only Williams will be able to do Deathly Hallows justice. Here's hoping that he does indeed score it. -----signature----- My shoes are too tight, and I have forgotten how to dance.

	That's why it says Williams "might" be back. -----signature----- #1 on iTunes Most Played: R.E.M. "Imitation of Life" #1 on iTunes Film Scores: Harry Potter "A Window to the Past" * * * * * * "And therefore blah blah blah your mom..."

	I posted as you were editing... Hence, didn't see the "might". -----signature----- My shoes are too tight, and I have forgotten how to dance.

	I've seen this popping up on so many websites and I just find it ridiculous. While I'm sure the guy who originally talked with Williams and posted this news at FSM wasn't trying to start any rumors, his original wording makes it sound like Williams said, "I'll be back for the final film... or at least I hope I will." This isn't the way many sites are reporting it. I honestly believe that the producers will let the director of the film choose whoever the want. Unless Williams has any kind of inside information (which he may) I don't think there is any reason to take what he said too seriously. It would be great if he came back and gave us something on par with PoA (however difficult that would be), but I wouldn't get my hopes up. EDIT: To clarify what many sites are posting, Williams did not say this during the lecture, but to one specific fan while he was getting an autograph. Here is the person who talked with Williams

	Well at least Williams would like to do the final Harry Potter film. That's always a good sign. But right now he's 75 years old and that movie probably won't be ready for him to score until he's 78. Of course film composers have been known to work into their 80's if they're able and willing. It's sad to think that we've got (if we're really lucky) about 10 more years left with Mr. Williams in terms of new scores. Time flies... -----signature----- I am from the corrupt land of Illinois

	Right now it's just a rumor that's spreading very quickly and has been taken out of its original context. Don't get your hopes up until there is something officially announced. EDIT: Sci Fi Wire links to the original message board posting, but they obviously didn't read it. In their news report they state, "John Williams ... told an audience at the Berkshire Museum in Massachusetts that he will return to the franchise to score the proposed last movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." This is obviously not what the guy on the message board posted. Shouldn't a site posting "news" at least read their own source?

	It's not really a rumor, if Williams himself said he would like to come back. That is fact. Does it mean that it's 100% sure that Williams will score the film? No of course not, but it's certainly good news to me. Warner Brothers would be the stupidest studio on the planet if they didn't get him to do the score that he would like to do. Hell they should ask him to score the sixth film too. -----signature----- #1 on iTunes Most Played: R.E.M.

	Right, the part about Williams wanting to come back isn't a rumor, but the way it's being reported and taken out of context on many sites almost makes it a rumor. And we all know where I stand on Hooper scoring film six, haha, so I'll just leave it at that.

	But seriously if the choice were between Williams and Hooper scoring HBP would you honestly choose Hooper? -----signature----- #1 on iTunes Most Played: R.E.M. "Imitation of Life" #1 on iTunes Film Scores: Harry Potter "A Window to the Past" * * * * * * "And therefore blah blah blah your mom..."

	I would. The more I hear the score to OotP, the more impressed I am. I'd like to see Hooper given another go. Williams needs to do the last one though. -----signature----- My shoes are too tight, and I have forgotten how to dance.
