'Harry Potter 4' Is 'Most Expensive Movie Ever'

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - The boy wizard Harry Potter is in good company.

"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" will reportedly hold the title of "most expensive movie ever made," according to British news sources. The fourth installment of the fantasy series based on the best-selling books by J.K. Rowling will join the ranks of previous "most expensive" title holders "Titanic" and "Pearl Harbor."

Warner Bros. will pony up a hefty sum -- approximately $309 million (170 million pounds), $9 million more than the budget for "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" -- for the latest Potter adventure, directed by Mike Newell.

Newell is not taking the massive budget nor his filmmaking responsibilities lightly.

"These things are not like ordinary films. They are world events," he explains. "I have millions of 10-year-olds who must not be disappointed. Making 'Harry Potter' is like being President of Brazil. It is a colossal undertaking."

Casting is still underway for the film, which focuses on Potter's fourth year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, when students from other wizarding schools are introduced.

"I've been in Paris, looking for giant women and French schoolgirls," says the happy director.

The third part of the series, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," will have a super-wide release on Friday, June 4.
