IN THIS ISSUE OF STARBURST

Harry Potter
• Harry is already a literary superstar, but will his leap to the big screen confirm his status as an icon for our age, or tarnish that well-earned success? Starburst meets up with some key players on Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone* - producer David Heyman, director Chris Columbus and screenwriter Steve Kloves - for a lesson in making motion picture magic. PLUS! We chat to young star Daniel Radcliffe about Harry, Hagrid, and Hogwarts! (*... Sorceror's Stone in the US)
