As part of the promotion for the release of the Ultimate Collector's editions of Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets, a new video has been released showing producer David Heyman at the first press conference in 2000 reading a note he received from J.K Rowling. The note entails her feelings about Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson being cast for the roles of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger, respectively. It can be viewed below.

Quote:

Having seen Dan Radcliffe's screen test, I don't think Chris Columbus could have found a better Harry. I am also delighted to see that we're going to have a screen Ron and Hermione who can bicker as if they'd been doing it all their lives. Chris's choice of three wonderful British actors for the leading roles shows how well he understands the spirit of these books. I wish Dan, Emma, and Rupert the very best of luck, and hope they have as much fun acting the first year at Hogwarts as I had writing it.

The Ultimate Collector's editions of the first two films can be pre-ordered via the following links (currently only in the US and Australia):

Sorcerer's Stone DVD; Sorcerer's Stone Blu-ray
Chamber of Secrets DVD; Chamber of Secrets Blu-ray

The trio really do so great together! Chris Columbus did an excellent job with the casting and it was incredibly sweet of JK Rowling to say all those things.
