[Wednesday, October 23rd, 2002]
The young stars of the blockbuster Harry Potter films will probably call it quits after the third installment of the series, according to director Chris Columbus.

"If I were a betting man I'd say they'll probably stop after three," Columbus told Reuters.

The trio will be back for the third movie, based on J.K. Rowling books, "The Prisoner of Azkaban," which begins filming in March and is expected to be released in June 2004.

"If they ask my opinion, my advice would be to go back to being kids," said Columbus, whose film version of "Sorcerer's Stone"

Asked about his future plans regarding playing the bespectacled Potter, Radcliffe told a news conference on Tuesday, "We're all definitely doing the third film. After that, who knows?"
