Steven Spielberg’s Animated Potter Plan

Steven Spielberg spent about six months developing the first Harry Potter film before leaving the project. He called it a "slam dunk" and reportedly imagined it as an animated movie, with American actor Haley Joel Osment voicing Harry. Spielberg left after creative differences with J.K. Rowling, and the film eventually moved forward as a live-action adaptation directed by Chris Columbus.
