Speaking with the Swedish paper Aftonbladet, the three youthful stars of the HARRY POTTER films -- Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint -- have told the press that they will indeed be back in HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE.

Thanks to a translation provided by The Leaky Cauldron, Watson told Aftonbladet's reporter that they will reprise their characters in the fourth POTTER film. The kids are pushing fifteen right now and when GOBLET starts to lens next year, will be sixteen.

Assuiming Warner Bros. makes all seven HARRY POTTER films, how long do the trio have before the filmmakers need to recast the parts? If it takes 18-24 months between each film, Daniel, Emma and Rupert will be over 20 before the final film comes out -- and that's assuming J.K. Rowling will have the final two books written. For now perhaps it's better to wonder if the moviemakers will be able to get HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX, the fifth and latest book, into development by the time shooting starts on GOBLET.

"We're not up to speculate on that - one movie at a time," said Emma Watson.
