1. So, it's not gonna be Rowan Atkinson?

That was the scuttlebutt earlier this year.

2. I think it's a very good choice

3. Just so long as the movie isn't a let-down ...

... like Prisoner of Azkaban.

I think he'll do a good job. But I was kinda pulling for John Malkovich ;-)

4. IMHO, "Azkaban" is the weakest of the five books...

...so it didn't surprise me that it's the weakest of the three films. I still liked it, though!

5. The director wasn't right for this genre ...

He stripped out EVERYTHING that was magical about Hogwarts. He cut out a LOT of essential details of the plot. AND he reduced Harry and the gang to little more than spectators where before they had been "detectives".
