Newell to direct new 'Harry Potter' movie

LONDON -- The British director of "Four Weddings and A Funeral" will direct the fourth Harry Potter movie, Warner Bros. Pictures announced Sunday.

Mike Newell will begin work on "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" in April, the company said.

American Chris Columbus directed the first two movie versions of J.K. Rowling's hugely successful series on the boy wizard.

"Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," the third film in the series, is currently being filmed under the direction of Alfonso Cuaron, and the studio said that as the two productions will overlap, it was not feasible for him to direct both.

Producer David Heyman said Newell was the "perfect choice" for the new film. "He has worked with children, made us laugh, and had us sitting on the edge of our seats, he is great with actors and imbues all his characters, all his films, with great humanity. I'm thrilled," Heyman said.

Newell, 61, also has directed "Donnie Brasco," with Al Pacino, and has recently completed "Mona Lisa Smile" with Julia Roberts.

Boom, Like That
Mark Knopfler, from Shangri La (2004)

I'm going to San Bernardino, Ring - a ding-ding
Milkshake mixers that's my thing now
These guys bought a heap of my stuff
And I gotta see a good thing sure enough now
Or my name is not Kroc, that's Krok with a K
Like crocodile but not spelled that way now
Its dog eat dog, rat eat rat
Krok style - Boom, like that

The folks line up all down the street
And I'm seeing this girl devour her meat now
And then I get it, wham, as clear as day
My pulse begins to hammer then I hear a voice say
These boys have got this down, Oughtta be one of these in every town
These boys have got the touch; it's clean as a whistle and it don't cost much
Wham, bam, you don't wait long, Shake, fries, patty, your gone
And how about that friendly name? Heck, every little thing oughtta stay the same
Or my name is not Kroc, that's Krok with a K
Like crocodile but not spelled that way now
Its dog eat dog, rat eat rat
Dog eat dog, rat eat rat now
Ohh its dog eat dog, rat eat rat
Krok style - Boom, like that

You gentlemen ought to expand
You're going to need a helping hand now
So gentlemen well what about me?
We'll make a little business history, now
Or my name is not Kroc, call me Ray
Like crocodile but not spelled that way now
Its dog eat dog, rat eat rat
Krok style - Boom, like that

Well we build it up and I buy 'em out
But man they made me grind it out now
They open up a new place flipping meat
So I do too, right across the street
I got the name but I need the town, they sell up in the end and it all shuts down
Sometimes you gotta be a S.O.B.; you wanna make a dream reality
Competition send 'em south, if they're gonna drown put a hose in their mouth
Do not pass go straight to hell, I smell that meat hook smell
Or my name is not Kroc, that's Krok with a K
Like crocodile but not spelled that way now
Ohh its dog eat dog, rat eat rat
Dog eat dog, rat eat rat now
Ohh its dog eat dog, rat eat rat
Krok style - Boom, like that
