'Potter' gig a revelation for writer of franchise screenplays

"Steve Kloves is ready to lie lower than his most famous screenwriting gig allows. He's thinking that maybe he'll finish that script he was working on 13 years ago, before hitching on to the biggest movie franchise ever.

In the last dozen or so years, Kloves' career has been spellbound, as screenwriter for seven of the eight 'Harry Potter' movies, including the two-part 'Deathly Hallows' finale. Since 1998, Kloves has lived and breathed J.K. Rowling's creation. Over the past decade, fans have thanked or cursed him for what he did to her stories. Kloves is a rare screenwriter to hear his name screamed by red-carpet gawkers, signing autographs alongside actors Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson."
