I am sure that is who the target audience will be. I rather suspect that the
project was greenlighted on the back of Spielberg's War Of The Worlds
because of the word *Tripod*
I don't particular care that much for Harry Potter but if the same standards
are at least maintained for Tripods then it should at least be watchable.
