Harry Potter would be an excellent choice that has lasting power and broad appeal. If that's a no go, and sticking with WB, then I would suggest Superman.

Quoted from Aurich:

I'm expecting Harry Potter to happen. Not sure what I think of that, it doesn't really excite me, but it's a good theme. I liked the books, actually reading them again as I read to my 9 year old every night.
I guess I'd call it not a turn off, but also not something that's enough to get me into the machine. I presume it's going to be all movie based, if it was original illustrations and art and animations etc it would be a lot cooler, but I doubt that's gonna happen.

With what, 8 movies, there is no shortage of content to utilize. Wouldn't make sense to start from scratch. Plus, the movies were well done and the theme is relatively timeless... much like WOZ. It's an excellent fit for JJP given they seem to be on more extended runs on each machine compared to Stern. They need something with staying power. A flash in the pan theme doesn't work real well for them at this point. Plus, with that LCD it is hard to imagine them picking a theme that doesn't make good use of video. Hobbit was an excellent choice for them.... assuming it works out, of course
