Hi everyone,

Yeah, I'm still doing the rounds in this shiny uniform.  Look: I've 
even put my hair in a beehive, all special, like...


****ALL MOVIE DISCUSSIONS GO TO OUR NEW MOVIE LIST

All Saint's Day (that's the 1st November) is the official launch date 
for our new offshoot list for discussion of the Harry Potter movie.  
Depending on your time zone, we're there or almost there, so please 
move ALL your movie messages to:-

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-Movie

...or get there via the floo network from this lovely log-cabin 
fireplace that John set up:

****A FEW POINTS TO CONSIDER

1. Tabouli was right to point out that the release dates for the 
first film are staggered, with some countries not launching until 
well into 2002, incidentally.  That was another factor that had to be 
considered in deciding where to discuss it.  It seemed easier to 
avoid an entire list than to worry about whether someone would 
inadvertently spoil in a post to the main list.

2. You may wish to join HPFGU-Movie ahead of time and set yourself 
to "Only special announcements"  (same as webview/"no emails" but you 
get important ADMIN messages as e-mails) until you have had a chance 
to see the film; or to Digests, which you can attempt to leave 
unopened in your in-box.  If you join and set yourself to receive 
individual emails, please bear in mind that every message posted 
there will have the potential to spoil.

3. We're asking posters to the new movie list to continue using 
spoilers on anything that might spoil the film for others, *up to and 
including the day of 16th November*.  After 16th November, we'll 
assume that anyone taking part in discussions on that list is 
discussing a film they have already seen and that spoiler space is 
not, therefore, necessary.

4. The ADMIN files that apply to this list also apply on the movie 
list.

5. If you post movie-related stuff to OT Chatter or Announcements 
after 16th November, please use spoiler space when appropriate.

"HPFGU-Movie is a non-smoking list.  Please extinguish all smoking
materials.  Yes sir, that does include your beard!"

Thanks!

Neil
