Sorry.. I stand corrected.  I guess I meant to say that we don't see 
him do it that often.  From reading the books, I get the impression 
that he's always having to move out of the way, but in the movie we 
don't see it happening to him that often... we really don't see it 
happening to most of the characters... they're too busy trying to 
avoid each other.

Hmm, here's a question:  Do you think the Quidditch match in the 
movie was less violent, more violent, or about equally violent to the 
way you imagined it when reading the books?  

I thought it was less violent.  I mean, it was definitely something 
else to acutally SEE the violence in form, rather than in an 
imaginary blur (as I see most books as I read them)... but I really 
was expecting more with the bludgers and all.

Oh, and again.. if anyone can give me the book/page of when Wood is 
knocked from his broom, do post it.  Thanks.
