My seven-year-old daughter does charming pirouettes and plies (PLEE-
AZE) she learned in ballet class when one of the Harry Potter ads 
with Hedwig's Theme comes on television. ;)  

We went to see Monsters, Inc. this afternoon and so I FINALLY GOT TO 
SEE A TRAILER IN A THEATRE!  Although I can watch the one at the 
beginning of my son's video of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory 
as many times as I want, our largest television is a mere 19".  It 
was fabulous to see it on a big screen!  And there were scenes I've 
never seen before!  

That said, my favorite thing of all is still Ron saying, "She has to 
sort out her priorities..."  All three kids appear to be great actors 
(and Dan was great in "David Copperfield") but I think Rupert is 
already my favorite of the trio.  (I also saw the "bloody brilliant 
line" and I have to agree with some folks on the OT list that most 
teachers would probably think this was disrespectful in the extreme; 
McGonagall is supposed to be around 75, and I'm certain that would 
have warranted a severe punishment when she was in school.)

On a special effects note that ties in with Monsters, Inc.--in that 
film there's a monster sushi-bar named "Harry Hausen's."  This joke 
will clearly go over kids' heads.  (My kids didn't bat an eye.)  I 
don't suppose some of the cheesier HP special effects are an homage 
to Ray Harryhausen? ;)
