the Philosopher's Stone

[Schlobin1 at aol.com]

I just realized that I might be able (eventually) to get a videotape of the 
PHILOSOPHER'S Stone, and then would not be annoyed by the change to the 
Sorcerer's Stone..particularly when Hermione says "don't you read any 
history?" (I was gritting my teeth-- history? yes, we do read here in the 
U.S., and we know that there is NO SUCH THING as a Sorcerer's Stone, and a 
long history of the PHILOSOPHER'S stone..

Wow, I say again, that Harris got cheated of his lines and characterization..
from the card that said he liked ten pin (is that right?) and chamber music 
and noted his association with Nicholas Flamel..to the omission of the line 
that said that he had never seen a cat be so severe (referring to 
McGonagall's alter ego at the beginning).
Also, no line about to the well ordered mind...death.....

Ah well
