[HPFGU-Movie] Movie Review (very long--you've been warned)

[Chris M. Dickson]

We'll probably never agree about Emma Watson!

Probably just an over-literal application of the relevant text:

"Harry was speeding towards the ground when the crowd saw him clap his
hand to his mouth as though he was about to be sick - he hit the pitch
on all fours - coughed - and something gold fell into his hand." (PS/SS
Ch. 11; pages 140-141 here.)

Golden Snitches should be bigger than open mouths, shouldn't they? Hard
to see that this wouldn't have resulted in at least a few broken teeth.
:-x

Very interesting review! The points about the origins of the humour in
the script are particularly perceptively expressed.

Any early thoughts about whether/where this would appear in your top 100
movie list at http://www.critpath.org/~purdom/movies.html ? (And is that
list ordered by descending preference or, in some places, by similarity
of subject matter?)

Best wishes for the weekend,
Chris
