Centaur/Unicorn (look, a slash!)

Yes, centaurs should look like the torso and upper body of an 
attractive man growing from the shoulders of an attractive horse 
(some twentieth artists have depicted them with TWO sets of 
genitals). Yes, the centaur in this movie was hideously ugly, 
offensive to the eye. Yes, Hagrid says Fir - enz rather than 
Fi-ren-zi, the first time I thought he said Friends which 
didn't make sense to only one centaur. It was not those things 
which bothered me, it was that the Centaur addressed Harry as Mr. 
Potter in the middle of his droned explanation of unicorn blood & the 
Dark Lord. I am sure centaurs don't know from human honorifics! I 
am sure the centaurs always call Dumbledore "Albus Dumbledore", not 
Professor or Headmaster or Mr!

Yes, the unicorn was disappointing. It didn't look like they even 
TRIED to make it the most beautiful and most pathetic thing Harry 
had ever seen. But the gliding swooping flying Voldemort was quite 
adequately scarey. Do people still think it looked like a 
Lethifold?
