Sorry, that's supposed to be CUT.  Do you think they use the amout of
CGI effects required to determine whether a piece/scene gets cut
(Peeves?)?  I suppose not really for the first, as 99% of the
extra-difficult stuff was LEFT & the easier things cut (grr).  I
wonder as to COS and beyond as the magic (and comp work) becomes
increasingly difficult.  I really do wonder what they are going to do
about Dobby. (I really see him as getting cut, I really do...after
some of the wacky cuttings of PS/SS I wouldn't be surprised!)

Dobby...and if it might by some chance be better, <vbg as she ducks
the tomatoes>)
