I liked this, it made the key challenge a challenge and dangerous.
Otherwise it just seemed a bit silly and contrived, with those brooms
waiting there.

Sheryll and I saw this last night, for the third time each, and what
Dumbledore says is, "the cool use of intellect," which certainly can
apply to the Devil's Snare. We're all remembering the book speech, not
what he says in the script. I was listening for this, because I'd heard
this criticism before and wanted to check it out.

By the way, Fred and George *do* chant, "We got Potter," but they don't
look overwhelmingly excited by the time you notice they're doing it,
probably because by that time they're done gloating and are winding down
and having their attention diverted to congratulating Harry himself,
who's just gotten to the table.

almost 1500 emails waiting, aaaaaaaagh
