Back again. Saw it for the third time last night. A couple of notes
(and maybe they've been noted, I don't know, I can't keep up with
messages on here):
1 - Filch is with the Slytherins at the Quidditch match -- can we
conclude that he is a Slytherin?
2 - they never call Mrs. Norris by that name, just "Filch's cat."
3 - there are little chains hanging over the books in the restricted
section
4 - sorry, Lee Jordan looks ridiculous -- he looks like a girl. My
wife will not believe that it's supposed to be a boy
5 - that bit where Malfoy swings around the crowd on his broom just
before shooting up into the air with the Rememberall is really cool
6 - I can't wait to see this on DVD so I can freeze frame everything
and write everything down -- I miss so much: pictures moving, signs
on Diagon Alley, the postmark date on the letter that arrives with
Harry's first envelope from Hogwarts, etc. etc. If anyone catches
any of those details, please let me know for the Lexicon!
7 - Malfoy is no meaner to Ron than Hermione is on first meeting. So
why is he snubbed so terribly? He looks downright hurt by it, not
angry, and I can hardly blame him. I hope Malfoy gets more time to
be properly nasty in future films.
I'd like to put together a list of errors in the movie for the
Lexicon. I'm not talking about continuity errors, since I don't give
a hoot about those, and I'm not talking about honest artistic
decisions and edits that have to be made to convert a novel to a 2-
1/2 hour movie. I'm talking about things that are inexplicably
different, things like Hagrid getting Fluffy from an "Irish chap"
instead of a Greek chap, Hagrid's hut not being made of wook, or
Potions class not being held in the dungeon. Anyone have anything to
suggest?
