the entire book, and I'm surprised they left them out of the movie.



Fyre Wood (me) replies:

I couldn't agree more with you here =). I wanted to hear not only 
those lines mentioned above, but perhaps some others:

IE: "Oops, I guess my wand got a little over excited."
I don't know *why* I like this line so much, but it's just like 
Lockhart to say something like this. I think that perhaps having 
Lockhart look like a complete moron in the movie during Dueling Club 
might have been funny--and adding that line would have had me (and 
others I'm sure) rolling in the aisles.

IE: "And a good day to you too, Mr. Malfoy. And if the rumors are 
true, you haven't even begun to sell me half of what's in your 
manner." (something like that)
Mr. Borgin's line is so cool--why did they cut that entire scene?

I was looking through photos from the CoS movie calendar and I 
couldn't help but notice that the movie was spliced in some parts. We 
were missing Lockhart giving the quiz about himself, Crabbe/Goyle 
being taken into the closet (as seen in the preview i might add!) and 
even Malfoy's long spiel about Mudbloods and Newspaper articles was 
cut down during the SlyCommon Room scene.

Do you think we'll see any of these in the movie?
