Dobby

[Felicia Rickmann]

I read an article that said Dobbie was all CG - computer generated - i.e. not real.  This might account for his less than tangible * feel * but as special effects are now of such a high standard that HP's huge and impressive collection of them was ignored at the Oscars recently - it's hard to tell

  Yes, exactly.  And I just had another thought: House-Elves are 
  supposed to have their own brand of powerful magic.  However, looking 
  at CoS-Movie-Dobby, one wouldn't actually see a 'powerful' creature.  
  He doesnt seem very solid.  I don't picture the Malfoy's as 
  employing/enslaving (S.P.E.W. anyone?) a house-elf that doesn't have 
  the ability to stand on his own.

  I wonder how they did design Dobby? I dont suppose they'll tell us 
  though.  Some kind of secret.  Oh, but didn't C. Columbus say that 
  Dobby was definitely not like Jar-Jar Binks?  Uh-oh. <G>  At least 
  Jar-Jar seemed somewhat solid.

  ok, im going off now. I'll stop.  Im going to enjoy the movie 
  regardless of what Dobby looks like; I already know this. :)
