It is a dragon skeleton in the DADA classroom in the PS and CoS 
movies. In the October, 2001 Vanity Fair, they had a pictorial of PS 
pictures. There is a picture of Quirrell, Flitwick and Hooch with the 
dragon skeleton. The caption on the photo makes mention of it being a 
dragon skeleton.

I looked through "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", I think 
the skeleton is of a Peruvian Vipertooth Dragon. It fits the general 
size and skeletel description.

I think you're right. That's one of Malfoy's stooges.

>Not sure, but the choreography looks pretty fun so far!

I totally agree. The first time I saw the trailer, I said "Whoa.... 
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Harry!"

One of my own notes.... Unless I am mistaken, I believe that is a 
drawing of a Phoenix behind Professsor McGonagall when she says "the 
Chamber is said to be home of a monster." It resembles JKR's sketch 
of Fawkes.

I have to say, I am very excited to see CoS. I am more impressed with 
the trailer for this one than I was for PS. Of course, I didn't 
really pay attention to the PS trailers when they first came out (I 
only read PS the Monday before the movie was released). I am very 
interested to see how CoS is conveyed on the big screen. I must 
admit, it is my least favourite of the books. That is one of the 
reasons I want to see what they've done with it. I'm WORRIED about 
seeing my favourite book (PoA) done on screen. I love it so much, I'm 
afraid the movie will ruin it for me.

Well, as long as they get a good director and good actors for Sirius 
and Remus. So far I haven't been disappointed with their casting.
