No, Mrs Mason does, which IMO is much more effective. (The Dursleys 
and Masons are sitting in the living room with the Dursleys facing 
away from the kitchen area, around the corder of which Harry and 
Dobby are standing. The Dursleys can see the pudding, but the Masons 
can't. Harry approaches to try to stop the pudding, Dobby makes it 
fall and disappears, leaving Harry with outstretched arms behind Mrs 
Mason as the pudding drops...)

Yes. As I recall it, we don't see the fang going in (it's done as a 
medium shot, so as to not scare the kiddies too much), but Harry 
pulling it out is a tight closeup.  

> Does Harry look the least bit like he's dying?

The immediate effect is that he looks as if he's about to faint, but 
his distress increases over the next couple of minutes and as Ginny 
regains conciousness, he tells her to escape and leave him to die.

None of the above, actually, though "crash" comes pretty close. :-) 
It's a forced landing and he's lying spreadeagled on the ground, face 
up. The bludger tries to bash him a couple more times, but he dodges 
it and the bludger "bounces" off the ground. Hermione runs onto the 
pitch and causes the bludger to explode in mid-air.
