Good grief!!!!!!!! Maybe I was just being woolly headed but it never
occurred to me they would have to do that.  I have American chums and they
do not strike me as thick, stupid or even dim!!  In fact I think they drive
better in New York than here in London....... but ....never mind...........

At least it looks as though Valentine's day is alive and kicking in the US,
judging from the worries about the scenes that may be omitted from the film
;-))  I have followed GulPlum's advice and viewed the pixies bit in picture
form but, the bottom line on Gilderoy is, I shall have to wait and see.  I
like Branagh but a few snippets here and there don't give you a rounded out
character.....
