I don't like Spiders, and Snape

[Felicia Rickmann]

Firstly, I have had a closer look at the miniscule snippet of Ron, Harry and the Ford Angular (sorry) Anglia near the end of T2, Chez Aragog.  It is very very dark relative to the most of the trailer but the car appears to be escaping through a group of spiders, one of which is rearing up into the glare of the headlight, which I think gives a good idea of it's size.   I have posted two pictures in the group HPfGU Movie Photos folder "Spiders" to show what I mean.

 

Now, I know how big FA's are, and I can see how big this spider is and, IMHO, that spider looks *enormous*.  Having brightened a frame to see what's going on, that spider is definitely at least two metres across from hairy toe to hairy toe  <<<< chill shiver runs down spine - if it can find one....>>>>.  If the car is knocking the spider out of the way, see attached, relatively speaking it's huge, so, even if the snake is definitely IMHO not big enough, the spiders, on review, most definitely look as though they are!

 

Secondly, has anyone worked out if the writing around Snape's windows means anything, apart from looking decorative?  It looks Italic/Gothic type script; all angular serifs*.  I have an idea or two not much though.  The shot in Entertainment Weekly, June 7, 2002 issue shows our hero Snape, sundry fascinating looking bottles, jars, furniture; and behind him arched windows (shades of Playschool.) 

 

Above the window the writing curves round, and * may* continue on either side, as seen in the shot of Severus from Trailer 2; part of a repeated sequence from Trailer 1 of Dumbledore, Snape, MacGonagall & Lockhart, minus Lockhart where, left of shot, more writing is visible.  It is a different window in the T2 shot from EW  i.e. different shape, different stuff on front of the window etc., (Snape does not strike me as being someone who moves his furniture much) so I would say the same room. Just wondering.

 

BTW Don't get me started on Snape's bowl of crisps...
