You clearly remember, though. :-)

Yeah, well, I'm not sure that the "details" in the fullscreen version 
actually warrant the money. The only picture which in my view adds anything 
to the equation is the Weasley clock, but we're clearly going to see more 
of that clock in the future anyway. The Evening Prophet was "cute", but 
beyond that, completely unimportant.

Knowing that these things are absent from the picture doesn't spoil my 
enjoyment of the widescreen version. Seeing  things like the train excised 
from Platform 9 3/4 made me squirm when I recently saw the fullscreen one, 
though!

There were other pictures which I prepared but didn't include on the site 
(mainly because I didn't really have any specific comments to make) but 
have uploaded to this group's photo albums. If you're seeing this on the 
web, use the "Photos" link on the left to go to the albums and select the 
"CoS ws-v-fs" album, or alternatively, here's a direct link:

Have fun!
