I'm gonna be a kill-joy and agree with Joann. It is a very funny 
scene to read, but what makes it so funny to me is the sneering tone 
of the insults which  one can't help but hear in one's head, even if 
they are just appearing on a piece of paper. (I just loved the voices 
Stephen Fry made to go with the map at this point in his reading of 
PoA, I had to rewind the tape and listen to it several times, I 
thought he did it so well. Especially the way the tone of each 
successive insult becomes increasingly affected.)However, as Joann 
points out, this would be difficult to translate to the screen.
