Dual layer DVDs/Drenched Dudley

Having been in the world of DVDs for two months now I have to say that the only downside about watching Sorcerer's Stone on DVD is the definite pause at the end of the
troll scene (just before the troll growls and 'frightens' Quirrel). It's very noticeable since all of a sudden the constant thunder in the background stops. I've read on the back of
other DVDs about how you may notice a pause during transition on dual layer discs (which HP is). I guess that's what is happening here, but it makes me wonder why they
don't put the switch at the end of a scene instead in the middle. It's very annoying.
Another comment on something I just noticed.. When they arrive home from the zoo Petunia is mothering Dudley, saying how he should change out of those wet clothes as
she hurries him off to.. the kitchen? The dining room? Wouldn't upstairs to his room or to a hot shower have been a better idea? I guess there's two ways of interpreting
that: a) the filmmakers made a goof, or b) Dudley can't survive more than 20 minutes without a meal. I wouldn't count out the latter. ;-)
