 >> what 'Clint Eastwood moment?' i can think of a few
 >>possibilities, but i hesitate to assume. :)

Nicholas:
 >Towards the end of CoS, the confrontation with Lucius Malfoy in
Dumbledore's study. Lucius says "Let us hope that Mr Potter will always be
around to save the day" and Harry replies; "Don't worry... I will be".
BookHarry would *never* say something so egotistical. I have heard that
these lines were Jason Isaac's idea. He should stick to acting.<

Hmm. I never took that line to be "egotistical", though I see how it could 
certainly be taken that way. I took Lucius' line as a subtle threat, which 
Harry picks up on. Harry's reply (IMHO) is defiance, not egotism. He's not 
saying, "I'm Harry Potter, of course I'll be here." He's saying, "I know 
you're against me, and I plan to fight back." The challenge has been issued 
and, to Lucius' surprise (I think), acknowledged and accepted.

It's pushing back against the aggression of an adult, and that I CAN see 
Book!Harry doing. The only problem I had with the line was getting tired of 
it being used in all the trailers. <grin>
