I agree, wow! And a very interesting article as well. Don't forget to listen 
to the audio link on there too, there is more on the actors and such.
I do have one question though - if this scene is near the Whomping Willow 
when Harry and Hermione are trying to chase after Ron and the 'dog', why is Harry 
dressed in his Dursley clothes? That sweater is the same one he has on in the 
early scenes when he escapes from Privet Drive. I don't recall him wearing 
that thing later on in the book...or maybe he does? Oh well, it's a great photo 
and I couldn't help thinking, 'gee, Emma felt embarrassed having to hug Dan at 
the end of COS because it was in front of so many people. I wonder how she 
felt about this scene?' <g> Although the article is pretty clear that the 'sap 
is rising' as far as hormones are concerned ;-) 
I love the sign Emma has on her dressing room door - Beware, Babe Inside ;)

It's great to hear about Hogmeade too. I was wondering how that place would 
look. Can't wait to see some photos of it.

As for Cuaron not directing GOF, that was decided, I think, before he even 
did this one. It's not a sign that WB doesn't like what he's doing. As the audio 
clip says, the reporter for Newsweek says that the schedule is grueling for 
these films and to do two in a row is very difficult for a director. It also 
would tie up his schedule for at about 2 years and directors usually don't do 
that. I think it was always decided that he only wanted to direct only one.
