Yeah, that was absolutely brilliant, as Harry might say!  And the Anglia 
pulling the bars away, with nothing to get traction against (it WAS in the 
air, after all) and yet seeming to strain a bit as a car on the ground would 
-- I just loved that whole scene.  I love the twins too -- wish they had more 
air time -- I'd be happy with 4 hour long movies, I guess, to get more of 
everything in!!  Well, an intermission might be a good thing, but still -- 
I'd love to see MORE in each movie!!

On Fawkes -- in the book he's supposed to be as big as a swan and quite 
beautiful in an odd sort of way.  I was surprised to see him not much bigger 
than a big parrot.  But I suppose it would be pretty darned hard to get 
something as big as a swan to sit on a perch like Fawkes does -- it would 
have to be a pretty darned big perch, I guess!  Or are British swans smaller 
than American swans?  Ours are the size of a big turkey (uh-oh, American 
bird. . .) -- uh, a big goose?  Sometimes bigger!  

One thing I noticed on my third viewing was the "order" in which the group 
was holding onto Fawkes to fly out of the chamber.  If I remember correctly, 
Ron was holding Lockhart, Harry was holding onto Lockhart and had his arm 
around Ginny.  Wouldn't it seem more natural for Ron to hold his sister and 
Harry to hold Fawkes??  Of course, being the "hero" Harry would be the last 
one -- maybe that was the logic behind it.  Any thoughts?  

Hoping to get to see it again this week -- gotta love dollar cinemas!  ;->
