More CoS thoughts/ re: Set report/

[Richelle Votaw]

I've just watched CoS again, and of course I've always got something to say.  First, after my mother watched it with me last Monday, she informed me it wasn't as good as SS/PS.  Though she did actually laugh out loud once (my mother is not much of a movie buff.  Her idea of good viewing is I Love Lucy)--when Ron knocked Lockhart over the head with the rock, of all things.  Yet tonight, Harry has no sooner escaped the Dursleys then who do I find joining me?  Yes, my mother was back.  I thought she'd stay a few minutes and leave.  Nope, 2 1/2 hours later, she was still there.  Go figure.  It must be pretty good if she'll watch it twice in the space of a week!

Anyway, I noticed that Dumbledore, as he hands the sword to Harry for him to look at Godric Gryffindor's name, says "Be careful."  I didn't catch that the first three times.  So I suppose Harry *carefully* grabs it by the blade?  

I also found myself saying "He's so cute!" a number of times.  Oddly enough, usually over either Dobby or Ron.  Of all things.  I really think I might have to get one of those Dobby Gund dolls.  I just love the part where Dobby gets the sock.  "Dobby is free!"  He's so cute.  I need a house elf.  Not to work, just to look at.  (and this coming from me, who practically hated Dobby in the books!  I suppose it's the cute little facial expressions.  Yes, I'm nuts.)

Thanks very much for your report.  Almost like being there.  I suppose the next best thing, since I can't very well quit my job and fly to England to see PoA being filmed!
