This scene bugs me because I can't imagine McGonagall telling the kids this
story, which would obviously frighten and disturb them and which she
probably thinks is bull-crap anyway, (until later when it's proved the
chamber is real). I find it so out of character, although I understand why
they did it as Maggie Smith and Alan Rickman don't have much to do in this
movie, but still. I'm sure if Hermione had asked McG this question she would
have told her to zip her lip and get on with her work!

I also agree with you on the Hagrid scenes at the end. I always stop
watching after HRH have their little reunion in the great hall (which is
about as much cheese as I can stand!).
