  I saw it for the third time myself yesterday (although I can make 
any promises that it will be the last time until the DVD) and also 
love the scene.  Yes, there were elements of E.T., Titanic, etc., but 
too me, it's Harry and Buckbeak and this is all that matters.  The 
scenery and the music were both beautiful.  

  As we were leaving after the movie, another theater had it's door 
open and the Quidditch scene was playing.  It took everything I had 
to keep from going in and watching the rest of the movie again.
