Richard (GulPlum) has a wonderful page that shows what you lose in  the full 
screen format -- somebody have that link handy?  LOADS of details  get lost in 
the full screen versions.  When you buy a new TV, try to get  one that's set 
up as a "home theater" -- then the screen will be better designed  to show 
letterbox (widescreen) format and the black bars won't be as noticeable.   

And I, too, thought that was Jim Dale doing the narration on the DVD --  
could be.  I have all the books on tape or CDs, as well as hard cover  (children's 
versions so they have the colorful cover art) and have read all of  them MANY 
MANY Times as well as listened to them way too often!  Somehow  they never 
get old, do they?  Can't wait for the next book and the GoF  movie!!!

Still haven't watched all the "extras" on Disk 2 -- it's great having  that 
much more to look forward to!  I wish the Shrunken Head hadn't  interrupted the 
trio's interview so much -- I would have loved to hear what Dan  and Emma 
thought their Boggarts would be, for instance, and answers to more of  the 
interviewer's questions from each of them.  Cute interview  though.  (Off to watch 
some other special features!)  OH!  I wish  they'd left that spinning Knight 
Bus scene in!  Too funny, with Harry  screaming as he holds on!  How do the 
wizards in the beds stay in place  instead of hitting the windshield all the time 
like Harry?  Ah, the  questions abound about Harry's world!!  ;-D
