Who the heck is that kid?

[Severina Amadenna Salem-Snape]

I was about to respond when I noticed Lynda did such a superb job. 
My theory on the Slytherin and Gryffindor spies - friends of the 
director Cuaron...or perhaps Crabbe and Goyle were mad at each other 
and they had to split them up for filming, or some other outside 
obligation kept the dastardly duo apart. I also agree the 2 newbies 
are rejects and will hopefully not return for 4. 

And about the little Adolf Flitwick music conductor - hopefully they 
will change his appearance back...I preferred the previous Flitwick-
look. According to IMDB the musical wizard is Flitwick...this actor 
does get around though...Warwick Davis links Star Wars to HP.
