Odds and ends

[nicholas dean]

A few points that have been made recently:-

'Hedwig's Theme' in Doyle's score
Valerie and I were talking about this.  If anyone wants to hear it 
without investing in the soundtrack (or seeing the movie again, if 
that is even an option for you at this stage), go to the iTunes site. 
They allow you to listen to an excerpt of the tracks before deciding 
whether to buy. If you go to the GoF soundtrack and click on the 
track 'The Story Continues', the excerpt includes 'Hedwig's Theme'. 
In the movie, it can be heard exactly when the words 'Harry Potter' 
appear on the screen.

The 'eye observation'
(sorry, I haven't kept track of where this came from); I too have 
noticed this habit of Dan Radcliffe's. It is possibly something that 
he is overcoming as he gets older, as it has become less noticeable 
with each movie; however, I saw it a few times in GoF. Examples? Let 
me see; in the first tete-a-tete with Moody ('what are you going to 
do about your dragon?')...in the study hall...on the bridge with 
Cedric...the final conversation with Dumbledore. I'm sure many of you 
noticed more instances than I did.

'Wormtail'
Not only does Voldemort call Pettigrew by this name in GoF; so do 
Sirius (to be expected) and Harry. Perhaps we are to infer that 
Sirius told Harry who the Marauders were...but this is as much of a 
continuity error as different outfits in contiguous shots would be.

'I'll show you mine if you show me yours'
When Barty Crouch Jr says this, he is looking to his right at Harry 
and Dumbledore, *not* at Snape, who is on his left. I do not 
understand why the movie draws the parallel between BCJ's Dark Mark 
and the wound on Harry's arm.

Karen's tirade
Welcome to the list Karen! and thank you for your post in response to 
mine. Your message proved pretty much everything that I had said, 
though I rather imagine that this was not your intention. It is 
recommended that new members should read through the posts of the 
last few years before contributing to the discussions; if you do so, 
you may possibly come to understand how inappropriate some of your 
comments were.

Cheers,
Nicholas
