I had a dream the other night that I was watching OotP at the movies. 
Somehow in my dreams, the opening date had crept up on me without my 
realizing it (doubtful!!) Anyway, in my dream, Sirius was NOT Gary 
Oldman, but somehow that didn't bother me (doubtful!) And so much was 
changed I hardly recognized the film. Hopefully this was a just a 
dream, and not just foreshadowing...:-)

My girls and I just watched "The Secret Garden". Lovely movie. It has 
Professor McGonagall/Maggie Smith in it, and the production designer 
was Stuart Craig, who did all the Harry Potter movies. Secret Garden 
definitely had that Harry Potter feel to it. The rich, dark decor with 
sepia tone/warm lighting. Craig worked on the English Patient, which 
also has that "turn-of-the-century" feel to it.
The music for Secret Garden was by Patrick Doyle, who did the music for 
GOF.
