Potioncat:
My oldest just saw the movie on DVD (Of course we got it for 
Christmas). The rest of the day he kept blurting out questions about 
what was going on. He's never read the books--and poor kid---I kept 
saying something like, "I don't know "what" was going on in the movie, 
but in the book...."

Carol:
 And what was with the lighting in the scene where
> Umbridge (briefly) interrogates him? He looked absolutely ghoulish.


Potioncat:
I know. Horrible! Do you suppose they think he is a vampire?  ;-)
It isn't Alan Rickman, he looks just fine in other movies. I read a 
Sweeny Todd interview and Rickman briefly commented on HP. He said 
something along the line of now he finally understands what his 
character is doing and why.

Back to OoP movie, when Nagini was attacking Arthur, I had a flash 
forward to the DH movie. I'm going to need help during the Nagini-Snape 
scene!
