Potioncat:
Dweeb? Well, it would take one to know one. Last week I slipped the 
SS/PS VHS into the VCR and felt the original excitement as the HP 
soundtrack played and the HP orientd Coca-cola sponsored reading 
promotion came on.

Then the movie came on. I was still thrilled! Harris!DD, Diagnon 
Alley, the hills around beautiful Hogwarts Castle... It must be years 
since I watched this movie. Turns out, our SS/PS and CoS are missing. 
Perhaps the Borrowers have them...

Potioncat:
Don't know about the kidding part...I see a real comparison in my 
house among several of us.

Potioncat:
Yes I did mean the character. But good point about the actor.

I really noticed Tom Felton this time around. I think he just shined 
in every scene he was in. I'm starting to understand the appeal of 
Draco. JKR said it all along, that it was Tom Felton the girls really 
liked.

Potioncat: Yeah, I know what you mean. But this time he sounded just 
like Ollivander speaking about You-Know-Who, "He did great things, 
terrible! but great." (or something along that line.

Good to see you posting, SSSusan.
