you saw the stag in some other scene, and I didn't :-). But, actually
- I already wrote about this on the other list - you can see a head
with antlers in those "waves of dazzling light" in the second scene,
if you look really well :-).

Carol responds:

Supposedly, you can also see the stag in OoP if you slow down the film
as the Dementor is (IIRC) about to be hit by a large truck (lorry),
but I can't see it using my DVD player. I doubt whether a movie goer
who hasn't read the books would see it, either. It ought, IMO, to be
clearly a stag scattering the Dementors in both films.

Carol, afraid that she hasn't expressed the idea clearly, but it's too
late at night to think
