I agree, with the anticlimactic tone of the teachers/students gathered around Dumbledore's body. I mean, hello, Hagrid, the biggest baby of them all, was just standing there. He would've been howling in grief, no? I thought this was much less dramatic a scene than when Cedric was killed. :-( From lizzy1933 at yahoo.com Thu Sep 3 03:45:30 2009 From: lizzy1933 at yahoo.com (lizzie_mae_lilly) Date: Thu, 03 Sep 2009 03:45:30 -0000 Subject: Saw HBP again, this time in Imax.

He might have meant the scene with them pointing their wands at the sky, although that doesn't seem like much of a funeral to me!!

They (with the exception of Harry) behave the way they would at a funeral. Funerals are a few days after someone has died and the shock has worn off. Most people are calm at funerals.

I'll be with Dumbledore" part. Maybe we'll see why Ron was sitting on the stairs at the end. That was strange. I think the Harry joins RHG in the common room will be after Harry's fight with Draco. It might be good, if they didn't cut it because Dan didn't pull it off.

Kemper now: I believe it refers to copy that can be played on an ipod or some other device including your computer. The digital copy can be burned onto a DVD. I think.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <003c01ca3a05$41a9b950$c4fd2bf0$@com> A digital copy is a low-res version of the film. There's two on a disk, one is very-low res for play on tiny screens like I-Pods and Zune's the other is a VHS quality that can play on computers. Neither are DVD quality. I think it's dumb, personally. Just include a DVD with no DRM (digital rights management) and then the owner can put it on any device in full quality. Most Disney movies come with 3 disk, Blu-Ray, DVD & Digital Copies. You have to use the code that comes with the disk to access / play the digital copy, and you have to register it, so you can't share. md From: HPFGU-Movie at yahoogroups.com [mailto:HPFGU-Movie at yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of justcarol67 Sent: Sunday, September 20, 2009 10:23 AM To: HPFGU-Movie at yahoogroups.com Subject: [HPFGU-Movie] Digital copy?
