But then Salisbury is very civilised - they have the best cake shop 
in England (Michael Snell) and sell roasted chestnuts in the streets 
(not in summer, obviously) so naturally they'd have Vanity Fair 
available (well, the Harry edition anyway)

Surely they cannot remove owls - how would you get the post? Anyway, 
I'm sure I've seen pictures of daniel-with-snowy-owl and aren't they 
in the trailer too?

Incidentally, I was talking to a friend of mine who purports to be a 
Harry Potter fan; I mentioned that I was introduced to the books by a 
younger friend of mine - but he laughed when I said by 'younger' I 
meant 22 - apparently he thinks the books are for children, and, 
despite being getting a box set from his girlfriend for his birthday 
months ago, hasn't even read the fourth one yet as "it looks 
huge"...  I'm debating whether he should be allowed to watch the film.
