Iggy here:

*grin* Thanks....

BTW: If you can write a Filk, you can probably WARP something.  Just
come up with a scene from a movie you like, and wonder what it would be
like with HP characters.  If it seems funny or deranged enough to you,
go for it.

It's actually a lot easier than you'd think.  I went and looked up the
screenplay on line, copied the pertinent scene, pasted it to Word, and
used the "replace' edit feature to swap the names of Harry and Umbridge
where appropriate.  That saved a LOT of time.  Then I went through and
did a point by point edit.  That whole thing took me less than 30
minutes to do.

Funny thing is, I was inspired by my answer to the detention question.
The first thing I thought was "Are you trying to seduce me, Mrs.
Umbridge?"  *snicker*
