Annemehr:
I can believe Cuaron meant to put Black's face there, and like you, I
can't imagine why.

Do I understand you to say that Sirius purposely communicated through
the crystal ball? I thought crystal balls just showed images of things
from the future? 

But you're right -- if it is Black, in a crystal ball, there is no
reason for him, or his image (whichever) to be threatening Harry. It
just seems like a bit of sloppy atmosphere-creation to me. It's not
even like Sirius ever did say "Haaarrrry Potterrrrr" like that, did
he? Does Cuaron mean that Harry was projecting his own fears into the
ball, and not "seeing" at all? Not to mention, canon-Harry's never
seen anything but fog in a crystal ball. ;)

Have fun at the movie. I'll be at it again soon, too -- I hope
sometime this weekend!

who has a whole list of things to notice next time, but will probably
be always looking at the characters' faces as usual, instead
