Potioncat:
For some reason the screen is very dark. It's not the monitor, it's 
the computer. Perhaps it could be fixed, I don't know.

I can see the picture of Richard holding the crown well enough to 
know what it is. Those that are bright are OK, anything that is dim 
or dark is very difficult to see.

Potioncat:
Have you ever seen "The Good-bye Girl"? One of the chacactors is 
performing in Richard III and is made to add all sorts of 
abnormalities to Richard. He isn't very happy about it, but it works 
out.

Once upon a time, the list was discussing the possible connections 
between HP and York/Lancaster. I remember saying that if Snape was 
supposed to be Richard, we'd better hope he didn't take Neville and 
Harry to the tower. Turns out Snape had his "tower murder" afterall.
