[Lee]:
That's why I asked the question, Steve.  Knowing that the Dursleys don't
give him any money, I wondered how he could have gotten the items.  Did he
(A) find money in the street and save it up to buy the stuff, (b) find the
stuff in the trash, (c) theft it from Uncle Vernon's shed, etc.?  I mention
the shed as OOTP says that Harry was threatened with being locked in it if
he got home after Dudley.

[Lee]:
I missed that, too, and wish that the movie ending had been more like the
book.  It was nice, but I would have loved to see Malfoy and his thuggies
reduced to slug-like objects. :-)

Cheers,
Lee (Who's in the real nitpick stage of re-reading.) :-)
