"Tempest in a teapot"--a new variant

[Carol]

I just encountered a new variant of "tempest in a teapot" in a British
article on, appropriately enough, the PG rating of the HBP film.
(That's the U.S. rating; it hasn't been rated in the UK yet.) It does
seem odd to me to give HBP, which has that Sectumsempra scene and an
actual killing, not to mention the Inferi, a PG rating when GoF and
OoP were rated PG13 (roughly equivalent to 12A in Britain), but the
author of the article calls it "a bit of a cafuddle over nothing."
Those Brits. Gotta love 'em for the expressions they come up with."
I've heard of "kerfuffle" (wasn't that somewhere in the HP books?) but
not "caduffle." That's a bit of all right, old boy! (Okay, obviously
I'm not British.)

Anyway, I liked the way our topic tied in with our raison d'etre. :-)

it's possible to record on a VHS tape or DVD from DirecTV
