Once again, I am desperately trying to find creative Harry Potter-related
activities to occupy myself with, since we have a long, long wait for
the next book. I have been thinking about the movie. Although, given the
director, I am not too hopeful, I think it will be exciting to actually
see what Hogwarts, etc. looks like, even though it will probably look
nothing like any of us want it too.

My question/fantasy is: What kind of visual effects and other cools
things would you have if you were making the movie?

I know that if I were doing it, I would have it open in the Potters
house on Halloween 1981. I would have the camera pan thru the dark house,
showing some cool magical stuff, like paintings with real people in them,
and then focus on the clock, which would be like the Weasley family clock
from GoF that shows where each family member is. The hands that represent
James, Lily and Harry are all pointed at HOME. Suddenly -- OMINOUS MUSIC
-- there is a loud scary noise, a big black shadow creeping along the
hallway, and the hands on the clock turn to MORTAL DANGER........
