To continue:

Next picture:
Harry and Hagrid head on train to London to buy school supplies; child
figurine in foreground

Next picture:
Hagrid and Harry descending stairs at Paddington Station stop, London
(audience member in foreground)

Next picture:
(SKIPPED - TOO DARK) Quirrel, seen above the half door entrance to the
Leaky Caldron

Next picture:
(SKIPPED - TOO DARK) Hagrid pokes a brick with his pink umbrella (here
is one place where I was impressed by attention to detail.  The umbrella
definitely looked faded and ratty.  I mean, Dayton's didn't just take
any old umbrella off the racks.  It looked as though Hagrid has been
using it during the recent rainstorms leading to floods.

Next picture:
Entrance to Gringotts

Next picture:
Harry goggles at the size of his Gringott's vault stash. You can see
Hagrid's hand gesturing. The stacked shiny things are dinnerplate-sized
coins.

Next:
Rather blurry: Draco and Harry stand side by side, being measured for
robes.  You can't see them, but the figure kneeling in front of Harry
has pins in her mouth (again, nice attention to detail).  Alas, I think
this was the only picture of Draco I got.

Next:
Dark and blurred: Harry trying wands in Mr. Ollivander's shop.  Hagrid
in background.

Next:
Close up of Mr. Ollivander

Next:
This one was cool.  Harry and Ron stand facing each other in front of
the wall between platforms nine and ten . . .

Next:
and then the turntables rotate, making the figures of Ron and Harry turn
to face the wall as the wall simultaneously parts, revealing Platform 9
3/4 and the Hogwarts Express.

Next:
Closeup of Ron

Next:
(SKIPPED -- TOO DARK) Far off view of Hogwarts

Next:
(SKIPPED -- TOO DARK) Professor McGonnagoll greets the first years.

Next:
Same picture, close up of Professor McGonnagoll

Next:
(SKIPPED: TOO DARK)  The Sorting Hat (the rip moves like a mouth).  It
looks worn and mended.  It was black on a black background (impossible
for the picture to turn out well)

Next:
Close up of Dumbledore at the Arrival Feast

Next:
Longer view of the Arrival Feast.  Hermione, Harry, Dumbledore.

Next:
Harry, Ron and Hermione silhouetted in front of the Fat Lady portrait.

Next:
Snape in potions class, Ron in foreground.

Next:
(SKIPPED - TOO DARK) Harry aloft (over the audience's heads) on his
broom, flying for the first  time.

Next:
In the forbidden corridor.  To the left: Harry, Ron and Hermione,
lunging, terrified, for the door. Center: Neville Longbottom.  To the
right: Fluffy.

Next:
Closeup.

That's it for the night!  Hope you all enjoy the pictures.  I have more
which I'll post later.
