Firebolt asked: "My question was: if all the Houses have different colors of
trim on their sweaters in the movie, how would Ron and Harry mistake
Penelope for a Slytherin if she was wearing blue trim instead of green? This
may sound nitpicky, but hey, if we're going to pick apart the books, let's
pick apart the movie..."

When Ron and Harry meet Penelope it is during a school holiday. I would
assume that during the holidays, especially a it is Christmas day, that the
students would not have to wear all of the school uniform. Thus, it is
possible for Penelope not to be wearing any item of clothing that
distinguishes her house.

I am all for picking the films apart. It gives us something to do in our
spare time - which I spent discussing the books! <g>

that this would be better dealt with separately)
