After some consideration about the Red Baron and the Bloody Baron (I 
think the Red Baron was killed because he had his picture taken 
before a mission which went against the superstition.. unless I'm 
putting the wrong death to the wrong name :]), heh, maybe there 
wasn't supposed to be a connection after all. Tsk, tsk. 

About Peeves, I am not so sure that he would be a very important 
character. The omission of Peeves in the movie (aye, movietalk should 
be done in the other group but it fits in here, please?) should point 
to something, and though the movie can't possibly be a reliable 
source to base suspicions on, I should say that if there was a 
conscious decision to leave Peeves out (well, he was afterall left 
out because he wasn't 'nice-looking' enough) and not worry about the 
repercussions in the sequels, must say something about the character. 

Or perhaps, since Peeves doesn't really do much in the first four 
books, there are still plenty of chances to build him up in the 
second/third sequel. Ah, why do I get the feeling that I've just 
stuck my foot in my mouth? 


Unplottable issue:
I forgot which post it was and I can't refer to it.. please forgive 
me, I am in a different timezone which means that I get swamped by 
messages (4 digests!) every morning. 

Someone said something about the various magical schools being 
unplottable and also some forests being so for the protection of 
magical beasts/animals, and therefore 'invisible' to all including 
the wizarding community, but then if Hogwarts is unplottable (is 
it?), how do Harry and Ron find the school at all when they were 
flying (the car) there? 



siew.
who is finding parallels between the Fidelius Charm and The Mirror of 
Erised.. excuse me.
