"These designs, by the way, are absolutely beautiful heraldry, and are
the only correct ones in canon. Those modern "logo-style" nightmares
they've come up with, with the outlines of the animal over 
multicolored fields, etc., are movie-products, designed for modern 
eyes, and ugly as sin. Not to mention their contrast is lousy, and 
heraldry was for Identification At A Distance."

--Well it's good to know that they've gotten something right. I don't 
know but I always thought that the horrid "logo-style" things were 
Quidditch Team logo's not house symbols. If that's true then you can 
calm down. 

"Any questions? Comments? General pleas to shut up?"

--On the contrary. This was interesting, and besides this list is 
only fun because everyone brings their own interests to it.  
 
"Scones and clotted cream all round; my place at 4, okay?"

--NOT FAIR!!! I wish I could come over for tea(?). I do make scones 
on occasion, but I can't get clotted cream and I would so love the 
authentic stuff.


Amanda (can you tell I'm a herald in a medieval group?) 

--Yes.
