[HPforGrownups] Images from the movie

[Simon]

No: HPFGUIDX 12898

Liz: "I'm inclined to agree with you on that. I can't quite make out the
picture, but it's certainly yellow (Hufflepuff colour, correct?), and its
also quite different from the top bit of the crest we can see on Hermiones
robes, which is red (Gryffindor). I don't recall anything about house crests
on robes in the books though???"

To muddy the waters a bit more. He is wearing a tie that seems to be
identical to the one that Hermione and the boys are wearing. I.e. gold and
red - the Gryffindor colours. The crest on Hermione's robes is the same as
the one on Harry's in the picture of him and Ron. Even there it is difficult
to make out what exactly it is.

House colours:
Slytherin - Green and Silver
Ravenclaw - Blue and Bronze (?)
Hufflepuff - Yellow and Black


None of these are right for the tie on the person in question. We also
notice that the sorting hat picture shows Hermione with a black tie and no
crest, suggesting that they are added later (magically after people have
been sorted?).



Steve: "How many teachers could there be at that head table? I figure there
are probably two spots that we can't see between Quirrell and Dumbledore,
and there Snape and some other guy (Flitwick?)beyond Quirrell toward the
outside, which makes a total of 6 in the visible expanse of table: unknown
(Flitwick?), Snape, Quirrell, (hidden), (hidden), Dumbledore. Since we know
Albus sits in the middle of the table, does that mean that there are only 11
teachers at the head table? That ties in with the number Harry sees when he
looks along the table at the Start of Term Feast in GF. There is no second
table behind the first. So the total number of teachers is very small, at
least in the movie. That's one more reason to suspect that the number of
students is much less than 1000, as JKR mentioned once."

I decided that being generous on the number of teachers we could possibly
get to around 20 at the head table. This is the start of year feast so most
of them will be there, with the exception of Trelawney (and her foggy inner
eye). Still no where near the 100 that you would need for a school that
side, when they are mainly taught in class sizes of 10.



"Jen (who now that Simon has mentioned it, has started to worry again)"

Sorry - didn't mean to get people worried. I am already worried and whenever
I see some of the pictures I seem to be able to find faults with them that I
feel should be pointed out.
