SML: "I got the 22 MB avi file from the UK - the one that plays on Windows
Media Player -- it plays quite smoothly, but I have 128 MB of RAM, thank
heaven."
Dennis: "I downloaded (DSL at work) the Philosopher's Stone Version, 30
Megs in AVI format."

Where are these files from? The WMP/avi files I have found have only been
quite small.

Heidi: <<<I watched the end of the trailer very carefully on the highest
resolution possible, and I am convinced that Hagrid's mouth movements and
words do NOT match up when he says, "Harry, you're the boy who lived" - it
looks like he's saying the line from the book - "Harry, you're a wizard!"
but I wouldn't bet gryffindor's sword on it... If someone who is better
than me at lip reading could check it out, that would be great.>>>

I have also watched this scene again and again, but the beard is in the way
for me to tell anything conclusive.


Heidi: "On a different screen-freezing note, the only part of the trailer
where it looks like harry's hair is off his forehead is the bit when the
Bludger is released from the strap. Has anyone been able to freeze that bit
so we can see if the scar is visible?"

I have done a freeze frame of this bit and it is not clear enough to tell.
The whole bit of his head being thrown back takes 12 frames.
The first three have his head moving slowly up with his fringe covering his
forehead.
Numbers 4 and 5 have his forehead off shot.
Number 6, 7 and 8 are just not clear enough to tell. With number 6 being
the best possibility, but I could see nothing that was clear enough to tell
off.
The last 5 have his head tilted too far back to tell.
