This Quicktime stuff is going to drive me bats.  I just spent an hour 
and a half downloading the hi-res version, or so I thought.  It is 
worse quality than the lo-res (although overall focus is better, so 
here and there I can see things I couldn't catch before), and not only 
that, it didn't really download as a permanent file.  It's just within 
Netscape, and I have the horrible feeling it'll vanish for good once I 
log off.

Not an HP book, I trust!

You know, *none* of the spoken stuff is strictly canon (the letter 
isn't from Dumbledore, Vernon never says "there's no such thing as 
magic"--unless I'm forgetting--and Hagrid never says "you're the boy 
who lived"), but I don't even care.  I'm even going to let up on the 
"boy who lived" thing (audible sighs of relief from list).  I will be 
sad if the screaming scene puzzle means we're not going to see Neville 
in his pajamas <g>, but right now the movie looks really, really good 
to me.  I'll let up on John Williams too.  I think Dai hit it on the 
head when he said he thought it was generic--I thought it sounded 
straight out of The Witches of Eastwick, another JW score--but it has 
a magical/happy/creepy feel that matches the book, IMO, so JW, you 
just go on and do your generic stuff!  Tralalalalala!

I think I'm going to have to go to the movie alone.  My dh, if so 
inclined, can come along the second time.  The first time, like 
Doreen, I'm going to sit there all afternoon (haven't done that since 
I was 9 and watched Star Wars back-to-back for one buck).  And if I go 
with anyone else, I'll just make a fool out of myself gushing.

Parker:  You can probably enlarge your Quicktime screen.  
Right-clicking on it should yield a Zoom option.

He might just still be holding it from when Wood released the 
bludgers.  Also, with the shots spliced in from different scenes, we 
can't draw any conclusions.

He's supposed to look bad!  We love him bad!  I thought he was *bad* 
in every sense of the word:  evil bad, good bad, and 
looks-good-in-leather-pants bad.

AD is described as having a low voice, though Jim Dale's John Houseman 
impression works for me too, and it's higher than Harris's voice here.

We've known for months that Ron is too short.  He doesn't fit my 
mental picture at all, but if they found a good actor I'll live with 
it, much as I like my own image of a short Harry and tall, lanky Ron 
walking the corridors together.  Face it, most redheads look like 
Rupert Grint--round faces, short noses.

long-nosed redhead who read too late that the trailer would show up on 
Entertainment Tonight last night...why didn't I think of that?  
Videotaping would be so much easier than this insanity...
