Slytherin robs, since Crabbe and Goyle are bigger then
H&R so they would need bigger robes then their robes.
Plus since we know that the house elfs do everything
else, we have assume they would put the patches on if
they weren't magical put on anyway.  I do like the
magical idea though, since it makes it seem like the
sorting hat has another job, when he states which
house, that would also cause the patch to go on the
robe each child is wearing.

However, just a thought... it's true that the first
time coded master edit of the film was just under 4
hours so if you want everything, you'll just have to
wait for the DVD.  Also, simple things like chairs vs
benches is just silly... does it really matter if
there are chairs or benches.  Plus, if you don't want
to go see the movie bc you are afraid of the changes
then don't go, just don't try and ruin it for the rest
of us.  Remember, if you had the ablity to turn the
books into movies, your views would be different then
mine/Columbus/JKR.  Plus, we don't know what JKR has
told Columbus about book 5-7.  Also, if you had a
chance to read the Entertainment Weekly that came out
probably mid Sept, you would remember Robbie Coltrane
(Hagraid in the film) told the interviewer that JKR
told him secrets that he wouldn't even share w/ his
child, so maybe there is more, that we don't know
about.  Remember that.  Plus, according to MSNBC.com
the only complaint the 400 lucky viewers of the film,
was that it was not long enough at 2 hours and
20somthing minutes, so maybe even for the theatrical
release will end up having all 4 hours and an
intermission so theatres can get the film goers to go
buy more pop corn and drinks!  

I guess all I'm asking, since I am a film/tv/radio
student, don't boo something until you see it, because
you never know what will help more children to read
more, which let's be honest in the end, a good story
(Which we already have) and a reason for more kids to
read are the most important things behind these books,
not the movies, not our chatting, just good stories
and a way to get more kids to read, so do the
important thing, read to your kids or if you don't
have kids, find time to go to your local library and
help out during story time or do something.  Because
if you don't help our children to read and learn good
vs evil, we may never overcome the evil that is going
on in our world today.  Please remeber do anything you
can to help.  And enjoy what ever way you enjoy HP.

I want to aplogize for going off, but these posts
about what is already wrong with the movie is taking
away from the fact that these are very wonderful
stories!!!  Once the movie's out, then complain, don't
now, now just help others and try to remember there
are a lot worse things going on the world then whether
or not HP had chairs or benches.

Sorry, I just am very upset since I found out a very
good friend is going off to .... somewhere unknown...
and that scares the living S*** out of me!

If you wish to complain to me, you are free to email
me @ animalsbaby_1999 at yahoo.com

Love ya, or dislike me, after that,
Thanks,
