There didn't have to be a broom in the package.

--- I said (about the mistakes in the movie):

>>* Hagrid's house should be wood not
>>stone.

To which Marcus replied:

>It looks like stone from the outside.

>The internal supports? 

And I respond:
"Hagrid lived in a small wooden house on the edge of the forbidden
forest."
[SS Chap 8:  The Potions Master (p. 140 US pbk)]

That reads (to me) as if the house is made of wood and you can tell
that from the outside.

--- Again about the movie, I complained

>>* Robes aren't the right kind.

And Marcus asked:

>What are the right kind and why are
>these wrong?

And I say:
The easiest way is to look at the Starfish and Stick illustration in
QTTA which JKR drew herself.

1.  I am wary of the movie because there seems to be no discernible
reason for some of the changes.  I haven't, as yet, decided whether
I'll see it.

2.  I am *not* trying to ruin anything for anyone.  I apologize if any
of my posts gave that impression.  It was not intended.

3.  I don't quite understand why you think discussing the 'errors' in
the movie takes away from the stories.  It is *because* these stories
are so wonderful that we pay such close attention to the details.

4.  Perhaps you'd be happier if you skip any posts with MOVIE in the
subject line?
