Oh my, The Onion must have a spy on this list.  They don't even have to 
parody us--we really say these things!

Gwen commented, in a post calculated to make her the next president of 
L.O.O.N.:

>Has anyone else noticed that the nails on his left hand are long and 
>pointy?
>Almost femininely manicured. The right hand is closely trimmed.

He must be a guitar player, one who switched the strings a la Paul McCartney 
so that he strums with his left.

I have a nitpick to add.  In canon, Goyle has spiky hair and Crabbe has a 
pudding-bowl haircut.  One of these boys has curly hair, so the pudding-bowl 
thing isn't going to work, but shouldn't he at least be Crabbe so Goyle can 
be the one with the low hairline and crew cut?  The casting must've been 
fairly random, given that their personalities are identical, so they could 
have swapped them easily.  Now that's a gauntlet.  Bring on the posts 
explaining the differences between Crabbe and Goyle!

On a related point, I agree with George_Weasleys_Girlfriend's analysis and 
others that have pointed out that taken all in all, George is the kinder, 
gentler twin.  This shows in the Quidditch team picture, don't you think?

As for the lack of robes, I share Kelly's fear but continue to hope that 
they will have robes on over their gear when they actually play.  Someone 
who has the poster book might be able to relieve our anxiety on this point 
<g>.

relieved that they wear more than a t-shirt and sweats under their robes 
when they go head-to-head with a Bludger, not to mention a Slytherin Chaser

are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are  divided.
  "Lord Voldemort's gift for spreading discord and enmity is very   great.  
We can fight it only by showing an equally strong bond of   friendship and 
trust.  Differences of habit and language are nothing  at all if our aims 
are identical and our hearts are open."
