Year One: Dumbledore pulls his switcheroo

Year Two: no leaving feast mentioned. There is a special feast 
where Ron and Harry's four hundred points secure the House 
Cup for Gryffindor. There is  no mention of decorations or who 
was in the lead beforehand.

Year Three: Gryffindor takes the lead by winning the Quidditch 
Cup. The hall is decorated in scarlet and gold. No mention of 
last minute points.

Year Four: the hall is draped in black. No House Cup is 
awarded. The House Point totals are not given.<<<<<



Maybe it was traditional for the hall is decorate in the colours of the current holders of the cup for the feast (i.e. in PS Slytherin from the previous year) until the new holders, that year's winners are announced. 



Surely the scene in the celluloid thing soon to be out on DVD (I've seen th clip on TV) is not the trio discovering Nicolas Flamel's wizarding card, but Harry discovering his name on Dumbledore's card as in the books? That leaves it still open to debate as to whether he is a wizard or muggle.


Obviously a wet bank holiday and nothing better to do ... is there ever?
