Pat replies:

Actually, I haven't seen it discussed on the list, at least not for the 
last six months or so!  My impression of "where the scar goes" is that 
JKR TOLD the movie people where to put it.  Can anyone dig up the 
interview?  I can't imagine that they would place the scar on the actor 
Harry without her input, with as much control as she had over the movie. 
 Why wouldn't they?  Third eye or not, over his right eye is where she 
wanted it to be.  I rather like it there, myself.  Mary GrandPre's 
interpretation of it bugs me.  Of course, my second son has a scar over 
his eye, too, so maybe that's why I like it!   Pat
