(SNIP of other well written posts...sorry)

Carol:
What strikes me as odd (besides the idea of cabbage as "flesh") is
that Hagrid would need to go to Knockturn Alley to buy flesh-eating
slug *repellant.* Now if he wanted to buy the slugs themselves,
Knockturn Alley would be the very place for such obviously Dark
creatures. But you'd think he could buy the repellant in Diagon
Alley--defense against Dark creatures as opposed to the dark creatures
themselves.
Anyway, I don't think Hagrid is a bad guy, but that particular story
has always smelled fishy to me.


Miranda here:

What if this is the moment in COS that Kloves had to keep in... it's in the movie, and I've always thought Coltrane's line delivery emphasized what seems like a lie... just the way he said it... i mean, Hagrid didn't have to be there, Harry could've wandered out of Knockturn Alley on his own, or seen the Weasley's or Hermione who were looking for him or something... any thoughts?  Could this mean Hagrid is up to something?  Perhaps even... ESE?

Miranda (who likes Hagrid somewhat, but found him more and more annyoing as OotP went on)
