Potioncat here, not responding to one  particular post, but to the 
thread. What we have here is a failure to communicate...oops, wrong 
movie, and I never saw it anyway.

What we have here is a jigsaw puzzle. The pieces are scattered on the 
table and came from a brown box labeled "The Prank". We're all 
standing around trying to put the blooming thing together. But there 
are several problems:

Well, for one, we like to argue. 

We don't know what the finished picture will look like. We have an 
idea, but we don't agree to the details. We don't even agree on how 
big it is.

We know pieces are missing, but we aren't sure how many. We think we 
know which pieces it is, but we aren't sure of the shape or how they 
actually fit.

We think some of the pieces are in boxes labeled "The Pensieve 
Incident" or "The Shrieking Shack" and more but again we aren't sure, 
nor do we agree on how they fit.

Some of us think there are extra pieces in our box that don't really 
belong. So some of us want to toss them out or at least take them off 
the table. Then of course, every now and then, a few pieces fall to 
the floor and we struggle along without them until another person 
points them out. 

Some of us have made pieces out of construction paper and glue. 
They're pretty good actually and they fit, sort of. But we've had 
them so long and used them so often, that we've forgotten they aren't 
part of the original contents of the box and might not be true to the 
picture.

It's a heck of a way to spend a rainy afternoon! With any luck, we'll 
find more pieces in a very big box labeled, HBP. But I'm sort of 
hoping not all the pieces are in there either.
