CV: I give you .... horses pulling carriages. Not *invisible* horses 
as it quite clearly says in the books, but clearly, horses. But 
we've gone over this a hundred times. The movie is not allowed on 
this list for a very good reason. It is not canon. In fact, it 
*violates* canon at times. And JKR's input into the movie, while 
kindly accepted, is not the final word. She can be overridden 
whenever the director desires. Like when there is a cool special 
effect which is already in the can. I'm just saying.

CV: um, yes. Cool special effect.

Also, is he is still around, where has he been for the 
> last five years? 


CV: where is he? I'm glad you asked! He is doing background work for 
Dumbledore, of course! I have my ideas where he most probably is. 
I'm betting somewhere in Scandinavia near Durmstrang. And don't 
point me to the Lexicon. In spite of all the nice research people 
have done, Durmstrang is in Scandinavia. JKR said so.

Why is he there? He is recruiting trolls and Durmstrang students. 
And working off his unicorn karma.

And is he likely to seek to be used again by 
> Voldemort when he had been so ruthlessly abandoned?

CV: I'm sorry? I don't understand this comment. The whole point is 
that Voldemort thinks he is dead. This is why Dumbledore would send 
him out as DDM!Quirrell. He would not be much use to Dumbledore if 
he revealed himself to Voldy.
