Talisman:

Hey Dung.  

Based on Ron and Hermione especially, and the way stuff in the 
foreground seems to be flying up, it seems to me that they are being 
sucked backward...er...through the rear orifice.

Now, if Ron and Hermione are merely leaning in, then I suppose it  
makes sense that their hair is hanging forward.  But if they are 
falling, I'd expect it to fly back.

Harry's the only one with some of his hair going up--and, well, he's 
supposed to have problems in that regard, isn't he?

The picture looks a bit too dynamic to interpret them as just leaning 
in; they are all in motion and no one seems in control of their 
posture.

Coins do seem to be flying up, where no one has yet impacted--though 
that could be avalanche effect, I suppose. 

I'm not saying that *falling through* isn't more sensible than being 
*sucked out* (though some vacuum action could be an ancient 
protection against tomb-raiders) I'm just saying I've got issues with 
that hair... ==:)
