> Also another thing that I did not think of til right now was, the way 
that they separated the seven Harrys. It was weird that they had placed 
Hermione and Ron with well established wizards, ( I mean not as 
bumbling) . They put Harry with Hagrid - did that seem a little off to 
anyone else?

Zara:
No, not to me. The decision not to have Harry on a broom seemed logical 
to me. Also, I don't agree with the characterization of Hagrid as less 
competent for this mission, compared to a lot of the competition for 
the job. Moody, sure, but Moody probably drew fire for just that 
reason. Kingsley, maybe, but Harry hardly knows him. I see no reason to 
suppose anyone else there would have been a better choice. Hagrid is 
extremely loyal, devoted to Harry, and he is a good man in a fight - 
his giant blood gives him a certain amount of immunity to spell damage 
that could have come in handy.
