I remember a batch of books had the wrong order for James and Lily appearing out of the wand in the graveyard, but I don't recall the one you've mentioned. :\


Question - when are we ok to start using HP6 quotes in our sigs without getting complained at? Has everyone had long enough to read the book yet? It's been 11 days...

I KNOW! I am itching to put some in M! I have 4 Radio 1 quotes, I'm getting desperate now......

Well I happen to know for a fact that a particular forum member, who hates spoilers probably more than anyone else is waiting till the book comes out in paperback before she buys it.

There may be some other weird people out there who can *wait* but wouldnt care for spoilers in sigs. I know that might mean waiting forever though.

Hmmm, bored.....picture from GoF!

Inside the Weasley tent for the Quidditch World Cup

It looks like a dolls house.

My sister saw a trailer for it when she went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. She says it looks FAB!

She did?!!! I never! I saw lots of cool ones but not that one! *cries*....................I've seen it about 5 times anyway though, lol, I found the website and watched it there, it's awwwwwweeesome!!!! I can't waaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiit!!

OK, he's laid on the sofa?!?!.......

The Egg looks like it has engraving on it, on the bottom. Can anyone else see it?

^ Same here Clare, I didn't expect him to look like that at all....but ahh well, if Brendon Gleeson (thats his name isn't it? who's playing him?) can pull it off then I can live with the weirdness of the appearance.

I saw a pic of voldemort somewhere and i was disappointed. he just looked like ralph fiennes with red eyes, he looked scarier in schindlers list.

I don't want to see a picture of him until the film. I don't wanna ruin it.

Fi, bear in mind they have to keep it as a PG certificate, wouldn't want to go scaring all the little kiddy winkles now would they?!

No, there are a lot scarier things that are in PG films. They can do better with Voldemort.

It's not that photoshopped one that's going around, is it? There's one someone's put together that's basically Darth Maul with Ralph's face stuck onto it, and the eyes coloured in red - if it's that pic, it's not the real thing.

aha! I think that could be it.

Thank you M.

Here's the link to the pic mentioned above, for anyone who's not seen it and is interested:

There's this one as well, which is a decent attempt, IMO:

I've been keeping an eye out for the real thing, but nothing has appeared yet, I suspect (and hope) it'll be kept a secret.

Me too. I really hope they keep his appearance a secret until people actually see it *in* the film. Cos of course, when they see it in the film it won't be a secret anymore. But I mean I don't want them to start putting pics in the tabloids and showing everyone what he looks like before we see it in the film cos it'd ruin it.

Question - does anyone know what the music is they used for the Boggart scene in film 3?

I've read 3 different possibilities so far - 'Sing Sing Sing' by Benny Goodman, or 'Swing Swing Swing' by either Mark Snow(? X files guy) or John Williams.

Anyone know which, if any of those, it is? :\

does anyone know what house Moaning Myrtle was in?

Hmm, I've been reading a discussion about this at IMDB - there's a colour pic of Myrtle and she's wearing a blue tie, which would indicate Ravenclaw. But it might just be that blue was the best colour to use due to having to make *all* of her blue later.

She was a mudblood though, according to Malfoy, so almost certainly not Slytherin, unless she slipped in unnoticed.

Then again, a lot of people seem to have assumed Hufflepuff because she's got no real drive/ambition/bravery about her.

I don't think it's ever been mentioned in the books or the films though.

Spoilery.....



I think she might be helping Malfoy because she likes to have visitors to talk to - and she was teased at school, so maybe Malfoy being so unhappy in his situation (bully-Voldemort on his back all the time) reminds her of herself a bit?

Heh, has anyone seen Sin City? If so, don't ya think that the creepy thing that Elijah Wood plays (with the really smooth face, creepy smile and the white glasses) looks like Harry Potter? It's really freaky!

Just a thought. It's slightly relevant.

Double postage

I found a photo to show what I mean!

scary!

I absolutely loove Sin City, one of the coolest films ever! Elijah Wood happens to play one of my fave characters just because he is so damn creepy!!

I never actually noticed the resemblance to Harry Potter, but now you mention it, I can see what you're talking about! Let's just hope Harry doesn't have the same fate.

New GoF footage can be found here (this isn't the teaser trailer that's been hanging around a while now, it's something else).

It's such a good film isn't it! I loved it. The way it's filmed just makes it so different, with the black and white and splashes of colour.

His character really is sooo creepy! Like the way that when what's left of him is being eaten by a huge great wolf he just keeps smiling, and even when his head gets cut off. Urgh. Very different from Frodo.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees the resemblance.
