fox: flying anglia: second star to the right and straight on till morning. (anglia)
i know people have mentioned this before, but it entertains me, so i'm bringing it up again. yay, dvd.

snape: a girl has been snatched by the monster, lockhart. your moment has come at last.

lockhart: m-my mo-moment?

snape: weren't you saying just last night that you've known all along where the entrance to the chamber of secrets is?

corresponding scene from the book, since i'm (a) a completist and (b) conservative of canon: )

yes, so, that's much less interesting. film!snape says "weren't you saying just last night ..." and tired-of-schoolwork!fox says was he, now. heh.

edited to add more dvd thoughts:
does it look to anyone else like ron's robe is a little greyer than harry's and hermione's? yay, costume details, putting the weasley boy in a hand-me-down.

the wand-holsters lockhart and lucius malfoy have just make me laugh every time. i don't think that's supposed to be the reaction, but, dude. it's like someone really wants the wand to be a sword, or even a dagger, and it's just not ...

both films so far have been an utter waste of john cleese. i hope this will be remedied in future, and i hope that's why he hasn't walked off the project in disgust.

it's really a bummer, given the way they decided to end CoS, that not one student gets up on the table and says "o! captain! my captain!" maybe one of the older kid-actors did during the set-up, in an outtake we'll never see.

two good news items, actually.

1. prof. assures me that, although i've missed probably more history of english classes than i've attended (this is what i'm saying -- he doesn't keep attendance, praise whomever), i'm up-to-date with assignments to be handed in and there's nothing more i need to do to catch up, as far as he's concerned. this is all to the good, because the last thing i needed was a non-A in a course that's a complete cakewalk.

2. after a dose of pepto and two of anti-spasmodics, my stomach seems to have settled, or at least to have withdrawn and be re-planning its strategy. thank god.
