lyricalnightsI'm watching the dueling scene from CoS...mmm, Snape...anyway, I'm wondering why they had the two Slytherins holding their wands in the opposite of way as the Harry and Lockhart, who hold theirs in the manner of a traditional fencing foil. I know it probably doesn't have any meaning whatsoever, but if it did, I wonder how dueling form is considered among different levels of wizarding society. Ok, wank over.
Also, having major issues with the handling of the Parseltongue sequence. I know they're going for entertainment value here, but the little things really would make such a difference, such as making Harry a little more surprised and a little less stoned looking when he all of the sudden lurches forward to hiss. Also, he seemingly knows he did something odd, but then says he had no clue that he hadn't spoken in English. I will NOT get annoyed at book to movie discontinuity, I will NOT get annoyed at book to movie discontinuity.
Before this I was watching Brassed Off, and I had no clue that its one of Pete Postlewaite's lines from there that Chumbawumba samples at the beginning of 'Tupthumping.' I actually couldn't ID where I had heard it before, but a review of the movie mentioned it and I went "OHH!" Great movie, BTW.
