***SPOILER ALERT***

The movies are indeed:
"Highlights from Harry Potter."
Now, with added shrunken heads of wtf.
In total offa my lawn mode, it just grinds my guts that such a richly populated universe, filled with so much detail that it will spill over into an encyclopedia, gets adulterated in the movies with seemingly random rubbish.
t /still bitter about the scar getting moved for no apparent reason.
In which movie did his scar move? I know there was one point in Azkaban where it appeared it moved, but it was because they were filming his reflection in the wardrobe with the Boggert.
I have not seen OoTP. I might see it tomorrow, so if it's there, let me know, so I will know when to look.
ETA: unless you are talking about the move from a central scar to a side scar between the book illustrations and the movie. I'll have to read the first book again. I don't recall if she wrote exactly where the scar was. I do know the original illustrations were very cartoony.
Happy Anniversary, Sheryl and DH!
BTW, Sheryl, check your email. I'm in St. Louis these days, so I sent you my contact info just in case you wanted to try to meet up (time permitting, of course).

I think that's what she means. I don't recall there ever being a place mentioned where the scar is located. Just "on his forehead".

Right. And Right Again about the location not being mentioned in writing, but the illustrations show it in the middle...I assumed it was in the middle...as did every kid I saw dressed up as Harry at the book release parties...just me, being cranky.
Tee hee.
That is exactly what I needed to hear after 3 days of Master Level Crank.
No cranky for m!
I have a question and I need to know if anyone else has the same experience.
In the movies, when Cho Chang speaks, does it throw in a disconnect?
I never imagined her with a Scottish accent. It does take me right out of the scene when she opens her mouth. The actress, however, is even prettier than I imagined the character in my head.
Ok, good. Not just me. That accent throws me off every. single. time.
Cho herself is beautiful. That accent? Just seems so out of place, kinda.
