CoS DVD

Okay, I gave in. I only lasted three days.

Deleted scenes were interesting (okay some of them were completely pointless and I can see why they were deleted), but Hermione and Harry's discussion about the diary and Ron's recollection of the trophy (plus the highly amusing ghost!)put the diary scene into context. I had thought it was rather stupid that Harry asked the diary about the Chamber straight away, but now we see why.
Borgin and Burkes: pure class! I love the Malfoys - both of them!

Interview with JK and Steve Kloves was also interesting. She mentioned 'something' which she had asked them to keep in. Surely the Hand of Glory? And she loves Sirius and Lupin. Yay - maybe we will get more and more of them.

Dan Radcliffe and Tom Felton: oh how cute can they get? bless them.
Tom's 'well my friends talked about it for a week but that was it really'. And Dan's desciption of everyone as 'really funny'. How could they possibly think interviewing them was going to be enlightening? But entertaining? - we all like pretty boys don't we?

Greatest irritations (besides the girl who plays Ginny!) were a distinct lack of extra Tom Riddle scenes and the fact that in the little quiz on spells they stick to the film - where some of the spells have been altered. You have to pick from a list what the spell will do: but for finite incantatem there in no mention of the spell ending - the answer is 'the bludger explodes' - which it shouldn't. And Lockhart isn't disarmed by Snape's Expelliarmus, just blown backwards.

But griping over, great to have it, and I'm happy, and just waiting for the next film!!
