Shallow Harry Potter questions

[chicken]

1. Do people think Harry might have let his kids have use of the Marauder's Map once they started at Hogwart's? Or, as my wife said, does he use it to keep tabs on them while they are at school?

2. How much does canon actually hint at Voldemort and Bellatrix shagging, or is it all in my dirty, Helen Bonham Carter-obsessed mind?

3. The beaded bag -- I understand that it is like Grimmauld Place or the Knight's Bus in that it can scrunch things all down in defiance of the laws of physics, but still, how do you get something the size of Phineas Nigellus' painting into the purse in the first place? I understand how it can live in there, because it's very Tardis-like, bigger on the inside, and sort of black hole-y, but the sheer width/height thing on initial entry -- I mean, huh?? This purse is supposed to be small enough to fit in Hermione's sock!?!

It does seem crazy that she fit the picture in the bag. Maybe it started shrinking as soon as she stuck just the tip of the corner in.

So how do you imagine the special effects people will manifest this? It sounds seriously complicated to realize.

Well, they'll hire a very talented witch or warlock to do it, of course. Hah hah. They'll CGI it, somehow. Have you seen Ratatouille? The special effects in that show are just amazing. The rats' fur looked real and you could see very realistic water dribbling off them. Wild. I went with a real guy guy, and he was just freaking out over the animation in that movie. He ranted for a good hour after we left the theater about all the amazing effects.
