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!?!

1. He definitely kept it for himself to be able to keep an eye on his kids. I mean, seriously, sounds like James is very much like his grandfather, or even more like Fred and George. Oh Fred. *sobs*

2. I think it's in your dirty Helen Bonham-Carter obsessed mind. But that doesn't mean they weren't!

3. Yeah, that did bug me but then I decided it was like Merlin packing in Disney's The Sword In The Stone. Magic, it's a funny thing. *g*

1. Fred! Argh. Somehow I cried more over Dobby, who knows why.

2. Curses on "Fight Club". I'll never be the same after that film, vis-a-vis Helena Bonham Carter.

1) I think Harry would be cool enough to slip the map to one of his kids. Why would get to have all the fun. Or George pinched it for some of the kids.

2) She worshipped him. I can imagine they probably did the dirty.

3) 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.

I just read Fight Club recently. Is the movie better than the book. I thought the book was great. Very strange, but great.

My number four.
4) What was that thing crying in the cage when Dumbledore and Harry were talking. I was very sleep-deprived when I read the book. Was that explained? Was that Voldemort's damaged soul?

I never read the book -- only saw the movie version of 'Fight Club'. Loved it. Edward Norton was brilliant, Helena was mad crazy sexy, even Brad Pitt was good.

I think the thing in the cage was indeed Voldemort's damaged soul fragment.

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.

From The Leaky Cauldron:

Courtney: What child did harry give the marauders map to if any

J.K. Rowling: I’ve got a feeling he didn’t give it to any of them, but that James sneaked it out of his father’s desk one day.

Questions

[murraytodd.livejournal.com]

1. Not only does Harry not give his kids the map, but he whines and obsesses that the children are keeping secrets from him and suspects they don't trust him.

2. That's one of the x-rated spin-offs being planned. (If it gets green-lighted, it'll be the cutting-edge first in CGI porn.)

3. You obviously HAVEN'T watched a Bugs Bunny (Looney Tunes) cartoon recently or you wouldn't have had to ask.

1. Yes, apparently that is the fate of all parents. ;-)

2. Hopefully these x-rated spin-offs will include flashbacks of Lupin and Sirius. Or is that just me, too? I'm very shallow.

3. Yes, I have -- one of my favorites is Bugs Bunny's 'flesh pockets' -- the way the fur on the sides of his torso suddenly manifest convenient trouser-like pockets, from which he can sometimes pull some rather large, un-rabbity objects.!!
