'sorcerer's stone' video

We watched the movie on video recently, and I've got to say it worked better with the different level of expectations.

I still think parts were rushed, but the characterization came off better than I had realized, particularly with Snape. Our video contains two cut scenes I wish they had kept -- one if the full-length scene in Snape's potions class where he sets out to humiliate Harry, and the second is set in the dining hall, where they look at the back of the Dumbledore trading card and learn about Nicolas Flamel.

That worked much better than Hermione just pulling out the book out of nowhere like they did in the movie.
