In response to everybody's effects questions I read somewhere that Cinesite is the effects house for the 3rd one. They did some work on Chamber as well as Fellowship and were the primary house for the 1st Tomb Raider.

Thanks for the info DVDGUY!! I'm really pleased to hear this. I thought the scenes in the first one with Quidditch and the troll were some of the worst I've seen. I guess WB knows it'll make money, so they need to invest more money in better companies. However, it's possibly that this Cinesite was busy w/ the first two LotR films and couldn't committ to Potter.

I agree...the effects in the 1st one were horrible. They were rushed and done by Sony Imageworks...I have never been a fan of theirs. ILM was the primary house for Chamber but they outsourced some of the shots to Cinesite. For LOTR Weta Digital was the primary effects house but also outsourced some of the work to Cinesite. I do not know which scenes for Two Towers but in Fellowship Cinesite did the scene where Arwen is in the river facing the black riders and...well you know what happens next.

I'm not really sure if this is something they'd do or not (if I'm even correct), but I could have sworn the super huge pumpkins were in book two. However, they were nowhere to be seen in the COS film. Yet, when I was looking through pictures from the set of PoA I could have sworn I saw Hagrid walking with Hermione through a pumpkin patch.
Did they transplant a scene, or do I just have my books mixed up?

My Choices
Personally I pcitured Joseph Finnes playing the part of Professor Lupin. he just has this aura about him. I aslo think that Derek Jacobi would have been great playing Sirius Black.
