rmAnd in real news from the real world.
Beverly Sills died. I met her several times in passing as a teenager doing work for the March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation (I worked both in the NYC office and at the national headquarters for a while, and was on their national youth board). She was gracious and will be missed.

Date: 2007-07-03 08:41 pm (UTC)Yes, I always wondered why Snape never used the word muggle or mudblood or halfblood, etc in the entire series. I found it rather peculiar. And of course, in CoS he refers to a matchbox but in GoF most of the wizards at the Quidditch World Cup found matches perplexing.
Snape would not use a magical flourish, I agree. It's a strong, bold, determined almost sexy move. Rickman could have pulled it off I think.
As for flourishes, though, I did have something of a fondness for the flippy 'do wig in the first two films. :0)
