Welcome gminks. Just a little heads-up... if anyone jumps on you for announcing it's your first post, please ignore them. It's nerve-wracking the first time you post, and IMO anyone who attacks you for introducing yourself is being a jerk. Don't take it personally.

I was all like "how crap"... and then I saw the snake-replacement, and I was amused.

What is the part after "Potter" saying? "Weasley"?

Also, eventually Snape ends up in a dress.

Potter, Potter, Potter, Potter,Potter, Potter, Potter, Potter

"Weasley, Weasley".....

So....funny.....

If you watch it for a while, Harry's wand turns into a glowstick. I'm not sure what's with Snape in the green nightgown, though.

yarmond: it's a reference to a scene in the 3rd book.

So, I watched this until somebody's clothes changed, and the magic wand turned into a glow-stick. One time I saw the ever-slightest of blips, and I took this as a cue that the movie was looping. You really could have fooled me, though. I don't get it.

The music track to this one is much improved over the original badger, at least in how long I'm willing to listen to it. It's been looping in the background and I still like it -- and you can, I think, time Snape's green dress by the music. Good find :)

Chealily - sorry for the uneeded snarkism. Apologies all around for phrasing it in a snarky way. Congrats on a first FPP that was cool, and let's all work on using capital letters?

If you want to see "get over yourself" check out the war that's been being waged on MeTa for the last 24 hours...

Welcome, gminks. I hate Potter, Potter, Potter almost as much as I hate Badger, Badger, Badger. Well done!

Well, its ok, but the Quidditch pitch is all wrong. Everyone knows that a proper Quidditch pitch has three goal posts at each end. Moreover Quidditch is played on an oval field with a single circular marking in the middle, not yard lines like a football field. Seriously, its one of the niftier badgers spinoffs I've seen.

thedevildancedlightly: that's at least the fourth time you've linked to Harvard Sucks since December 22nd. Is that your own site or are you just trying to boost its traffic? (See other links here, here, and here.)

By the way, what's the big deal with not using capital letters? Does it actually make posts easier to read....? or are you just moaning for the sake of moaning?
posted by knapah at 8:35 AM on January 6, 2005

I'd just like to point out that the music niftily integrates the movie theme.

[This is not good.]

But, welcome gminks. No harm, no foul.

and devildance, we're generally a little above caps callouts around here, just fyi.
