From the script for HBP:

Slughorn, with practiced ease, mixes a concoction of powders and potions into a goblet while Ron peers into a mirror. As he paces, Harry passes “the shelf” and finds, front and center, a PHOTOGRAPH of himself and Slughorn -- the one taken at the Christmas party. In deep b.g. is photograph of Snape, as a young student, clutching his POTIONS TEXTBOOK.

SLUGHORN
I’d have thought you could whip up a remedy for this in no time, Harry -- an expert potioneer like you.

HARRY
I figured this called for a more practiced hand, sir.

I was excited to get hands on the DVD finally because I thought I could freeze-frame it and finally find this, but IT'S NOT THERE. Slughorn's shelf isn't in this scene at all as far as I can tell, and it's far too far away in an earlier scene ("Did Voldemort ever get on the shelf, sir?") to tell hardly anything at all about the pictures except that they contain people and someone's riding a broom in one of them. Grr. I'll have to actually watch the film and see where else the shelf appears, if anywhere, but I'm annoyed about this. Not only does it mean lack of young Severus (who ought to be there; Alec Hopkins did do the tiny bit of filming required, AFAIK) but Regulus too, who was supposed to appear in a photo like this, I thought.

Did anyone else actually find this, and could tell me where to look? (hh:mm:ss would be helpful, if so)

edit: I'd forgotten Regulus appears in the Slytherin Quidditch photo near the beginning of the film, so yay for that, even if we don't see him again. Any clues on Severus, though?

Oh my, just please go look at this Severus/Hermione near-kiss by pennswoods. I gasped out loud. I know, I know -- who am I and what have I done with arcanetrivia? But if you're like me and can ignore your usual distaste for the pairing, do yourself a favour and click.

the goggles, they do nothing!

virginal syrup n. Extremely unsexy phrase to describe a teenaged girl's sexual wetness. Do not use in your detention fic which I was vaguely enjoying despite myself as I do not wish to have to invoke hysterical laughter just to defend my own sanity and have not yet mastered the subtle science and exact art of UN-SEEING THINGS. kthxbai.

Does anyone happen to have a higher-res version of the picture of Tom Riddle I used here, or know where I could download one? The biggest I can find is 350x712, which is probably the one I cropped from at that link. It would be great if it were about 1400 pixels high, since I will need to crop it the same way and I want it to be enough left over that it will print decently on 8.5x11, but anything bigger than 712 would be helpful. My goal here is to make a bigger version to print out and pin up alongside this in my office (since I work in a library).

Disclaimer: Do not take too seriously; I am not necessarily saying the fics in question are bad ones. Sometimes they are horrible, but more often they are just mediocre, and sometimes quite okay, but they all had something in their summaries that I found goofy, misused, or amusing in some other way.

Hermione and Draco are head boy and girl. Draco shows his other side.

"Ooh... nice ass, Malfoy!"

Songfic. Gloomy Sunday Billie Holiday version . Sirius is dead, and Harry longs to be with him. Slash directly stated. M just in case. Depression, character death, suicide, depression, etc.

Also angst, depression, ennui, unhappiness, and depression. Written by Marvin. (Fanfic, don't talk to me about fanfic...)

She didn't know that she would ever be called back, didn't know that her grandmother's status would ever come back and reflect upon her and she certainly didn't know that she could enthrall the Queen's Hound.

Snausages: works every time.
