[quote user="vsmith"] <DIV>Hehehe I loved it, especially the UP logo on the tender, wonder if Uncle Pete will sue them over that????  My wife was getting POd at me for pointing out all the errors in the film...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Simple reason WHY they did what they did......$$$$</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The entire movie was filmed in England, all the French towns..were English, so were the Estates and the RRs, If you look carefully ..You can CLEARLY see the nameplate on the side of the loco, I wrote it down but lost it, its an English excursion engine, a 4-6-0, its the same engine as Hogswart I believe...and its the same train in both the USA and Paris scenes, like they couldnt have afforded to send a small crew to a small excursion line here in the US to shoot one scene???</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyone also notice that the Zeppelin was flying WAY too low and in daylight? They would NEVER do that, not even with 100 escorts, a half-blind monkey at an AA battery could knock it out at that altitude. When they flew, they flew at <STRONG>night</STRONG> at at their service ceiling which was near 13,000 feet which was higher than the biplanes could fly,  plus in early 1916 they didnt HAVE incendiary bullets....The pilots would struggle to get their planes up the Zeppelins rarified altitudes and either drop small handheld bombs onto them or fire flareguns at them. All bullets would do was puncture the gasbags which the crews were trained at sealing fast. Incendiaries were introduced at the end of 1916. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But yeah, it was a fun "turn off your brain" movie...</DIV> <P>[/quote]</P> <P><A href="http://www.burgess57.freeserve.co.uk">http://www.burgess57.freeserve.co.uk</A></P> <P>Here are a few steam engines that may have participated in the Hogwarts Film. I recalled one photo in particular but he has already removed it to save bandwidth.</P> <P>The site is one of the best for British Modern and Steam occasionally he shoots video and stills of the older steamers with a touch of history on them.</P> <P>I confess to not going to the movies much these days because we already have the satellite dish. That pretty much already paid for itself in saved movie expenses.</P> <P>For me a movie works if you managed to forget your world outside for a short while enjoying the story. It definately does not work if I cannot help but be a nit-picker at either bad acting or terrible props. =)</P> <P>Cheers.</P> <P>P.S. I feel old. Some of the movies I went to actually had Intermissions and Opera type manners and expectations.</P>
