[Harry Potter](http://public.wit.edu/~pokharela/PotterPotterMovie.swf) does his own version of the "Badger Badger Badger video. I like how you can see alternating owls or griffons in the background. ---

They stole my idea. Right after I saw the original I turned to Gunslinger and said “Somebody in the HP fandom should rip this off. They could go Snaaaaape! It’s a Snaaaaaaape!” And “ooooooh it’s a snaaaaaape!” became a catchphrase. ---

What are they saying in the in-between part (instead of mushroom, mushroom)? ---

Did you let it go through enough repetitions (one or two minutes) to see what eventually happens to Snape? ---

All I get is a blank screen that says “DONE” in the lower left corner. :mad: ---

Haha, this is so cute! I love it. I saw the original “Badger badger” one when my friend showed it to me and I thought it was annoying. But, this Harry Potter one is so cute. Well, I’m a Harry Potter fan, anyways. 😃 ---

Still waiting for the loading. Wonder which will be done first: my salmon fillet or the website? ---

Potter won by 2 minutes. Potter was cute, but the salmon was good, too (olive oil and pesto with a bit of garlic). ---

I just re-watched the flash. Harry alternates between holding a wand, and a glowstick, and Snapes has on a dress, a witch’s hat which has a vulture perching on it, and a red purse at one point. Watch about 3 cycles. (The third time Snape appears he’s got a different outfit.) The music changes up slightly too. I trust, you’ll find a bit of confirmation in what I’ve said once you see the glowsticks, they appear in the middle of the second cycle. ---

I wonder why some of the Harry’s are holding their wands (or occassional glow sticks) in their left hand, and others are holding them in their right hands? Nice to know what Ron was saying, though. I thought he was saying “B.C., B.C.”, and couldn’t figure out why he’d be singing about an American comic strip. ---

It’s missing the best part of badger badger badger though, which is the periodic appearance of the tiny badger in the back… ---

It’s the way the graphics were done. The right-facing Harries and the left-facing Harries are mirror images of each other (the animator just flipped one to make the other.)
