My imagination has always topped anything a movie could come up with. Case in point, those darned Harry Potter movies. That was so not what that part-Veela-chick, Fleur Delacour, looked like.”

    "A pit full of fire."

    "And should you like to fall into that pit, and to be burning there for ever?"
