My wife wanted to go see the new Harry potter movie. (Please no jokes :-))

There was a scene were potter is in a tournament where he needs to swim in a lake to save a friend. Plot is not important. I thought the look and feel of the dive was very close to realism. The dive looked like a cloudy Caribbean dive with many hills and valleys’. This was similar to a dive in did in Honduras with there are a lot of crevices. Potters dive had a lot of kelp, so it might be more like California diving in the kelp forest, (I never dove California there but so I do not know exactly. The green haze had a look of New York diving on a very clear vis day.
 
I watched the potter movie as well and of course I payed extra attention to that scene. :D I thought it was very good, though I couldn't help but think to myself "man, I wish I had some gillyweed!!" (Gillyweed is what potter eats and it turns him into an underwater breathing creature with gills and fins for an hour)

I heard that! Would be cool to dive without all that gear. Does tend to make you look a little funny though. :D It's definitly better than those bubbles the other two used. Don't think I want to dive with the merpeople though. They were a bit unfriendly.
 
He could have used a monofin the way he was kickin....but then his feet would have had to grow together.

Being Potter fan...I thought the movies are starting to leave alot out of what is in the books. Cant wait to see how they handle the next major death.

Heheh....He was kind of like a mermaid there wasn't he. I really enjoyed this one. These films are really well done and they keep getting better.

i thought about that too! no more heavy tanks and weight belt :D but that underwater sequence was a bit creepy for me...it felt more creepy than the duel between harry and voldemort sequence...

it is in the theaters (in the states)
You can get any movie you want on DVD in SEA. I saw the Harry Potter movie before this one in a theater in Bangkok. When I got back to my guesthouse, I noticed it was being played in several restaurants just down the street. Chinese bootlegs.
