There is NO WAY any pipes are large enough to allow that monstrosity to travel thru them.About Moaning Myrtle: I was getting at the idea that the first film presented the ghosts as being a cool ADDITION to the school: the 2nd film is making it seem like the ghosts are an IRRITATION.Not something that is very smart to allow on your grounds.(Now, I'm aware that they may feel some sense of guilt about MM, but it's still a very bad idea to undermine the coolness of the ghosts on campus by showing a non-beneficial one on screen.)About the spiders: so the movie needlessly RUINED the entire concept of the spiders?!Sheesh - and here I was, losing some of my hatred for that hack director.I have MANY more problems I wrote out about the film, if anyone would like to discuss or hear.Michael - I'm interested  - what DID the film do well?On my list, the only thing I liked was the idea of wizards dueling, and the racism/classism angle.</blockquote>
