Mars had a warmer, wetter, period is its past. It has been hypothesized that Earth life could have come from Mars, though there is currently insufficient evidence to make a definitive conclusion.

Yeah, that's roughly my speed as well :)

I should have known Joe Barnard would have done something like this...

What have folks been up to this past week?

"Sargeant John Parker in his full mess dress traveled down the slide on a brolly" is peak British.

Eclipse is definitely a cooler name than "Medium Launch Vehicle".

Yeah! I was disappointed that the movies cut the Sphinx and the Screwts. It made the third task pretty underwhelming.

Who would you cast to voice the Sphinx? I think Cate Blanchett would be a good choice.

What foreshadowing can they do or add scenes that the movie didn't know would be relevant?

Definitely Sirius giving Harry the magic mirror in OotP. The movies cut this but included the mirror shard in DH with no explanation.

The movies kind of relegated Ginny to a background character for PoA through OotP, and only gave her screen time once she became a love interest for Harry in HBP. The series should include more of Ginny's scenes between CoS and HBP, such as:

• CoS: Ginny sending Harry a Valentine
• PoA: She is present during the dementor attack on the train, and looks "almost as bad as Harry felt"
• PoA: She gives Harry get-well card
• GoF: Ginny comforting Ron after he asks Fleur to the Yule Ball, then being miserable upon realizing that she could have gone with Harry instead of Neville.
• OotP: She is the one who intoduces Luna, not Hermione
• OotP: She reassures Harry that he is not possessed, after the attack on Arthur.

For flashbacks etc before people start aging?

Are there any flashbacks in the books which include the kids? None spring to mind...
