The Middle Distance

It's the one that Harry and Hermione dance to; it's "O Children" from 'Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus.' I think it worked fairly well in the scene; it just yanked me out of the story for a moment because of the Unexpected Fandom Collision factor.


I would LOVE a really good animated version, or a graphic novel series with a really striking style.

That animated sequence in this movie reminded me both of SE Asian shadow puppet theater, and also a performance I saw last year of excerpts from Swan Lake with Redmoon Theater doing projected-paper animations and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra playing, which just slayed me.
