I won't kill you, but I'm puzzled...

I saw HP in the theatre, and it was most certainly presented in widescreen format. I would assume that was the director's (Chris Columbus) intention.

I wonder if (like LOTR) HP was shot in Super 35, so less would have to be chopped from sides for FS home video. This sounds more likely. So since HP wasn't shot with hard matte in camera, there would be information top & bottom on the 4:3 FS that we wouldn't see either in the theatre or WS video.

I found HP to be charming...I think Columbus is a hack, but even he couldn't totally destroy a good yarn. (I'm also something of an Anglophile and find just the concept of Potter hard to resist.) The books are much, much better.
