one of my favorite shots in moviedom is in 'goblet of fire,' when they show the stained glass window after showing neville upset because of the crucio curse. because of the rain, it looks like the window is crying. at first i thought it was moving (not literally) because it gave a face to the mood at the moment. then it dawned on me that she's alice longbottom, and the tears were of the pain she endured. they are also those she would shed if she were able to understand all that her son has been through without her there, including his emotional distress at this moment after seeing a small glimpse of what she went through. it shows that she is trapped, unable to get to him to comfort him. it's her crying for her son.
then last night, after seeing it how many times, i noticed one more thing: she even looks a bit like 15-year-old matthew lewis. good job movie people.
