My SO and I were discussing this last night.  We're less than eager to
see the latest HP, but how ironic that we wouldn't think twice about the
creature eating _people_.  Reminds me of the "Lost World: Jurassic Park"
movie, in which the T. rex invades San Diego and at one point eats a
family's dog.  While I didn't care for the scene I did find myself
thinking, "at least it wasn't a ferret."
 
Ah, the things that push our buttons.  Does this count as
"species-ism?" :-)
 
Just my 2[cents]
