WOW, talk about beating a dead horse. If some people didn't like the fact that hypogriffs ( a cross between a horse and a griffin) eat dead ferrets, your really not going to like the next book. I don't know if they are going to put the sceen in the movie but in the fourth book Draco Malfoy is changed into a white ferret by one of the teachers and is bounced off the walls and sidewalk a few times. Some my find this disterbing but as I was reading it I thought it was funny (the kid is rotten). So far book three and four are the only books that have ferrets in them.
