A recommendation for all those with a particular fondness for Marauders-era shippyness: you should see History Boys a.s.a.p. It is, of course, a fabulous Alan Bennett play transferred, with all its extremely excellent performances intact, to the screen. It's also a goldmine of teenage boy USTiness.
