Does anyone see a certain character from the 2nd Harry Potter movie?

***

And for a very unpopular opinion.
I don't understand the fuss about Six Feet Under.
I tried to fit in with the cool kids, I watched the first 2 seasons, the third is sitting around here on tapes somewhere, and the 4th started tonight and I can't be bothered.
There were moments, but overall I find the characters unlikeable and annoying and just want to slap them. I've always felt that in many ways it's a show where the producers/writers/whatever are trying to be shockable just for the sake of being shockable and "look how clever we are". Which I bristle against.
I think also that I really don't like shows that are just about people. I prefer shows that are set around a job or some such thing, I guess procedural shows. I do get into characters, but I like that central solid thing.
Yes, I'm probably unintellectual and shallow and non-literati.

Dr Bunsen Honeydew and his assistant, Beaker, are everything Britain looks for in a scientist - they're accessible, humorous and occasionally blow each other up.

The two muppets, who created an array of crazy gadgets on The Muppet Show, defeated Dr Strangelove, Dana Scully of X Files fame and Star Trek's Mr Spock in a poll to find Britain's favourite screen scientist.

The balding, white-coated Honeydew and flame-haired, bulging-eyed Beaker created an array of crazy gadgets on the popular television show.

"They're the kind of scientists you would like to be but never quite dared to," said Alan Slater, a scientist at Exeter University.
