Indeed...but rotting flesh doesnt come across as too gory because they can just make it all green...and then kids will just think its goo :P

But if they make it look realistic, it'll be pretty gross.

I still say it's like the "Hand of Glory". Severed halfway between the wrist and the elbow, long and thin fingers, flesh that appears to be rotting...
I say night I'm living in the forest of my dream,
I know the night is not as it would seem,
I must believe in something,
So I'll make myself believe it,
That this night will never go.

Yeah i think ive already agreed on that.
We were talking about how they would portray it in the film i think. Especially if the film is going to be shown to children (which is very likely). How are they going to show the hand? As a skeleton? Or as a rotting piece of flesh :)

It would probably be a skeleton.
But I'd go for the rotting flesh.

I think Jonathan Stroud answered this question somewhere on your questions-board in this topic to be precise...
He says:
He says:
So.. it is NOT a hand.. I think, like some of you, too it's some body part from the lower regions ;Dwrote:Well, that's a good question and I'm not going to give you a proper answer! The traditional 'hand of glory' allegedly used by burglars was the hand of a criminal cut down from a gallows or gibbet, which then had a candle stuffed between the fingers. It was supposed to make everyone in a house fall asleep, so the burglar could carry out his work safely.
As for the object the agent holds in the cemetary... well, it's the same sort of thing, but I don't think it's a hand this time! Certainly Nat doesn't like the look of it at all. I am very careful NOT to specify what part of the body it is. I kind of leave it to your imagination - it's better that way!

From the way the book described how Nat was disgusted by it I am also sure it is from a differnt part lower down.![]()

I honestly kind of thought so, but I had hoped, delusionally, not.
In the movie, they'd change it to a hand.

Are you talking about hands, or parts of the lower region of the body? In the movie, I think it will look like the one in Harry Potter. I read a book which mentioned a hand of glory. You have to pickle it.

Both.
We, or me, day it is a lower region but it'd be a hand in the movie.

It is on Hollywood.com.
I'm going to be delusional and say it'll arrive in theaters.
