"The Secret Ingredient? Salt!"

-
This is one of my favorite lines from The Simpsons, as Marge reveals the exotic addition to her dinner dish.

And for some reason I thought of it as I watched the Harry Potter movie tonight. "The Secret Ingredient? Silence!"

Seriously, this amazing movie was one of the quietest movies I have ever seen. An astounding amount of film time had no background music, no sound effects, no dialogue. And the audience sat in awed silence. You could have heard a pin drop in that theater. A gutsy, artistic take on the biggest commercial film of all time. Hats off to you, David Yates.
