Swiiffer dusters are _truly_ a great invention - that's the dusters, not the cloths, which are pretty useless. My mother is an inveterate collector and has shelves full of fussy little knick knacks. The great thing about the fluffy little duster things is that you can kind of puff over objects and they really do pick up the dust as you go. They're great for swiping the tops of books, too (very important in my household). I find that one duster lasts for quite a few heavy uses (and I live in a dusty neighbourhood, near several main streets), and the actual dusters are refillable onto the plastic handle (and you can get a separate long handle that will reach high places)- so although I get slight twinges of environmental guilt, my time is valuable enough to merit using them (and the cost).

I like the HP movies a lot, at least as much as the books. I thought they did a good job of translating the spirit of the books to the screen, and the casting has been brilliant (especially Alan Rickman!)
