Assorted CoS matters

[TACtalk at adelanta.co.uk]

Well, I have only seen one trailer, via the Internet (where exactly are the
other trailers to be seen?)

I am in the UK at present, so haven't seen any of the TV appearances. I
missed Blue Peter (when was that announced on the list?) but taped 'This
Morning' Thursday and yesterday. Waste of time; total three tiny clips,
plus interviews with Fang, Hedwig and Errol, and a bit of Leslie Phillips
(the sorting hat). I'm so glad that someone else thought that this show was
appalling. I am not going to enjoy ploughing through the video next week to
find the DR bits!

I seem to remember that all of the TV stuff in Britain last year was done
in the few days prior to the official opening of the movie.

About the music; does anyone know whether the HP2 CD will include a CD-Rom
with a movie trailer, as in the soundtrack of HP1?

All this fuss in the press about DR and RG's growth spurts; I think that
it's just a case of the journalists' motto of 'good news is no news'.
There's no scandal about the movie, everyone says that the cast got along
very well, the kids aren't brats, etc. What is there for a self-respecting
press doom-merchant to say? None of them have acknowledged that Harry grows
in the books. None of them seems to have read GoF, in which the Harry who
is mooning over Cho Chang is certainly not the boy with the piping voice
whom we met in PS/SS. So in CoS, DR was 13,  playing a 12-year old. Next
year he will be 14 playing 13. Big deal.

Well, just one week to go before the preview showings. Tell me, am I the
only freak who has tickets for next Friday, Saturday AND Sunday?
