The screencaps are up at "The Leaky Cauldron" (I was able to access 
them without any trouble)  http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/

I LOVED them!  Now I'm dying to see that trailer.  I think it quite 
mean of WB to only show it 'down under' and not post it on the 
official website.  I especially wanted to see Snape send out the 
ring of fire at Lockhart.  The production people seem to have put 
quite an edge onto the teachers' demonstration duel.  I had heard 
somewhere that the snake Draco sends out at Harry looks a bit fake.  
Of course, it was hard to tell in these small pictures, but it did 
look quite menacing all reared up with its fangs exposed.  And I 
know that Harry and Hermione's closed-eyes hug will get its share of 
SHIP discussion in spite of Melissa's (at TLC) caution that the 
children are 'only twelve.'  I wonder if Columbus got an OK from 
Rowling--perhaps a bit of inside information, or if he was taking 
his own creative liberty with canon. I love the way he stuck to the 
first novel and didn't try to turn it inside out to make it more 
Hollywood.
Thank you, Alexis, for all the trouble you went through to share 
with us. (And I did notice your name on TLC's site!)
