I think you may be on to something here. I've watched
that portion of the trailer and the reflection in
Harry's glasses is definitely the picture that is in
the photo album Hagrid gives him at the end of SS/PS.
I couldn't figure out why this picture was reflected
in his glasses when he's writing in the diary but I
like your explanation for it!
Also, what I found strange about it was that it looked
to me like Harry is sitting in the Gryffindor common
room when he's writing in the diary. I'd have to go
back and look at it more carefully to be sure but
that's the impression I had. Why would the Grey Lady
be in the Gryffidor common room? If I'm not mistaken,
she's the Ravenclaw ghost. I just couldn't help but
wonder why she shows up in two pivotal scenes from two
different movies, the scene where the trio tries to
get in to see Dumbledore and the scene where Harry
discovers the true nature of the diary. It just
strikes me as odd.
~Nicole, who is with Richelle. I also thought I'd
heard that JKR had made specific reference to the Grey
Lady at some point. Does anyone have any evidence of this?
