bboy_mn commnets again:

As I pointed out before, you have to be very careful about drawing
conclusions from a movie trailer. Some scenes in some trailers aren't
even in the movie, they are scenes constructed specifically for the
trailer. Or, they are footage that has been cut/dropped from the film.
Sometimes unrelated bits and pieces are strung together to create an
impression of the movie, but in the actually movie, two consecutive
events in the trailer could occur (in movie time) hours apart.

I think the trailer tries to make us believe that Harry is sitting at
the table reading the diary, but we know from carefull analysis that
he is more likely to be looking at his parents photo album. 

So I think they have taken unrelated scenes and strung them together
to  create the impression that Harry is reading the dairy. Can't prove
it until the movie comes out, but I think the actual scene will play
out differenly than it does in the trailer.

just some thoughts.
