Well, I just got to see it today, downloaded it this morning. I LOVE IT!!!!  
Okay, the flying car scene has obviously been altered, but it still looks 
really neat when Harry goes flying out of the car and is hanging over Hogwarts 
Express.  But how on Earth does he get back in?  I guess he climbs back up, 
must be stronger than he looks.

Amen.

I don't know, but it sure is pretty. :)

I think they made his hair too light.  White blond, more than blonde.  But he 
sounds vicious enough "Let us hope Mr. Potter will always be around to save the 
day." :)  Though I must say I LOVE Harry's comeback.  "Don't worry, I will 
be."  Hope it stays that way in the movie.

That one was about what I'd pictured.  Once he raises up to strike I imagine 
he'll be big enough.

That picture is from a Vanity Fair photo shoot.  So I don't think it's in the 
movie like that.  Those pictures were taken July 19th, and I think they just 
arranged characters on sets to get an general overview.  And just threw Colin 
in there cause he's such a cutie.  (I do LOVE that little boy!  Though I never 
pictured Colin quite that cute.  I just want to pinch his cheeks!)

Anyway, last year's Vanity Fair had photos that weren't from movie scenes, like 
Harry flying on his broom in standard Hogwarts uniform, etc.

I thought the preview was great, too, although I liked the first one 
better (even though I could only see it on my computer screen!).

Lockhart is going to be hilarious!

Where is the snow scene with the horse-drawn carriages in the book?

Lucius doesn't look anything like I pictured him, and my 6 year old 
son said the same thing even before I had mentioned this to him.

I had also expected a much larger snake appearing from Malfoy's wand 
in the duelling club.

One of the pictures on the Leaky Cauldron website has me confused - 
it shows Colin, Harry, Ron and Madam Pomfrey standing around a bed on 
which a petrified Hermione is laying.  Wasn't Colin the first human 
to be petrified in the book?  Did they change the petrification 
sequence in the movie (there is another picture of Colin petrified, 
so I don't think this got dropped)?
