It might be a Halloween performance. The Great Hall was full of 
students so it could be a seasonal concert before the great feast 
hence a spooky song. Love the idea of a school choir, make Hogwarts 
seem more contemporary. And the song selection is great, it's stuck 
in my head too, may have to get the soundtrack for this one. It might 
just replace 'Monster Mash' as my favorite(and only)Halloween song.

My question is did anyone else notice that the singers seemed to be 
holding something or have something draped around them that was 
singing also or something. It might have just been an instrument of 
some sort. But since the choir is an invention of Cuaron (I assume) 
than I doubt anyone would know what they are if there is anything 
there. My resolution wasn't great so it may just be that, but if 
you've seen it too let me know or I may just need to change my 
contacts.

But the movie looks really great,possibly the best trailer for a 
Potter movie yet. I can't wait for the new movie now to see what 
Cuaron has done, it all looks darker and more sophisticated, and a 
definate spookiness I really like. Ack, eight months and counting!
