Well, it's Monday evening (in Sweden) and I've only just seen the trailer! I 
don't have acces to a computer at home, and today I had to scour the school 
for one that had any kind of program installed that would allow me to watch it! 
My hard work paid off, and I've had a chance to enjoy it thouroughly. And I 
REALLY DID enjoy it! It just looks and feels VERY promising!
 
Most of the posters on this list have probably already voiced their opinions, so 
I'll not elaborate too much.

As for the choir singing: I'm not sure this will be part of the movie proper. I can't 
see the plot pausing for a bit of choir singing. My theory is that this part was 
staged specifically for the trailer. If  not, it could turn up as part of the opening 
credits of the movie. 

My favourite shot of the trailer is that of (what I presume to be) Harry preparing 
to battle the boggart. Did  you see the look on his face?(Of course you did.) I 
thought it such a brilliantly nuanced look of fear and "bracing  oneself" 
compared to the "big-eye-fear" faces he made in CoS. (Anybody with me?) It'll 
be terrific to see how our young trio have developed as actors under Cuarons 
guidance.

About Boggart-Snape striding out from the cupboard, (that shot before his 
"transformation") my first reaction was: Yow, baby!! I admire Rickman, but I've 
never really caught on to what could be attractive about him as Snape--until I 
saw that shot. 

And Dumbledore-Gambon: How cool is he?

June is just too far away.
