I'd certainly consider it, but I probably wouldn't hang around to watch the 
movie in this case. BTW, anybody on here who knows something about the 
movie business? Who decides which trailers go with what, and is it the same 
everywhere? I haven't heard of Looney Toons premiering here in Sweden yet, 
so I guess there's a chance it won't be released here for a few months at 
least (if at all). As for trailers attached, would the same trailers come with the 
movie even when released in another country? Come to think of it, perhaps 
not. The trailers would need to match what will actually be released in that 
particular country, right. Ah well-don't bother replying to these ramblings, I'll 
just start by finding out whether Looney will actually be released here. And 
as someone pointed out, there's always the internet, and sooner or later, 
that trailer must show up on the net. Until that time, I trust I can count on 
this list to get the scoop!

BTW, just wanted to share a happy experience with people who understand:
After spending months looking at the DVD-cases on HP 1 and 2 on my 
bookshelf (I just had to have them even if I couldn't watch them) I was finally 
able to pop them into my brand new dvd-player last night! I finally had a little 
extra money to spend (and did I buy new winter boots like I should have? 
Nooooooooo....) and I spent it on a dvd-player!!!! Whoooo-hoooo! I had a 
terrific time finally, finally getting to see the extra material, and of course, the 
movies.

I was struck by how compelling they are, visually. I have been one of the 
people on here rejoicing in Cuaron's taking over as director, but I must say 
that Columbus did a fantastic job (along with Stuart Craig). Let's keep in 
mind--in spite of the things some of us are unhappy about, including myself, 
he did a remarkable feat in creating the world of Hogwarts on screen that 
many fans of the books can relate to, recognize and feel at home with. I 
found CoS particularly striking visually. It's just crammed with delicious detail 
everywhere, and creates a feeling of completeness. Everything fits together 
from the sets to props to the costumes. It's a magical environment but yet 
tangible and believable. Though Cuaron will be making some changes and 
bringin his personal touches to Harry, he will be standing on Columbus' 
shoulders. Though there will be changes, Chris Columbus' original vision will 
still be a part of it. I've changed my mind. He did a terrific job.

Can I also just say that I've just seen the new promo pic of Dan from the PoA 
set? I'd really like one (hrm), I tought it was so nice, but can I really justify 
writing just to get one? (Who would know, though, except you people now, 
but you don't really know who I am anyway....cackles madly and rubs hands 
in a sinister fashion.)
