- Who do you think the guy with the long brown hair is? Ernie McMillan?
- The one part of the trailer (and I've been trying desperately not to 
read the movie spoilers thus far!) is when Voldemort says "Harry 
Potter; you will lose everything". Granted, it sounds like something he 
would say, but he NEVER said that in canon!!! They are even using it 
for the film posters. How can they make that such an iconic thing when 
it is not in the book? Grrrr...
- I did like the fact that they appear to be making quite a hoopla of 
Voldemort's visit to the Ministry. He seems to be tearing the place to 
pieces! Glass flying everywhere...Massive special effects in this film! 
Movies are a visual medium, so I don't mind them embellishing the 
action scenes 'a little'!
What is the deal where it looks like V is holding the prophecy, eating 
it, then blowing out fire that becomes an enflamed Dark Mark? I hope 
they don't change the fact that Neville kicks the prophecy and breaks 
it. Not too thrilling, but yes, it is the way it went down in the book.
- There is also a guy in the tight cut shots of people waving wands at 
the ministry. At first I thought it was Lupin, but now I'm thinking it 
was Crouch Jr? Can anyone confirm?
- Someone said that they could see Bella pushing Sirius, but I can't 
see that.
- No Grawp either.
- I believe it is Bella saying "The Dark Lord approaches".  Interesting 
how they are depicting Azkaban, and the breakout. That's a bonus NOT in 
the book.
- Intriguing how the thestrals remind me of the horse heads in Equus!!!
- What's the deal where it looks like Harry, Ron, Hermione, Luna, 
Neville, Ginny are suspended horizontally??

I am so, so, so excited for this film though! July 13 can't come soon 
enough! I want to see it in IMAX. They apparently will be having the 
last 20 minutes in 3-D on IMAX. With the brains flying around, 
prophecies shattering, wands blazing, that's bound to be spectacular!
