Jen: Do you think it's the final fight then, with Ginny fighting & 
Harry running after Snape/Draco?  The other thought I had was possibly 
a dream sequence of Harry's because it wouldn't give much away about 
the movie.  I thought of it because of LV in the suit in the OOTP 
trailer!  There are so many scenes in the tall grass though.  I never 
pictured so *much* tall grass around Hogwarts, except by the lake.  
Ginny appears near water so perhaps it is meant to be by the lake since 
that featured in GOF.  Continuity for the movie-only audience. <g>

Although in the MTV review Carol linked us to (thanks!), the reviewer 
thinks it's the Burrow sequence.  I still need to search on the old 
posts here to learn more about that addition.  

(Aside: Like the MTV reviewer I was hoping to see DD in his wild plum 
suit.)

Anne Squires:
> I think it's interesting that eleven-year-old Tom Riddle is played by
> the ten-year-old nephew of Ralph Fiennes, Hero Fiennes-Tiffin.

Jen: Thanks for the link, I didn't know who was playing Riddle.  No 
wonder the intensity, if Hero takes after his Uncle. 

Carol:

Jen: Ah, OK, I misunderstood what you were talking about. I thought the 
golden look was from the lighting in the cabinent & in/around DD as he 
holds up the one vial?  The memories themselves look more clear or 
wispy.  At any rate, they aren't the same as previous ones.  

Kemper:
> Ginny looks, to me, like her wand was explelliarmued and that she's

> deep water.

Jen: You nailed it, that's exactly what it looks like.  What I thought 
was a defiant look is more like a momentary 'uh-oh' mixed with defiance.

Kemper: "Still... I'm hopeful." 

Jen: "That's the spirit, dear." ;)

Carol:
> I still don't understand about the tinyURL. Which button are you
> referring to? Is it only on IE or do the other browsers have it?

Jen: Hmm, I'm not techincal enough to know if different browsers 
matter.  I use Explorer.  When I open the page, there's a royal blue 
bar across the top with the site name/tagline in white.  Then right 
below is this text:

"Welcome to TinyURL!™
Are you sick of posting URLs in emails only to have it break when sent 
causing the recipient to have to cut and paste it back together? Then 
you've come to the right place. By entering in a URL in the text field 
below, we will create a tiny URL that will not break in email postings 
and never expires."

Right below all *that* stuff, on a very light blue background, is a box 
like a search box - do you know what I mean?  It's the size of a Google 
search box but instead of "Search", above it is written: "Enter a long 
URL to make tiny."  So you cut & paste your URL in the box, then click 
on a button right next to the box on the right-hand side that 
says "Make TinyURL"

I'm not sure how else to explain it, or perhaps you're seeing something 
different?  Maybe Steve can do a better job explaining!

Jen, ready for the real trailer now...
