Oh my Goodness!! Final HBP trailer

[Carol]

Carol earlier:
> > I just came across an amateurish site that identified this shot as "Hermione crying for the death of the headmaster." If that's the case, and she's not on the verge of tears over Won-Won and Lavender, maybe it's not so eye-rolling.

> Kemper now:
> I'm curious as to the amateurish site.  Link?
> If Hemione is on the verge of tears or crying for the death of the headmaster, I wouldn't roll my eyes... unless she is the only one of the trio to do so.  

Carol:
It was so bad that I didn't bookmark it, but I managed to find it again by doing a search for "Hermione death headmaster Half-blood Prince." Here's the link, FWIW:

http://www.autopartsplace.com/half-blood-prince.htm

It contains such gems as, "This is the class in their potion class, which Harry does really good on, thanks to the Half-Blood Princes textbook.  The Half Blood Prince (Snape) is an excellent potions master and Harry used his techniques to do good in this class."

The eye-rolling sentence structure and grammar is a giveaway that it's assembled by amateurs, but it's possible that they know something we don't know about the reason for Hermione's tears--or that it's an inspired guess that happens to be correct. At any rate, tears for Dumbledore would be in character for Hermione. In the hospital wing, her eyes are described as "sparkling with tears," and she sobs in Ron's arms at the funeral.

Kemper: 
> As I'm thinking about tears, it would be nice to see Harry cry and not that forced, uncanonical cry in the third movie.

Carol:
I hated that scene! But Harry doesn't cry in the book--first he's angry at Snape and then, at the funeral, he feels oddly cheerful, remembering Dumbledore saying "Nitwit, oddment, blubber, tweak," and so forth. (I know that feeling, when the memory of the person is more real to you than the idea that he or she is dead. It's our subconscious mind protecting us from a shock to great to bear--at least until we can accept the reality that the person is gone, which the funeral helps us to do.) 

Kemper:
  Reflecting on themes over in Main (Harry: Everyman v Christ figure), <snip stuff I hope you'll bring up on Main> This is just a long way saying I want to see Harry cry or even tear up in HBP upon or shortly after DD's death.  And if it's only Hermione who is on the verge of tears or crying, then it will require super slow and exaggerated eye rolling by everyone in the theater or at the keyboard with a pirated download.

Carol:
I have a feeling that moviegoers--even those who've read the books--will be too involved in their own emotions to care whether the characters are crying or not (unless they do it badly and disturb the illusion that what's happening on screen is real). I doubt that we can replicate what we felt when we first read "The Lightning-Struck Tower," but if it's done well we should still feel grief and horror, though some of it will be for Snape rather than Dumbledore because we know the whole story. I just hope I don't hear a bunch of "boos" that interfere with the suspension of disbelief. And I hope nobody says, "It's okay. Snape's not a murderer."

BTW, the new spell check wants me to call Snape "shape" and you "keeper" or "temper." I've added those names to the dictionary so it will stop annoying me. (Or amusing me with its suggestions.)

Carol, who doesn't care whether the characters cry but wants to leave the theater with tears in her eyes
