MusicalBetsy here:
Carol -
I'm so excited that I actually know something you don't (I tend to 
just lurk, because I learn so much from the normal posters, including 
you)!  Konnichiwa means "welcome" in Japanase.  We had a 15-year-old 
Japanese girl stay with us for 10 days back in November, and 
Konnichiwa was the first word she taught us, so Dan must be 
saying,"Welcome from Dan Radcliffe."

Very interesting trailer - lots of new lines, like the ones you 
mentioned - I too was very surprised about Snape saying the line about 
the Chosen One in front of McGonagall - and I don't remember it being 
common knowledge in HBP that Harry was indeed the "Chosen One" - at 
least, I don't remember everyone openly discussing it.  Also an 
interesting response from Dumbledore when Harry asks if he hired 
Slughorn for something other than teaching Potions.  

I too need to watch it again - it's hard to hear the english with the 
Japanese going on at the same time.  But thanks so much for bringing 
it to our attention!

MusicalBetsy, who is excited that SOMETHING new is out concerning HPB -
 I was getting tired of just reading reports of who all might be cast 
in the new Twilight movie....
