Trailer talk, mostly happy

[Amy Z]

Various comments that could go on the main list but are not too 
substantive (it's 3 a.m. after all), so I'm putting them here:


In the flying lesson scene, Dean looks taller than Ron, who--frabjous 
day!--looks taller than Harry, though not by much.  

The Golden Snitch is so beautiful!

Yes, I love this, and like Amber, I also love that Wood can't follow 
it but Harry can.  I don't know how they do effects (I love watching 
"the making of SFX-Heavy-Movie-X" shows but I still can never 
understand the simplest thing like a bluescreen), but I assume they 
filmed Harry looking all over and then animated the Snitch 
accordingly. 

It's hard to be sure from a few seconds here, a few seconds there, but 
I really think this boy can act.  Don't you just love the look on his 
face when Draco throws the Remembrall?

Per Suzanne and Bugg on the dark wood wand:  I'm afraid it looks as if 
this is probably the one Harry ends up with--I don't imagine the 
others would make the wind blow in the shop.  Maybe it's holly, but 
Ollivander doesn't like light wood, so he stains it?

I was thinking about plunking down $6 to watch the trailer, and maybe 
sticking around for AI <g>, but it would drive me crazy to only see it 
once.  I am now looking forward not only to November 16, but to the 
day the movie comes out on video (I don't suppose it will be by this 
Xmas?).

Amy Z, with, finally, a QT version of the trailer downloaded-- 
CompuServe ditched me with 17 minutes to go (AAARGH!) but I got most 
of the sound and picture, though I can't get both at the same time!
