Hi all!

I've just come back from watching AI and I was very impressed with 
the HP trailer. To be honest, I think I enjoyed those 2 minutes much 
more than the following 2 hours. The quality was exceptional compared 
to the downloadable media player file. You can tell the producers are 
really putting an effort into this film.

I commend the selection of the actors- especially 'the trio' and Alan 
Rickman, but above all the score composer, John Williams. I know 
people may disagree, but I remember his work from Schindler's List, 
and that was nothing short of brilliant. I believe his talent will 
fit nicely here; I hear that haunting melody he wrote for the first 
HP trailer whenever I'm unavoidably drawn back to reading the books. 

I don't mind the minor discrepancies between the film and books as 
much because it appears that they are commited to creating the world 
JK visualized(well, they really could put some mousse in Harry's hair 
and not use so much on Malfoy's). I realize that they must merge 
certain details or shorten storylines due to the time restraints of 
the film, and I'm sure I'll love it regardless of that.

I have a couple of questions though- how do you think the trailer 
(1st or 2nd) appeals to people who haven't read the books? What 
scenes could they include that would best peak their interest?
