I hate to do a "me too" post, but this sums up my feelings about the 
movie exactly. When I watch the trailer, I really feel like I'm 
looking into the world JKR created. I don't really care that the scar 
is off to the side, or Ron is too tall, or the Nimbus isn't delivered 
in a box. When I look at the big picture, I'm amazed by what they've 
done and I can't wait to see the whole thing. It seems to me that 
despite a few very minor details, they're being remarkably faithful 
to the book, and while it's impossible to please everyone, I think 
the majority of HP fans are going to be very happy with the outcome.
