Trailer rating information.

WB logo. Music starts.

Harry locked in his cupboard, looking out from between the bars (camera in
cupboard with him). Person walking, then someone, probably Vernon, saying,
"There is no such thing as magic". (Chapter 2/3)

Loud bang, which cause freshly arrived WB logo to shake.

Logo breaks up into owls flying towards the camera.

Letter flying around a room with Harry jumping around attempting to catch
one. Dudley in Petunia's arms on a seat, both look frightened. Vernon half
protecting himself, half trying to get letters out of the way. Harry
catches one. Switches to Harry's PoV, looking at the front of a letter,
while holding other letter and postcard. (Chapter 3).

Letter moved out of shot and reveals Hogwarts Express on its travels.
Proper trains noises accompanying. Someone, possibly Dumbledore says, "You
have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." (Chapter
6)

Shot has by now changed to one of Hagrid, walking away from camera on the
Hogsmeade train station platform. He is carrying a lantern. When voice
finishes we hear an owl hooting. (Chapter 6)

Doors to main hall open as McGonagall arrives at them with the first years
following behind her. Voice continues with, "Soon, you and your school
mates will join us here and your education in the magical arts shall
begin." At this point the music sounds particular imposing. (Chapter 7)

Shot of Harry, Ron and some of the other first years waiting to be sorted.
(chapter 7)

Switches to picture of Snape looking straight at us, I would assume this is
the point when he looks straight at Harry and so we are back in Harry's
PoV. Can also see the back of Quirrell's turban as he is facing Snape to
talk to him. (Chapter 7)

McGonagall looking strict. The Dumbledore raising his glass to the camera.
Assume this is a continuation of the start of year feast.

Door to hut on the rock is broken down. Hagrid comes in, Vernon and Petunia
are huddled together looking scared and Vernon is holding a gun. Thunder
and lightening outside. Dudley trying to get as far away as possible by
pressing himself right up against a wall. Hagrid looking upset and stuffing
his umbrella into his coat. (Chapter 4)

Gringotts. Harry and Hagrid walking down the centre of two rows of working
goblins. Various other people walking around, doing bank business. Harry
looks worried. (Chapter 5)

Charms lesson. Hermione is getting the feather to fly past a fed up and
annoyed looking Ron. Hermione is revelling in her ability to do the magic
and all the others are looking on at her successful spell, while they,
themselves, are unable to do it. (Chapter 10)

Outside shot of Hagrid walking along with Hermione, Ron and Harry in tow.
(Guesses?)

Harry walking through a snow filed quad with Hedwig on his arm. Possibly
Hedwig has just flown to him as she is flapping her wings. (Chapter 12)

Forbidden forest scene. With Fang and two people walking along. Choices are
Harry and Draco or Neville and Draco. Looking at the way they are
purposefully striding along I am guessing at Harry rather than Neville, as
he is more likely to be showing such purposefulness. (Chapter 15)

Hagrid dragging a Christmas tree into the school. (Chapter 12)

Draco looking into the camera. Pre sorting as Draco's toe is black. Someone
in foreground. Possibly Ron. (Chapter 5, 6 or 7)

Gringott goblin. (Chapter 5)

Harry, Hermione and Ron screaming at something then turning and running.
They continue to run through a classroom. (Guesses?)

Broomstick lesson. Harry's jumps straight into his hand, with Hermione
looking on and her broom not moving into shot. (Chapter 9)

Quidditch scene where Oliver Wood teaches Harry about the balls. Bludger
released that rockets off and Harry swivels head quickly up to follow its
path. (Chapter 10)

Slytherin and Gryffindor flying lesson. All have turned to look in the same
direction suggesting that Neville has just flown off too early and is about
to fall off his broom. (Chapter 9)

Hagrid says to Harry, "You are the boy who live."  (Chapter 4, but not
quite the line that Hagrid say, which is, "...you was only a baby, an' you
lived.")

End of year celebration feast with the students throwing their hats into
the air. Gryffindor colours visible in the background. We can only see
three houses, so suppose Slytherin are out of shot to the right and not
celebrating. (Chapter 17)

Harry looking into camera, possibly actually looking at Draco and laughing
at his annoyance at the change of house cup points. One of the Weasley's is
sitting next to Harry. One of the twins. (Chapter 17)

Harry Potter logo and lightening when it arrives on a cloudy background.
The add Sorcerer's Stone to this. Owl flies at the screen. Words replaced
by details of when the film comes out.
