Trailer

Heidi: "The trailer that I pulled from the WB site this morning says HP &
the PHILOSOPHER'S STONE.
What have the rest of you seen?"

All the ones I have pulled from WB have been SS. I have tried going through
www.harrypotter.co.uk for the main site, but have always ended up in the
same place and got the SS trailers.

I have just been to Newsround
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/potter/news/hpmovie4.shtml), however, and
have got a PS. It is interesting to note that the PS trailer I got from
them does not have a release date but the SS trailers do.


Countdown.com has some screenshots up now. Look at:
http://www.countingdown.com/features?feature_id=12560 - I could have done a
lot better and not written something about the flying lesson class watching
the golden snitch! Oh wait have found a more comprehensive lot of pictures
on their site now.


B.K.: "Great Job Simon....I'm finishing up one of my own complete with
pictures. It'll be posted to The Leaky Cauldron soon. I'm including the
actual text from the book as well."

I was feeling too lazy to type it all in. I was guessing that you, or
someone else, would do that kind of detailed job to save me the trouble.
Mine was just a quickly knocked out for discussion purposes.

I look forward to reading your guide, including book excerpts.

Simon: "Outside shot of Hagrid walking along with Hermione, Ron and Harry
in tow."
Dervish (or whatever the correct name is today - I can't keep up): "I
figured that this would be one of the times the Trio go down to visit
Hagrid at his hut....but does he ever accompany them down? Could it be
before a Norbert scene?"

I cannot find a situation where he accompanies them down or when they leave
together. I have only skimmed the books quickly,, so could easily have
missed it.


Simon: "Harry, Hermione and Ron screaming at something then turning and
running. They continue to run through a classroom."
Dervish: "I can't figure this one out. The scene starts with them looking
distinctly upwards, and then their mouths drop open in horror and they
scream, then flee. There are only a few horrific scenes in the book that
they all witness. Hell, there are only a few horrific scenes in the book at
all. There is the Fluffy thing, but there isn't Neville or pajamas, so
that's out. There's the scene where they walk in on Snape and Filch, but
only Harry sees that, right? There's the part where they are after the
stone, but there isn't a class room down there *smacks forehead* What scene
have I left out? There can't be much else. Ron and Harry walk in on the
troll...lovely. Well, I've found several things that it isn't. >_< Help."

I have looked at all of the above mentioned bits, but as stated none of
them fit the bill. I then looked for other instances of the three together,
but found nothing suitable.


Dervish: "Are we sure the Weasley in the celebration scene isn't Percy?"

Well Harry is meant to be seated between Ron and Hermione, but that does
not seem to be the case. Percy is heard to be talking to the other prefects
and telling them that Ron is his brother. I took this to mean that the
Gryffindor prefects are all congregated together and so it is unlikely to
be him in the shot.


B.K.: "Take a look at the picture of the actor playing Percy - I think
you're right: http://www.redmailorder.com/potter/movie40.jpg

Also you can see a guy directly behind Harry with black dreadlocks - much
different hair then the black kid in several other scenes most likely
playing Dean Thomas. I think that's Lee Jordan."

The picture does suggest that it might be Percy, but if that is Lee with
the dreadlocks then it is more likely to be one of the twins with him. I
have no pictures of the twins for comparison purposes.


Dervish: "The Bludger That Flies (lol, that sounds like some spy
password) - I thought that was the snitch?? It looks gold when it flies
by..."
B.K.: "No...for the first frame it's a bludger and quaffle in the box. Then
Oliver Wood (Sean Biggerstaff) unchains the bludger (grr. what happened to
the strap?) and it shoots into the air. Harry looks stunned and then we see
what looks like the snitch flying up, with Wood and Harry staring at it as
it flys out of camera range."

Though it looks golden in that scene, the picture ties in with it having
come straight out of the box when we see Wood unleashing a bludger. At that
scene in the book the Snitch is not let out and at the games the balls are
released by the referee. Also the person in the bottom left corner of the
picture, who I presume is Harry, is holding a rounder bat. Suggesting it is
a bludger as you do not need such an item against a snitch. Also where does
the Snitch go in that box? There seems to be no space for it!



I wish they had used Hedwig for the owl scenes. Also annoyed that there is
not a good shot of Hedwig in the trailer. The already released picture is
much better.

I am having fun discussing this, but will have to give in and go to bed
soon!
