More comments on the trailer.

11. Did you notice the candles floating in the air as they walk into the
Great Hall for the first time?

12. Dudley seems to be merely slightly plump -- he doesn't look as obese as
I imagined him.

13. That whole Richard Harris/Dumbledore voice-over at the beginning... I
assume it was recorded strictly for the trailer, since at no point in the
book does anyone say or write "Soon you and your classmates will be joining
us...blah blah blah"

14. They seemed very careful not to show many special effects... we don't
see any ghosts, we don't see any Quidditch, and the only 'supernatural'
critters we see are the goblins. (We see no Fluffy, no unicorn, no centaurs,
no baby dragon, no Invisibility Cloak, no Mirror of Erised, and of course,
nothing from the climactic scenes where they get past the barriers to the
Stone...).  Even if I wear out my computer re-watching the trailer, there's
still guaranteed to be plenty of delicious scenes to provide a wonderful
movie experience. (I got the 22 MB avi file from the UK - the one that plays
on Windows Media Player -- it plays quite smoothly, but I have 128 MB of
RAM, thank heaven.)

15. I'd no idea that owls were so huge.  I had pictured Hedwig as much
smaller and lighter.  I wonder how much that bird weighs?  Dan looked like
he was putting a bit of effort into holding her on his arm.

"Harry," said Lockhart, his large white teeth
gleaming in the sunlight as he shook his head.
"Harry, Harry, Harry."
Completely nonplussed, Harry said nothing.
