MC: "Aside from the fact that Neville isn't around, the scene where they
run through the class room is during the day, as I said before. The light
cast on the far wall is white, making it appear to be natural light (candel
light looks quite yellow)."
This scene is split into two parts. One where they are standing still, they
scream and then start to turn. The second part has them running through a
classroom. There is no reason that these two parts have to follow on from
each other. They may be totally separate in the film, but put together in
the trailer, because they fit quite well.
In the trailer the classroom they are running through is the one in the
picture:

It is interesting to note that they are running towards the teacher's desk
where there seem to be no doors to get out of the room! Am I meant to point
such matters out? Or does that make me sound to obsessive? If so, ignore
the comment about doors.
Also in this shot Hermione is carrying a bag. If she were carrying the same
bag in the scream scene (when I write that I start to think of the horror
movie!) then in all probability we would be able to see it, or her
accidentally hitting Ron with it as she turned. But there is no evidence
that she is carrying it in that shot.
So the problems of finding one bit in the book for this could be that it is
in fact two very different scenes.
The running could be them leaving a class, or exams. Why no other students
I do not know, but maybe they were kept late!
