Oh, goodness, I've been gone, and now I had a moment to come back..Of
course I knew that 4 days after the trailer was up would be too late
to engage in any DIALOGUE about it...(I love this list), oh c'mon, I
can't keep my mouth shut.
I loved the trailer, and I got chills, then my partner and I watched
it together and got more chills!
I HOPE that they put in a scene in the beginning about the demise
(okay temporary but still demise) of Lord Voldemort, the night
McGonagall as the cat sat outside the Dursley home and Albus
Dumbledore arrived with his putter-outer...how wonderful to see quick
glimpses of owls flying, fireworks, men in violet cloaks, and toasts
to Harry Potter the boy who lived. Wonderful visualization I just
had -- thank you!
Oh, I loved it! and I knew I could come here and obsess.
Anyone up for a quick petition (we could gather 10,000 names in an
afternoon) to say that it should be called the Philosopher's Stone
here in the U.S.?
I did not like Harry, Ron or Hermione's hair. Hermione's should be
MORE bushy!!!!, Ron's is too perfect, and for gosh sakes, Harry's
should be sticking up every which way!.....
I agree that Snape is perfect...anyone notice McGonagall's broach?
Maggie Smith is sure going to augment/bolster/round out her
character...
Wow, Hagrid is outstanding.....He looks "normal" (or maybe he just
looks like Hagrid to me)...but then when you see him next to Harry in
Gringotts he looks like a giant. Excellent.
Nothing ever matches one's inward visualization..but for me this is
so much better than (for example) the LOTR movie...it literally gave
me chills...
The ink looked green on the letter -- did they fix it?
With renewed and mounting excitement.
