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.
