Yeah, that's the it

Holy monkey balls, it looks flippin' sweet.

Aims, make sure to check out the actual trailer from ita's link. It's mostly the same footage, but it doesn't have that idiot talking over it. The trailer music is kind of awesome.

The Death Eaters look like Klansmen. Which is appropriate, actually.

Ooo, good trailer. I love the music.

That looks so good.

Love the dragon.

Also, Krum is a cutie.

I love the shot of Hermione with a half-smile and a glint in her eyes. And Daniel Radcliff? Such a cutie-pie.

I liked the visuals, too. They look lived-in and sort of wild, and not glossy and artificial like the first two pictures.

My one real issue with the trailers (apart from my standing "Hermione's too pretty!") is that I don't think Molly would let Ron have hair that shaggy.

"Hermione's too pretty!"

A reasonable realism complaint that I refuse to care about!

ETA: Also, I don't worry too much about the movie not getting little details right from the books. I'm convinced that 4, 5, 6, and probably 7 will have to be adapted from the books more heavily than the first three, for time concerns if nothing else, and plan to enjoy them as fun rides, not direct echoes of the increasingly complicated and literary series.

Well, it's part of a larger issue I have with ther Hermione in the movies. Being not dissimilar to book-Hermione, I object to the de-nerding of the character (also to Emma's dislike for the character in the original and the subsequent (though I won't fully blame it on that) re-writing of the character).

Hermione, esp. that one shot of her in the trailer, is going to be sending guys to their bunks.

So how does the Joss/Jewel pairing fit on Jesse's Parity Scale?

Is she really all that de-nerded? She still takes bunches of classes, and has that long, totally ignored conversation about Arithmancy, and tries to stop them from breaking the rules most of the time. Her nerdiness isn't thrown in your face as much as it is in the books, but the movies are not really great at the character development - part of that whole cutting for time thing, since the kids sitting in the library studying for hours at a time while Ron and Harry go slowly insane can be done in 4 paragraphs in the book but would require actual screen time in a movie.

I've always thought of it more as the movies focusing less on the school aspect of the stories entirely, which is, in my opinion, the obvious place to cut stuff. So it never bothered me.

And I haven't read cast interviews with Emma, so I don't know about that bit.
