What better trailer to start with than Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II
The Prince's Tale: Aka Snape's memories, aka one of the most interesting parts in the book. I like that a few clips of it made the trailer, even though I read they are adding something that wasn't in the book I could hardly care less. I loved that chapter and I'm dying to know more.
What might not: "Complete the journey in 3D." No, can you please pull out of 3D last minute again and make EVERYBODY happy? This is not a film for 3D, HP is going to make a ton of money at the box office anyways, so adding the extra surcharge is just greedy and unneeded. 3D should be left to animated films, stop trying to bring it into live action. It never works.
Steve Klove's obsession with Harry and Hermione still hasn't gone away. Not that I expected it too, I was just hoping for more Ron and Hermione moments in the trailer. Since, you know, that's the couple JK Rowling wrote about. I don't think Kloves has ever read a Harry Potter book.
Harry vs Voldemort. This I'm completely split on. In the book, their final show down takes place in the Great Hall in front of everybody. From the looks of the trailer, they battle in the court yard alone. I understand they wanted to make the fight look better on film because in the book it was actually quite short. I'm hoping it works out. I hope everyone eventually runs out and watches them fight, because that's what made it so special.
Random thought: Where the hell are Voldemort's shoes?
When to watch: At midnight, opening night. I'm a die hard Harry Potter fan and I always will be. But you already knew that.
Love the trailer even though personally, I have been less than impressed by the first 4 movies. I shall be there on opening weekend.
