oh good, does that mean they are going to have the TR orphanage scene? I thought they had only cast a 16 year old.

To all the US residents who complain about having to wait a month to get the DVD: in France we will have to wait until January 11th. Of course, I agree: “Boo WB” but might I had “Boo WB France!”. ;)

OMG, I’m glad Dumbledore looks more like Gandalf! And he has actual white hair now! Finally! I hated that greyish straggly stuff! At least it is long and white and without the goofy cap! He looks more like the Dumbledore we all were picturing! And I’m glad the shot was brief, I don’t want to see the cave scenes until I’m sitting in a theater on November 21, 2008!

And I don’t know how much I like the new Quidditch robes. I think the helmet takes away from the sport being ridiculously violent. They don’t play with protective gear!

Anyhoo, can’t wait for this dang movie, and I’m glad it may come off as a really serious film. It looks like it.

QUIDDITCH QUIDDITCH QUIDDITCH QUIDDITCH!! so looking forward to it! :D yes hopefully we will get to see them PLAYING it becasue i reallly want to see Ron screw up but what i really want to see is when Harry cracks his skull. i love that part in the book!! so sad but i loved it! and Luna commentaring would be be cool too! i wonder if they’re gonna have McLaggen, i hope so. he was a jerk but he was a character in HBP. i dont care about the ‘big kiss’ cuz i really hate Ginny. a lot. i hate her and Harry together. i dont think it’ll be as big of a deal hopefully cuz he already had his first kiss so who cares about ginny? i hate her. lol i bet Dan would be feeling very macho in the new robes! they should have done that a while ago altough bludgers hit whereever they please so its a bit pointless. so excited cuz i think i heard from someone they’re putting it in the film as a last-good time thing b4 all the sorrow in DH. looking forward to see the orphanage! not my fav HP book but i know its goning to be amazing :)

I’m with you Michelle on the Quidditch helmet and protective gear. It is ok but I don’t think it said they wore anything other then the Quidditch robes in the books. They may look cool when they are on the person though.

See WB those of us in the US and France don’t need your DVD we have our friends in the UK and the internet to get around you :)

Here is my theory as to why WB is holding off until after the big after Thanksgiving sales. I saw some of the ads for Best Buy, Kmart and Target and they are all selling new releases for crazy prices. Someone has the movie 300 listed for $3.99 and season one of the office for $7.99. Of course the prices that retailers are selling at won’t affect WB’s pocket but maybe they don’t want consumers to think the movie was bad so it is getting a bargain price.

@Michelle: The sport is ridiculously violent and she said that they will most likely be worn only during training sessions.

how can people be so surprised that Quidditch is in when Yates had confirmed that ages ago and it has been mentioned in several interviews since? Honestly, can’t people read?

Quidditch, you’re back!! I can’t wait to see Ron in his uniform….though, I don’t really like the way they look, they’re a bit ugly…I do like the Slytherin ones though.

Omg, I can’t wait! ...am I the only one who thought that the orphanage street looked too much like Grimmuald Place’s street?....and did anyone else see a cave-like wall, DD was standing by it, could it be the cave scene?! Am I too excited?! Hell YEAH! :D

That is because it is the same set as Gimmauld Place.

They often re-use sets due to the budget, as they did with thr trophy room on GoF, that later became what we now know as the Room of Requirement.

Holly, you’re hilarious. Of course the kiss with Ginny is more important than Cho’s kiss because Ginny is Harry’s wife, soulmate, and the mother of his kids. I’d say that’s pretty darn significant, regardless of your personal feelings! LOL

I’m SO IMMENSELY excited. The sneak peek was awesome. I loved seeing the new robes, but I hope the female players won’t be forced to wear those bulky things! Poor Ginny, Katie Bell, and Demelza if so! ;)
