Unrelated, I know, but THE TRAILER IS UP. http://video.msn.com/video.aspx/?mkt=en-gb&vid=bc682eef-e76b-467a-9684-2ffebc997b91&playlist=videoByUuids:uuids:559dc068-6410-4b44-b816-14f629c281dd,986e16ee-2961-4c52-a01c-90794bcf7ec3,3e1ccfe0-654d-4c6f-9b72-3835db18eb77&from=ENGB_msnvideo&tab=s1204298895071&from=today_u21&wa=wsignin1.0&vv=600
This is fantastic! What an honour. It occurs to me that this film may be the best one yet…......and it hasn’t even been seen yet. Go, Harry! I hope JKR will be there. That would be extra keen.
thanks crogers for that…couldnt get the aol link to go up fast enough! so things ive noticed? same walls in the orphanage i think used in the ministry in movie 5…no hermione in the trailer at all….and why is ginny in a nightgown/robe in the middle of the night standing in a swamp???
WOW! I read about this honour, some 5 hours ago. I tried to get to Leaky, with the news, but it’s been really hard to get things loaded [and downloaded] I think this is sooo cool, as the film hasn’t even been seen yet! A really great honour! Thanks, TLC!

As a loather of all forms of privilege and an ardent UK republican I’ll give this a miss – I’d probably get arrested! (LOL). Of course anything that helps charities has to be good.
Rosey, I wished I lived in the UK, now! That would be an awsome event to attend. I doubt that too many of “the public” will be able to attend, though. I would imagine the tickets would be very expensive. This IS for charity though. I would hope that folks would keep this in mind, when attending. Not just to see “the celebrities” ,but a cool movie, all for charity! A great honour, any way you look at it!
