Very cool. I wonder if anyone recorded it and put the entire thing online if it aired yesterday.

This was a brilliant preview on yesterday, much better than the Sky’s preview which was on Saturday. Fantastic interviews and a fabulous look at Fred and George’s new shop.

Hadn’t realised the cliffs in the trailer were actually the Cliffs of Moher!!

I just returned from a 3 week trip to Ireland for school – and got to see the Cliffs of Moher! At the time, I didn’t know that the Cliffs were the definite location shot for the cave (since Melissa had said on PotterCast that it looked like someplace in Hawaii). But after I saw the Cliffs in person, I knew straight away that this had to be the location – and it was great to see confirmation of that in this video. I also found it funny to hear Gambon’s Dublin accent – after spending 3 weeks traveling through all the provinces in Ireland, and hearing the different accents, he was right on with the "sort of Trinity" accent – lol!

Interesting, I didn’t realise that Dumbledore’s accent was Irish. Being from the southern U.S., I’m not very good at distinguishing those accents—unless they’re the southern drawl.
