Adding up to our detailed description we published yesterday, AICN posted their own summary of the 6-min Harry Potter preview on the San Diego Comic Con. Some passages for you to enjoy:

They showed about a minute of the scene where Harry gets his wand. The old wand selling wizard hands him a wand and we see that great shot that was in the second trailer of Harry taking ahold of the wand and getting slightly illuminated from above while the dust in the air swirls magically in the air. The old wizard then says, “Curious. It’s curious that you’re matched with that wand.” “Why?” asks Harry. “Because its brother gave you that scar,” he answers.

We were introduced to Malfoy in the next new footage. He was introducing himself to Harry in this scene, making fun of Ron’s shrubby clothes and telling Harry he should choose who he hangs with carefully. The kid [Tom Felton] they got playing Malfoy feels perfect. He’s a mean little bastard and I know what mean little bastards look like because I’ve seen them up close. This kid playing Malfoy is very realistic.

Speaking of perfect casting, the next scene that jumped out at me was Alan Rickman’s Prof. Snape walking briskly into his classroom, muttering some nastiness and then turning around to Harry and you get that scene that was in the trailer.

I’m dying for this film. The more I see of it, the cooler it looks and the more I want them to hurry up and start doing the sequels. Goddamnit!
