Or maybe the trailer being crap, the movie will be insanely awesome? Or insanely worse, I dunno. Still not happy that they split the last movie into two on the basis that they "want to deliver the complete story." Yeah, you missed that opportunity for full dedication about 4 movies ago, jackasses. And now you have Twilight following suit with their ridiculous final book/film. All I say is they better full film the birth sequence in FULL R coverage to justify it. That'll scare girls into not fucking before marriage (or after marriage...think about it, dads).

Come on Rob, Harry Potter films are not godly or anything, but they are fun on occasion. I'll be honest I almost quit with Harry 4 (fell asleep) & 5 (almost as boring as 4), but 6 brought me back. I'm hoping 7 & 8 finish strong.

My personal favorite of the movies thus far:

3, 6, 1, 2, 5, & 4.

Half-Blood Prince was a mess. They skipped all the most important plot points and instead focused on the social fluff that had nothing to do with the wider story. Now people are going into the last movie(s) with no real understanding of horcruxes, Snape's involvement in- well- EVERYTHING, Snape's background with Lilly and James, the details of the last time Voldemort rose to power, the giants, and so on.

Eh, it's a teaser. The teaser for Half-Blood Prince was, if anything, shittier. It was literally just a memory flashback of Voldemort as a kid saying he could talk to snakes. Creepy, yes, but shitty. And as befitting my apparently polar opposite taste in everything from ZeroCorpse (bawww anime is japanese bawww) I actually thought the sixth movie was halfway decent compared to the mess that was the fifth film. They cut out a lot of stuff, yes, but they did get the crux (no pun intended) of it in (albeit leaving out some very important memories) and i liked the cinematography anyway.

The problem with this movie is that there's a large section of the book where not much happens and they're on the run. But it's necessary to include some of that to keep the thematic feel of the book as well - they're literally fugitives for a good portion. On the other hand there's plenty of scenes where shit blows up and if they keep the cinematography from the last film it'll be nice.

Am I crazy or did Hermione have blood all over her hands in one of those shots?

I have got to get back and finish reading those books.

What footage did everyone expect? This is footage right off the editing bay, no post-production work or anything. Not a whole lot you can show at such an early stage.

Honestly, that trailer was worth it too see that John Hurt is back. He hasn't been in the movies since the first one (when his character in the books was technically last seen in the forth one), so I was getting a little worried.

And nice to see Warwick Davis returning as Griphook, but that was to be expected.

Running around the woods? really? 2/3 of the book was them running around the woods. That why it was the most boring installment of the series.

Looks like an appropriate adaptation of the most overhyped camping trip in history.

The 7th book IS essentially just full of either running or sitting around camping. HP turned to absolute rubbish after book five.

Half-Blood Prince was the least enjoyable of the movies so far since it felt really really short and choppy. I don't know whether that's just because I'm a fan of the book series or not, but...

Also, two things about this next movie:
1) The first half of the book is mostly Harry, Ron, and Hermoine wandering about with most of the action taking place in the latter half, so sadly, that will likely be much of movie 7 as well.
2) I'm not sure how well a lot of the plot will work since they cut Hermoine founding SPEW out of the films entirely and House Elves play a bit role in a few key scenes in the novel.
