Yeah it was; that did make my inner kid squee.
Yes, but. My daughter is of the “original” wave of HP fans. She never went to see HP 5. 
(she saw HP 1 about 5 times and has the soundtrack). I got used to the Nov. openings–even though there were a few summer ones. I wish it were coming out soon, instead of July of 09.
anyone else intrigued by the trailer? Why is Ginny in her bathrobe in a corn field? There seems to be a house on fire–is it the Burrow? I actually stopped the tape and looked–the girl who is kissing Ron is not Hermione (has to be Lavender, then), but who is the cute dark chick at the end of the tape that’s making eyes at Harry? I don’t recall anyone doing that. This is the book/ film where he and Ginny get together. 
They added the scene at the Burrow, with Death Eaters attacking. (It’s unclear why, even though I scour Mugglenet daily.)
I can’t recall dark-haired-girl’s name, and don’t have my book handy, but I seem to remember that Harry tries to distance himself from Ginny (It’s too dangerous! Voldy could go after you!) and that there were other girls vying for Harry’s attention at that point in time.
The dark haired girl is Romilda Vane, maybe. I only remember her name because it’s an anagram of “I’m a Dan lover.” She’s the one who put a love potion in the chocolate cauldrons, isn’t she?
If that scene gets cut, it’s going on my list of irks.
:smack:
You can tell it’s been awhile since I read the books. I pictured Romilda being much LESS attractive, actually. Cute anagram, though.
This irks me, too. She’s too pretty, and her oddness seems to have been reduced to speaking in a high-pitched spacey voice.
Okay, okay. As soon as I’ve finished re-reading the Aubrey Maturin series (I’m on book 11), I’ll go back for a Potter-thon. I used to be able to nitpick with the best of them, but reading this thread has me repeatedly saying “who?”
I hope y’all are happy. 
Most of my pet peeves (no pun intended) seem to have been mentioned, but one thing that I really disliked was the third task in the Goblet of Fire movie. Dumbledore’s Yoda-esqe warning before the task was just silly (“you might lose…yourself”) and the only thing in the maze that gave the contestants problems was the walls closing in (something that didn’t happen in the book), and none of the obstacles in the book were in the movie - no monsters, no spells cast for defense, just run away from the closing-in walls…which in effect herded the contestants toward the end-point of the maze. Bad, bad translation from book to movie.
