Hogwarts Herald

I just found that there is another trailer for the movie now out. It shows a lot more scenes than the first one I posted about here.

Overall I do like the trailer and it looks like the movie will be exciting. However, at the same time the trailer seems to have a lot of added dialogue that is more screenplay than what I remember from the book and I only relistened to this book as an audiobook the beginning of this month, so it is rather fresh in my mind. It just seems to have a lot of added things that are not in the same spirit as the book, but I do not think they are bad enough to make it too far off from the book. This trailer does have some of the more interesting scenes, such as introducing Professor Slughorn, the part where Ron Weasley ends up accidentally ends up under a love spell meant to have gotten Harry interested one of the girls wooing over him as the Chosen One, and the when Ron collapses in Slughorn’s office because the liquor had been poisoned.

The one scene that really gets me as absurd is when Hermione tells Harry the girl he is staring at is only interested in him because he is the Chosen One and he replies “But I am the Chosen One” and then Hermione hits him over the head with a newspaper. He then says something like “K, Sorry, kidding.” This is a funny scene, but I really do not think anything like that happened in the book and it seems like unnecessary fluff when there is already is more than enough good stuff actually in the book including stuff that they probably cut to keep the movie length reasonable.
