Deathly Hallows Trailer Released Today!

I'm so excited because today the Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Official HD Trailer was released today! It's so awesome! Even though I don't truly believe that Harry Potter can be spoiled, I guess for you persons out there who refuse to read the greatest book series EVER should cover your eyes after the trailer so you're not to be spoiled.

READ THE BOOKS. It does a body good!





*************SPOILERS*************

Firstly I love how the beginning of the trailer is the end of the book! Ralph Fiennes plays an amazing Voldemort and Dan Radcliffe looks hot hot HOT in this trailer. It's like everything is right. I haven't seen his hair looks so sexy since Order of the Phoenix. I also feel like every film they get his wardrobe to be better and better. This trailer also gives a lot of feedback on new scenes that aren't in the book as well as sweet treats of some of my favorite parts of the book being included. As we see at from 0:06-0:55 its the end of DH. Then at :57 we see Ollivander in his kidnapped state which leads me to believe that the wand lore theory is to be included as it rightfully should. Next we see slices of the Seven Potters sequence, Dobby's death on the beach of Shell Cottage, and maybe you can help me out with the scene at 1:01. It looks like Hermione walking but where? Is this one of the adventures to get food while on the lamb? or is this when they go to Godrics Hollow? If the food bit, what a way to throw us off and how boring a scene they put in, but none the less its content from the book and that is always important. If at Godrics Hollows then does that mean the Harry and Hermione don't use Polyjuice Potion?

Anyways next we have the armor around Hogwarts at 1:05 which isn't very important except for the fact that its visually stunning CGI.  My next point of confusion is at 1:06-1:08. Who is this man? I can't remember from the book who he might be and furthermore why is he stopping the Hogwarts express? Could it be to check for HP? But in the book they know HP isn't at Hogwarts before the train leaves the station. I wonder if this is a new scene they wrote for the movie. I like it a lot, it's very eerie. The next important nugget of insight is at 1:14 where we know that that is after the trio break into Gringotts. I personally love several scenes after this shot, the one at 1:22 where I think that's just after Fred dies (RIP) and at 1:27 I think that is Ron at the Ministry after he's changed back to his true form.

A very very confusing part of the trailer is 1:33-1:36 where Voldemort has Harry tied up. I don't understand this because after HP tricks Voldy into thinking he's dead HP gets away before Voldy realizes it. I did love the language that Harry used though, "...because I've something worth living for." ooooooohhhhhh spine tingling no?

The rest of the trailer includes a lot of tid bits but I don't want to write about them now. Snape's death scene, Ron killing the Horcrux, Ginny kissing Harry (swoon. He looks short in that shot though), the Godics Hallow attack, and finally the 2 wands fighting....AWESOME but question? Where is everyone else in that scene? It is like this huge spectacle and it looks like its just Harry and Voldemort. I wonder if David Yates added an additional fight sequence in there.

Overall I thought this was a solid trailer. It made me a little sad and I may have teared up some happy tears. I think Dan and Rupert look hot in it. I love their hair cuts and their grudge. Harry actually looks beat up for once, not just dirty/bloody. The make-up is spot on. I love the special effects, I think they look clean and a lot of time was spent on them. I'm so excited for part I!
