The upcoming Harry Potter movie - a new featurette

They’ve released a making of kind of clip which has quite a few new shots from the film. Some of them are pretty cool :)

The clip has naturally got me all the more excited (I’m a really easy publicity target, aren’t I? ;) ) and I felt like writing out all the stuff that caught my eye, so here goes ;-P

Draco Malfoy
Yep, the fixation is still there ;) And the clip played into it nicely.
I’m really excited about the bathroom scene. All the little bits of it that they’ve put up so far look great. Tom Felton looks beautifully vulnerable in those clips and I love the cinematography :)
At the moment it’s probably the scene I’m most excited about *grin*

The cinematography
I was already anticipating great things before, but seriously - the cinematography on this clip is looking absolutely spectacular. The way they’re using colour and light is amazing :)

The Harry/Ginny kiss
This is something I wasn’t particularly excited about, but I like what I see *grin* I had assumed that now that Harry’s had his first, very awkward kiss with Cho Chang, he’d be smoother with Ginny, but apparently not ;) He’s just standing there in this tense, upright pose with his eyes closed while the girl is doing all the work lol

Hermione and Ron
I love the look of Hermione on these clips. The Excuse me, I have to go and vomit line is beautiful. It’s comedy and angst at the same time. And she generally seems very appropriately uptight and snarky in those clips.
I was always expecting Rupert Grint to be hilarious in this film and nothing is disappointing me so far *grin*
I’m also really looking forward to how Cormac McLaggen and Lavender Brown turn out. It was nice to see a bit more of Lavender finally, but they seem to be keeping quiet on McLaggen…

Snape
There’s one shot of Snape that looks new to me and it’s quite weird. I mean I guess it’s a little difficult to make out cause it’s really short, but his facial expression and body language look rather curious - like he’s on the verge of crying or something. I have mixed feelings, but it’s kind of interesting…

Dumbledore
I’m opening up to the possibility that Dumbledore isn’t going to annoy me *that* badly. I actually liked the delivery of In my life I’ve seen things that are truly horrific. Now I know you’ll see worse. It’s one of those wise old wizard cliché kind of lines that usually annoy me, but I can see this one working *grin* So maybe they just chose all the worst ones for the trailers and it won’t be so bad in the film ;) I can hope anyway…

Quidditch
This is probably the first time I’m looking forward to Quidditch scenes *grin* In the end one Quidditch match is much like another, it’s difficult to write or film them originally. But this time round I’m quite excited about having Ron doing Quidditch. His triumphs and failures should be quite amusing to watch cause it’s not just about the action or whatever, a lot of it is about what’s in his head. And I like what I’ve seen on the clips so far :)
I’m also looking forward to the Cormac McLaggen subplot and I assume they must have kept the scene when Luna does the commentating cause that was a comedic element from the book that was just too good to pass on ;)

Harry looks funny
As much as I love Daniel Radcliffe’s humour in interviews, he never got that many laughs out of me in the films. I like what I see on this clip though :) There’s already a couple of things that *are* going to get laughs out of me the way he’s delivering *grin*
