I've watched the trailors many times, and looked at all the pics I could find from the movie. It looks good, but I don't like all the changes.
Like, the school uniform. Now it's supposed to be closer to what they actually wear in the books, but it seems no closer to me, since in the books they only wear a plain black robe. I don't see any point in changing the uniform, it was fine before, and it's not like now it's a whole lot better.
In the trailor, I like the part where Hermione grabs Ron's hand, and there's the swkward bit (since I believe they'll eventually get together), but they're putting in these Ron/Hermione bits WAY too early! There's no mentions of any of it until GoF, but they're doing too much with it too soon.
I'm ok with the fact that they're wearing Muggle clothes more, since during those scenes they're not in school so they wouldn't technichally have to wear their robes, but I don't really like the clothes that Hermione's wearing. She definatly doesn't seem like a girl who'd wear pink, or a rainbow belt! Also on Hermione, they changed her hair
again! In the first movie it was really bushy, then in the second it was curly, now it's a lot shorted, and not quite as curley. And look at this pic:
Hermione in ClassWhat's with that? Her hair looks like it's pulled back really neatly or something, when we all know it's supposed to be really bushy and all. If she looks like this now, it won't be that big of a deal when we see her looking really pretty at the Yule Ball!
I know I'm being really nit picky, but I can't really help it. OK, well I probably could, but it just bugs me. Don't get me wrong, I'll totally be there opening day in my costume to see the movie, and I'm sure I'll love it, and it probably will be better than the first two were. It's just that I want the impossible, the movies to perfectly reflect the books, and we all that's sadly never going to happen.
