I downloaded a copy of the second official (’domestic’ = ?) trailer which was released Sunday 22nd April - to save The Leaky Cauldron’s bandwidth - and I keep watching it. I love the second or two we see of Snape - “discipline your mind”.
Good news: Emma Watson and Rupert Grint have confirmed they’ll reprise their roles in the Harry Potter film adaptations for the last two films. There had been speculation that Emma - the only one of the trio for which Potter constitutes her only role so far - wanted to quit. These rumours were dispelled today as producers announced both her and Rupert had signed to do H-B P and Deathly Hallows.
Radcliffe, who plays Potter, signed up earlier in March. While I still feel he isn’t a great actor, it would be odd to have someone else play him, after the first four adaptations, so I suppose I’m pleased about him as well…
