FILM NEWS: Well, that explains where I misplaced my spectacular.

And to think, this morning I was thinking about porridge, payday and some marriage that is apparently happening to everyone. Everything has changed since then – well, the first trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II has hit the interweb (via HeyUGuys) – and that’s as close to everything as you’re ever going to get.

If, from now on, all I am to think about is this one trailer, it’s a good thing Warner Bros. have gone to such lengths to ensure that there is three months worth of rewatch value to keep me going. With just about every page from the last few chapters of J. K. Rowling’s book getting a few milliseconds or so to shine, there is a near infinite amount of decoding, deconstructing and drooling to do before 15 July lumbers into view.

From the slowed theme at the beginning to the shitstorm of everything at the end, Deathly Hallows: Part II has well and truly been teased. We see Lilly and Petunia, Lupin and Tonks, Molly Weasley and Bellatrix LeStrange, Voldermort and Nagini as well as Harry, Ron and Hermione looking more than a little rough around the edges. From dragons to fiendfyre, Godricks Hollow to Hogwarts and faithfulness to the book to intriguing innovation, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II really does look the wizard’s knees!

Let’s go kill us some Horcruxes!
