Well, that's a start.  
Trailer's up! Sorry for the shitty link; better alternatives will no doubt soon become are available: direct downloads in HD in sizes smallish, medium, and large. You can also stream it via Moviefone or here (it's the same player on another AOL-owned site, but for some reason, it worked better for me), but I highly recommend skipping all of that irritating buffering and just downloading and using VLC instead. It looks so much prettier that way.

And when all else fails, there's always a blurry YouTube embed:

With the tech stuff out of the way, a quick reaction: that sure doesn't look like any romantic comedy I've seen! It may be Dumbledore- and creepy Tom-centric, but that chilling shot of Ron motionless on the common room floor is actually what made me nnnngggaaaaaahhhhh the most. Also, the stuff that is likely from the controversial attack on the Burrow scene looks really quite good. It all does, actually. Or at least what I can see in a tiny video box does, anyway. Stupid ugly streaming video. Things to add upon seeing it in HD: Greyback! That still of we saw earlier of Dumbledore in the boat in glorious motion! Wow, that looks pretty, and much larger in scale than I imagined it would be.

So, WB, when do we get a full-length trailer that has, oh, I don't know, Harry in it? (And Hermione, for that matter! Are we sure Kloves really wrote this one, because there was nary a glimpse of pink hoodie anywhere!) At this rate, it'll probably be Halloween. Hardy har.

(Oh, and additionally, the suit? Totally purple. YESSSSS.)

I love how you say you're there as if there was a chance you wouldn't be. ;)

Happy to be helpful!

Woot! Thank you! You know, I didn't miss Harry at all in that trailer! Ha. You're right though, that shot of Ron was creepy! The whole thing had a creepy vibe. I'm lame enough to have gotten a bit jumpy when that flash of Voldy came up.

I'm so glad a trailer finally arrived! Do they know when there will be one attached to a movie in the theatres?

I think the movie is going to be a weird mixture of creepy and funny, which could be kind of interesting tonally.

I don't know that it was ever confirmed, but the rumor was that this trailer was going to show in front of the Mummy movie that's coming out this Friday.
