WB released a new HBP trailer yesterday, and it looks amazing. If you haven't seen it, check it out here at the lovely Leaky Cauldron. I suggest QuicktimeHD 1080px.

This is the most excitement I've felt about a Potter trailer in a long time. It feels like they've done a lot of things 'right' with this one. The memories look fantastic, and scenes like the bridge collapse and Inferi surge will be intense on the big screen. I'm most looking forward to seeing Tom Felton and Alan Rickman's portrayals of Draco and Snape. To see those characters finally fleshed out in movie form will be wonderful.

On a side note: the trailer is playing in front of Twilight when it premieres next Friday. Excellent timing on WB's part because the fandoms are so intertwined, but a bit ironic since HBP was originally slated for release on that date.

Northwest Norman got hit by golf ball size hail last Wednesday and I'm just now uploading pictures. Luckily, the broken glass at our place was limited to my driver's side mirror and a couple of flood light bulbs. Things look pretty dimpled though. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. More at my gallery, but here's a preview:
