The first teaser trailer has debuted on Apple.com, and you can see it here, in QuickTime format. It's very teensy-tiny, but it does look exciting, with a similar dark feeling to the previous film (both in its colour palette and its content).

Sadly no Snape - in fact I don't think I have even seen any stills of Snape from the new film yet. But then he's by no means the only character we haven't seen in a GoF context yet - other important ones including McGonagall, Hagrid, Barty Crouch Jr. and Mad-Eye Moody, to the best of my knowledge. So hopefully it doesn't mean he doesn't have much of a role, because he is pretty important to the plot.

I agree with you there, although i'm worried that they'll miss out some of the key detail that's in the book - I think this story is to be told as one - there is only one climax and if they make the book as 2 films then they risk people losing interest as with the second matrix film.

Yes, I suppose this is the crux of it, for books 4 and 5.

i think for book 5 the fight scene will be an appropriate climax to be honest - i just think they'll be struggling to make it into two again.
Really there's no reason that they should - it's be better to just make the film a bit longer - was written as one book for a reason.

I suppose there is the problem of only one climax - I admit I hadn't really considered that.

But there will be so much that they HAVE to leave out, that may be important, simply down to the length of the book. It is rather large for a book, and has a lot of detail. Even the first three films were not especially short, and they were significantly shorter than 4 and 5.

I suppose we can't really make a proper judgement until the film finally comes out!
