but heyI think the pacing was intentional though. Rowling wanted the world to slowly expand with each volume.
1st 2 books: The outside wizarding world is mostly shown to Harry through the hearsay of others around Harry, he really has no concept of what goes on beyond the walls of Hogwarts
Book 3: Politics and intrigue begin to filter in, Harry is starting to get a sense that people really see him as someone important, fortunately he doesn't let it go to his head.
Book 4: OMG there's a whole world out there beyond even England, oh and hey, that asian chick's pretty hot.
Book 5: Politics, Politics, Politics, and maybe that asian chick wasn't so hot after all.
Book 6: Holy shot, we all gonna die. Screw the man he can't help us. BTW, Evil has to come from somewhere. And what's with the hair where there was no hair before?
Book 7: School's for losers, you'll never really know what's going on until you experience it for yourself.

For the most part, I haven't felt that the movies or trailers have really delivered as much as they could have, in terms of presenting the core essence of the books in a way that really entices you into anticipating the movie's release. That is, until now. Of course, looking back, I probably have the highest appraisal for books 5 and 6, so there might be some bias. That still felt like a REALLY well-made trailer though..

Pretty reasonable angst, all things considered.

I meant the movies
I don't even have an opinion anymore....
I'm going to resist and refuse to see this shlock only to be forced into it by a so called "loved one"
and then I'm going to leave the theater thinking - that was stupid and everyone, i do mean EVERYONE will say: OMGF!HOWCANYOUNOTLIKEHARRYPOTTERHESTHEBESTESTEVERYOU'DUNDERSANDIFYOUREADTHEBOOKS!!!!!

I suppose it's impossible at this point for you to "discover" the books like so many readers did ten years ago.

I think that's an overstatement.
and FYI I am *still* angsty that Gilliam didn't get to direct the first film. Talk about perfect.
The only catch there is - When was the last time Gilliam directed a good film?
this one looks better than the previous one. I say this as a movie goer, not a reader/fan of the series. But the last one had me bored out of my mind at the theater...seemed kind of like a filler movie. JMO
