Surprisingly, I know at least one person (Rachael) who doesn't know
that. She saw the first film, was surprised that they would kill
off a lead character so early, but when she asked she got the answer
"wait and see". She didn't read the books - she tried but found them
heavy going.

I imagine there will be others in this position.

about some of the plot to know (at least in this example) what happens next.

Well then, for those who don't mind the spoilers, there's now higher-quality
versions available.

Download them and taunt yourself with the time you'll have to wait.....

Damn university computers that refuse to play such things! Damn living in
halls and not having a phoneline for internet connections! Damn arriving at
the cinema late and missing the trailers! Damn December still being two
months away!

Hmmm...I have a cunning plan m'lady. <cue various Blackadder quotes>

Maybe we could convince our esteemed committee to show trailers before the
film on Thursday whilst they wait for everyone to arrive? Trailers for
future films they're about to show too, maybe (which does cover TT as I'd
hope we'll have a trip organised to go see it?).

If you need someone to copy from computer screen to video let me know.
(It's not as hard as it used to be, but people might not have the
ADSL->PC->VHS setup.)

There's also a thing called "Troops" which is a Star Wars fanflick,
that the newer members may not have seen.

That sounds like a truly brilliant idea to me!
Though I was slightly disturbed to find that Harry Potter started at five
past seven on thursday, as in previous years 7pm has always meant the film
actually starting at about quarter/half past, since nobody turns up for
seven. May have been enthusiastic freshers and all, but this trailer idea
does rest on a small time gap between the start time on the posters and the
film actually starting.
Either that or I have to learn to get my lazy behind to where I'm meant to
be on time.

Harry Potter's a pretty damned long film. I imagine people wanted to be
able to actually spend some time in the pub afterwards. IFIS history has
repeatedly proved that you NEED to get plenty of members to the pub if
you want the society to do well NEXT year, and if you want to get
freshers to the pub, you pretty much need to do it in the first few
weeks of term.

It's a good thing we don't get all the government we pay for.

I know several people in this position, and one of them is actually
complaining about the trailer "giving away too much". Though, then again, I
know someone else who, having not read the book, knew immmediately that
Gandalf couldn't possible be dead after the first film, cos "people never do
in films when that happens".
