About the trailer...

[Flockman The Wise]

I've been wondering what the choir was singing (sounded vaguely familiar) so I looked it up and realized it's from Act IV of Shakespeare's "Macbeth." The lyrics go like this:

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble--
Something wicked this way comes
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,—
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Something wicked this way comes.

I found that extremely fascinating and have been watching the trailer over (it sounds at first is if the choir is singing something different) and each time the lyrics sound more clear than the last.

:) That song is one of the things I really like about the trailer, and I think pulling Shakespeare in there actually kind of fits. Rowling likes to pull bits from different cultures and mythologies, so it makes sense that Alfonso would use some good ol' MacBeth in there.

Thanks for the lyrics, Flockman. :)

[Fleurdelacour]

Knew it was from Shakespere! I dont do A-Level English for no reason :p Thanks for that Flockman!

[Flockman The Wise]

No problem! I agree, it fits in well with the trailer, especially the part with the dementor which is easily my favorite part of the entire trailer.

I get that song stuck in my head for an hour after watching that trailer, then the lyrics die out in my head and it's just the really neat "something wicked comes this way!" I rather enjoy having that tune stuck in my head :D

i knew that was shakespeare and i dont do a-level english :p

macbeth is possibly my favourite (ie, least crap and boring) shakespeare EVER.

i did really love another but i cent remember what its called... the one with the twins and one's a tranny (or something) and the other's a tranny (but in reverse) and its a bit confusing and there's a rich man and lots of sex. but it has been a while since i read/saw it so i'm probably completely off.

the above post had absolutely nothing to do with anything.... how the hell did i manage that?

[ChianaWeasley]

Just as a side note; 'Midsummer Night's Dream' is my favorite shakespeare play.

But back to the subject at hand, the trailers!

I remember when I saw my very FIRST trailer for Sorceror's Stone at the cinema. That is still by far the best of them all :D

Wonderful when seen performed at night on Midsommer Common in Cambridge by the Cambridge Shakespeare Society...

[Fleurdelacour]

Are you thinking of Twefth Night Monica?... There were twins and trannies in that...

I like Much Ado About Nothing... Measure for Measure was a bit weird... But got an A for the coursework... Yeah anyway...

That's cool. I don't like it though. Not my kinda movie.

[Little Miss]

Twefth Night!!! thats the one!!!

thank you, thats been bugging me for about three years!

didn't i see that with you?

[Fleurdelacour]

I don't think I saw it with you no... I don't think I even saw Twelfth Night on stage... I remember seeing Much Ado when I was thirteen at the open air theatre in Regents Park...

[ChianaWeasley]

PoA comes out in June...correct? That's a longggg time to wait, but we'll make due I guess. :p

didnt we see it as one of those gay cartoons they give to schools in like year 5?

[Hermionegirl]

I feel the same way as you ChianaWeasley. It is a long way away from now and I can't wait to see it:D !! I guess I should read the book about 5 more times before the movie comes out.
:( :( :( :( :(

[ChianaWeasley]

Well, reading the books over and over, until the film comes out sounds like a plan. But I've got such a long book list, it's crazy really, but thats on the next up part of my list.
I'll just keep watching the trailer until then, lol, it's better then nothing at all ;) :p

[Hermionegirl]

ChianaWeasley you are right, I will most likley watch the tralier untill the movie comes out!!!! I can't wait!

H-girl

[ChianaWeasley]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed in hoping that they dont overshow the previews and tire it out before May. Like they did with cat in The Hat, though I still want to see it....:p But if they do insist on showing it constantly, i hope they make a few more trailers to show off. ;)

[Hermionegirl]

I agree so very much!!! I do want to see the cat in the hat!! I don't want to see to much and spoil the entire movie.:p

[Irys]

Arrgh. I sort of saw the trailer this morning, but they played it at the end of an entertainment news show, with the show's credits running over it. How annoying!

[susanna]

Does anyone have a link to the trailer?

[Hermionegirl]

susanna, do you mean the dementors hand or something else?:confused:

if it is something else tell me and I will try to answer your question.:)

H-girl

[susanna]

I think you mean someone else.

[ChianaWeasley]

big dark thing? Oh, well that must be sirius in his dog form...I dont know what other big dark thing you could be confused about. Well, unless I didn't see the same trailer as you did :p .....maybe I'll just go check it out (another excuse to watch it);)

[Flockman The Wise]

Look REALLY closely at the part where Sirius is standing and pointing at something (probably wormtail) and you can see Ron lying in the bed behind him with his broken leg (at least, in the book it was broken.)

[ChianaWeasley]

Well, that would explain it...we aren't seeing the same trailer. :LOL: Well, now it makes sense to me not understanding what you're looking at :p
