Thanks for the update and letting us know that we can hear more on the up coming movie {albeit months after we expected it! :-( }
...I hope all realizes that Slughorn will not be the "new" DADA teacher...based on the books, he comes in as Potions Master...
If you haven't read the books, you'll have to guess who the DADA is...

Yes, but will any of it be in HD? Doubtful, if there's any truth to what I posted here:

The new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is not Horice Slughorn- he is the new Potions Master. Severus Snape is the new defense against the Dark Arts teacher.
