'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' International Trailer Has Arrived

That's right folks, an international full-length trailer for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix has now arrived online over at AOL UK, so get on over there and check it out. Aside from the trailer, we also have for you a brand new image from the film (as seen above), which shows Harry walking away from friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger as if he's on a mission and, from the looks on Ron and Hermione's faces, they ain't so down with it. Is he going after Lord Voldemort? Did he forget to change his underwear? Or is he off to reveal the Wizard of Oz as the fraud that he really is? You'll have to wait till July 13 to find out, as that's when Order of the Phoenix officially arrives in theaters.
The new trailer is pretty spectacular, and pretty straight-forward; even though I haven't read the books, I could still follow what was going on. Imelda Staunton fans will be happy to know that the trailer is Dolores Umbridge-heavy; she floats around screen in a delightful pink outfit throughout most of the trailer. And then we get right down to business: Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) has returned, though Harry seems to be the only one who truly believes this. Sirius Black (Gary Oldman) tells Harry not to go after Voldemort because he'll lose, but somehow I can't see little (actually, he's not so little anymore) Potter listening to that advice. Toward the end of the trailer (where all the action takes place), it appears the stage is set for one helluva wicked battle. Check it out now, and definitely let us know what you think.

In the book Ron and Hermione are new prefects and have to sit with the other prefects on the train so Harry is on his own. That's how he meets Luna Lovegood. This scene could be that.

These Harry Potter movies are such repetitive crap.

The worst thing about the book this is based on is the first third where the action takes place in Sirius' house, where Harry is all teen-angsty. Hopefully they've minimized that part.
The best thing about the book is the final battle, and the more we see of that, the more kick butt this movie will actually be. But yes, let's finish this series up before Harry starts to gray up around the temples...

I loved Imelda Staunton's scenes and I loved when Ron asked Hermione who she was and what she did with Hermione.lol. That scene in the photo is probably after Harry hallucinates and sees Voldy in a suit (Armani? LOL) and they look on worriedly at him. I htink that's what it's about.

I've never gotten excited about a new Harry Potter movie, even though I've eventually caught the previous ones and rather enjoyed them all.
But the prospect of a full on "War of the Wizards" has me very much looking forward to this new installment. Combine that with some subversive, underground Wizard training scenes and I think I'll check this out sooner, rather than later.
