New Domestic 'Harry Potter 5' Trailer Hits!
Filed under: Action, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Trailer Trash, Remakes and Sequels
Sure, I'm a fan of the Harry Potter movies. I go on opening night, but that's due not as much to the fangirl bit of me as my insidious curiosity, since I'm not reading the books until they are all out. Yesterday, I was really tired, and while trying to stay awake, I decided to watch the international trailer for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix that Erik recently alerted us to. The flipping thing amped me up and somehow ripped some energy from the far recesses of my blood stream and got me through the day. I can't remember the last time I saw a trailer that good. And then comes today, with the release of the domestic trailer.Sweet crap, I like it even more than the last one. Trailer makers of the world should take a cue from the people who put this together. Sure, I was excited by the Spider-Man 3 trailers, but man, all I can think to say right now is Spider WHO? What's even better about this Potter trailer is that it has a lot more bits, has removed one of the shockers from the international one (for those who aren't reading the series), and added more action and some Potter-Chang* tenderness. Not only that, but you can see a change in Ron, who is definitely maturing, even though some of his key moments were cut. This offering is all about the rebellion, we get to see the young wizards training to be heroes and it's got all those juicy images that Ryan posted last night (could Bellatrix Lestrange, aka Helena Bonham Carter, look any cooler?). And hey, if you're not sure, go check it out for yourself. I've made it no secret that my biggest draw before this was the thought of more Sirius Black, but I'm amped even though he had only an itty bitty blip in the deluge of kickassery.

I couldn't agree more. This is one of the most engaging trailers I have ever seen. However, I don't like that they show basically the hole movie. The two major events people are looking forward to (kiss with Chen and Sirius death) are BOTH in the trailer. Really, you can actually see Sirius taking a deathly blow to protect Harry. I don't think that is necessary. However, I love the look. Potter 5 is my event movie of the year now.

sweet jesus! the movie looks more exciting than the book actually was. i am really pumped, although i am still extremely let down by taking out the Ron Quidditch storyline.

Wow! This sounds really good! I've only watched the international one, but that already has me jimping up for the summer! And the last book of Harry Potter comes out! I mean, the previous ones, Chamber of Secrets and Sorcerer's Stone, seemed like a fairy tale, but finally it looks serious!!! Yay!

I don't really understand why everyone is so excited for the kiss. It's not exactly significant compared to all the other things that are going to happen in this movie.

if you want to read the last book when it comes out, i suggest starting to read them now...depending on how fast you read. if you're dedicated to the whole "cant put it down" thing, you can probably start in a month. but, since the last book comes out this july, i strongly suggest getting started asap. 6 books is a lot of catch up. trust me, i did it when #6 came out. and dont wait till after the 7th is out. lots of wonderfull little clues might be ruined prematurely for you.
and i too have been spazing out over the new trailers. i'm having a hard time finding real-life friends my age who share my thrills on the matter(mid 20s), but maybe i'm just talking to the wrong people.

OMG! Im soo phyched about the new Harry Potter movie! The tralier is definately the best so far! It does suck that they cut out the quittich for the movie and that they showed most of the OoTP in the trailer but whats even better is that the last 20 min. of the movie are in 3D!! These are the scenes where the D.A are battling in the ministry so its bound to be VERY cool!
And if you are waiting to read all the books once they come out you should start now. But it may also depend on how fast you read - I for example read the 6th book in 2 days...but Im a little obsessed. lol!
If you aren't goin to read the books at all, you might want to re-consider that. The movies dont have everything that the books do, like in book 1 (American version) there are more than three chambers that the trio go through.
Anyways! I definately CANNOT wait till the movie!!

I think this trailer is awesome, it really makes me want to see the movie now. I am a bit disappointed that they cut Harry's hair short though, especially since in the books it describes it always long and messy (and is constantly at the same length even after they shave it off and it grows back) other than that it looks amazing.
