Wow.

That's some cool trailer!

Potteriffic!

I want it NOW!!!!!!! :(

Oh Em Gee, I can't frelling wait.



It looks totally good.



(oh, and Daniel is cute with short hair)








[so jealous that NA & €uro have seen his short hairs]

I don't think I can watch another HP film without feeling dirty.

Pfft, welcome to my world. I've had the hots for the boy and girl jail-bait Hogwarts students for the past couple of movies.

Yes, but you haven't seen hotties naked!

Please no more Jesus Juice headmaster!!


Love the Trailer, cant wait to see the movie..

I just hope it's not as much of a bummer as the book was. Effects pretty oooh aaah. :)

Yeah, the books started going seriously downhill with this one. Just lacking in joy and fun, too frelling dark.

Hopefully, this film will continue the wisdom of departing from the book in major respects, and find a way to tell a story of dark and evil wizardry with the fun that such a tale calls for - despite what may be happening plotwise.

I'm with you. Order of the Phoenix was the hardest book for me to get through. Frankly, I was tired after I read it.

The trailer looks good, though, still dark, but I hop eplenty of good action. The Hallway of the Ministry looks very much like I imagined it would.

More Snape! More Snape!

Best trailer of the series, so far, IMO. The twins! I love those twins!

But Voldemort in a hot 3-piece suit? It's hot. He looks GOOD, despite the snake face. That's just...wrong. WRONG!

Yeah Baby!:D

I love Imelda Staunton, but she's just not squat and nasty enough, as I envisioned from the book. I'm sure she will be fine, but, she needs to be a little bit nastier for my taste.

Yeah, not sure I agree with the casting of Umbridge. I pictured someone that would much more resemble a human version of Roz from Monsters, Inc.

The trailer though, OMG, it's cut like a Star Wars trailer! I can't wait for this film!

Bingo! You are spot on! :snap:

He may be evil, but he can still be stylish. Hehe.

Agreed on Umbridge - I was hoping they'd do a full-on CG toad-face for her.

Order of the Phoenix was the hardest book for me to get through. After Goblet of Fire. Before Halfblood Prince. I think Rowling developed Anne Rice syndrome, convincing herself and those around her that every invention and wrinkle merited inclusion. Either that, or she started writing with one eye on the camera.

The OK Corral ending of Order of the Phoenix was tedious reading. I imagine it will look lively in the movie, though.

When I think of Miss Umbridge, I think of Mary Woronov as Evelyn Togar from "Rock And Roll High School"

Oh god, I had the biggest crush on Ms. Togar!




Rowlins defintely got Rice Syndrome. Order of Arizona's Capital was a slog, Halfblood Prince was absolutely unbearable. I wouldn't be looking forward to the next book at all if it weren't the last one.

I will be glad to be done with the series, it has gone woefully downhill. The decision to make the books more "mature" as the characters grow older was well-intentioned, but the execution has been crappy. Dark, brooding, unentertaining, maudlin and fvcking boring is not 'more mature.'


Frankly, I don't know where the movie series is going to go either. I think Priz. of Azkaban was brilliant, and Goblet of Fire was entertaining because it basically joke-riffed on all the characters. That's a perfectly acceptable thing to do at some point in a series ... but there's usually nowhere else to go after that.


Goblet was certainly a step down in filmmaking from the Alfonso Cuaron-helmed 3rd film, and it succeeded mostly on charming character comedy.

The series looks to have painted itself into a corner. The stories are just dark and nasty from here on out, and I fear the films may either run out of steam or run aground.




But, hey, did I mention Daniel looks really cute with short hair?

My wife has been rereading all the books in anticipation of the finale. She's thinking that there'll be a Victorian style epilogue that will establish that Harry married Ginny and became a very stable teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts. I replied that I didn't think that was a good payoff, but that it would provide the launching point for a new series:

Welcome Back, Potter.

Maybe a second renaissance for John Travolta's flagging career, as Professor Barbarino.

Visible mojo for both Strangler Lewis and iSm. It's too early to laugh so hard.
