I tried to do a search on this but nothing came up so i thought i should start this thread anyway.

i am also not taking credit for this. i saw this on another forum and thought it would be a good thread here.

Each of the Movies always have a tagline. for instance: GoF was "dark adn difficult times lie ahead, harry. soon we must all decide between what is right and what is easy" and the same for the rest. This thread is here so you can think up and poder what the new movie tagline for Order of the Phoenix might be. please post your taglines here. they can be funny, weird, seroius, what ever you want just as long as it's veritaserum approprioate and follows the rules.enjoy and discuss and post away!

Examples: "the second war begins"
"the truth will be revealed" or even"The prohecy that was made shall be told"

Oooh, good topic blue!

Well one off the top of my head would be for them to use some of the wording from the prophecy. Like:

"One will die at the hand of the other" at the beginning, then they add at the end "For neither can live while the other survives."

I'm sure I'll come up with something else when I've had time to think about it. What ever the tag line, its bound to be dark and dramatic...

thanks. hey, now that's a great tagline. that would fit perfect for the movie. i've heard others mention that tagline and i think a lot of people would think it would be a good tagline for the movie.

ok here's another off the top of my head. " everything will soon change"
or "the fate of all is about to be seen" something like that i think.

For some reason, I believe the tagline will be another one from something wise that Dumbledore says. The first line that popped into my head is when Dumbledore says "It is time for me to tell you what I should have told you five years ago, Harry." I mean, they might bandage it up a bit though since that doesn't sound to catchy. Perhaps it would be "It is time for me to tell you everything." or something. I dunno, that's just the first thing that popped in my head.

I like that one too. it may be one of the lines that dumbldore says to harry. after all those are very important in the books so why wouldn't they be taglines. here's another "it's time...everything will change" or "dumbledore telling of the prophecy." those are actually kind of silly though. all i could think of at the moment.

I'm with Razzberry on this one...I'm quite partial to ...For neither can live while the other survives or perhaps The one with the power to vanquish the dark load approaches... Those are at the top of my list anyway

"THE END IS NEAR!"

lol, no I'm just joking!
It would be a really weird tagline, since OotP isn't even the last movie!

Love that one nimbus! I can just hear the voice-over, or not, they might use text instead I suppose. LOL.

The discovery of the prophecy is probably the single most important event in OoTP. I reckon it'd be cool to use it as a tag.

Here's a funny tagline that i saw on a different site that is in fact very funny. "Siriusly...someone dies in this movie". i think that one is kinda dorky but funny as well. anybody got any more taglines?

I like "The one with the power to vanquish..." yeah, that one. I think it would be good to say as the were showing Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at the end, you know? When they show the title at the end of previews and stuff. It could be Trelawney and stuff. It will give it a real creepy air...

Wait, someone dies?!?! Don't ruin it for me, I haven't seen the movie!

Maid wanted:
house cleaning job ready for anyone who is willing to work in discusting house with screaming pitures, boogarts, doxies, crude house-elfs and the people who are arranging the capture of death eaters and Lord voldermort send an owl right away

i know its way too long to be a tagline but hey its funny

Here's a few more that i just thought up:
"voldemorts back!"
"great another hp movie"
"more spells, fun,and VOLDEMORT!"

those would be funny to see as taglines but i doubt it. just thought i might add some more humor.hehe!

1 - Let the second war begin
2- Changes will satrt happening soon
3- Let the battles begin

those are some good ones there steve jones.

here are some more funny ones:

-what happens in this movie again?
-wanted: voldemort
-second war? didn't know there was a first one.

hehehe!

I agree, Nimbus, that would be a good one. Harry was worried that he is a weapon, so what if its something like that? Or...

"there are worse things than death"
"A war is brewing, heroes will emerge, but only one can vanquish the Dark Lord"
"Someone's got detention...and its not Fred and George..."

well i have an idea if the tagline for the third movie was "something wicked this way comes"
dont you think they will biuld fot this one like they did with poa and gof "soon wee must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy" and you know how hermione says everhtings going to change now isnt it? maybe the tagline will be something like "everything changes" i dunno

Oh i wanna go! i wanna go!!! *jumps excitedly*

what about?

'Prophocies: You think they would've learned from Oedipus' dilema...'

Ok.. i know, not funny, I tried though! Don't I get a point for trying?

Any way, in all Seriousness?

'Some things are better left unknown'

'Secret and lies will finally be revealed.'

'What is the Department of Mysterious?' --- I really like this one, but i think the people who made the Matrix, might... ah... well... sue.

Well heres one for all you matrix lovers:

-"He is the one"

sorry if that was a one liner...

There are many possibilities as agline for the movie, because the topics that the movie treats are a lot. I would bet for " The truth is behind the black door " or " A door is going to be opened " and down this " The truth is going to be revealed "

I really doubt that any line from the prophesy will be the tagline, as the contents of the prophesy is the ultimate climax of the film. It would be a total downer for those poor souls out there that don't read the books. Imagine waiting the entire way through the battle in the ministry, half-enjoying the action, half-waiting to see what the prophesy contains, just to see that it was what was being used as the tagline for the film for 6 months. That'd suck.

I have an idea for one using ubridge, but my name for her would probobly offend the mods.

I don't know. I like crypic ones. How about "The headquarters of the Order of the Pheonix lies at Number 12 Grimaud place" as a tag? Ok, probobly not, but I'd like it. Of course, I'd like "This book is property of the Half-Blood Prince" as the tag for the next one too, so oh well.

Hmm, I never thought of it like that. I suppose it does give something away, although only one line too I guess - you'd need the whole prophecy to understand it all. I guess they couldn't use a part of it that gives away the main reveal of the book like : One will die at the hand... etc because that would really spoil it.

Maybe the tagline will have something to do with everyones denial of the Dark Lords return? I don't know, something like: The Dark Lord - Shadow No More (Oh wait, that isn't denial ) ... um ... hmmm, maybe later ...

Ok I know this has no chance of making it on a poster. The overwhelming impression I have from OotP was Harry and his moodiness. I was thinking a tagling like "Even Famous Wizards Can be Annoying at Times". Or how about "Every Great Wizard has their Awkward Teen Phase".

I will never see it on a official poster but maybe I need to go and add a little creativity to existing ones after they start popping up.

Nice one. that would be rather enjoyable seeing a tagline like that. yeah harry is difinitely a lot moodier in OoTP but then again he is a guy with hormones and is fighting voldemort so i don't blame him that much. anyway if you ever add that to a poster or something i'd love to see it. i am sure it would be hilarious and very neat!

Here's another one which is rather a classic:
"Harry I am your Father!"

Be funny if that were a tagline or it made that into the trailer some how. at the very end you hear voldemort say that and then you hear harry scream "no!" probably wouldn't be that funny but still just a thought.

LMAO!! Geg,

If we're running with angsty Harry, how about:

"Harry's Hissy Fit that ends all Hissy Fits"

that one is funny too. well since we are talking about harry and his attitude/moodiness then how about this:

-The Raging Hormones Begin!

not very good and not much of a tagline but just something that came to mind right now.

Okay, the non-serious one:
"Harry has survived the Forbidden forest <fade>
Harry has sruvived the Basalisk <fade again>
Harry has entertained werewolves <yep, fade again>
Harry has battled dragons <oh, yes. . .once more with the fade>
But. . .Can Harry survive Valentine's Day? <enter frantic music and fade to black> (I'm willing to substitue Madam Puddifoot's for Valentine's day. . . Just wasn't sure which direction the movie like to take it. I wanted them to know it's all right if they decide not to take Harry and Cho to Hogsmeade.)

The serious one:
"A time when even the truth isn't enough. . ." <insert foreboding ethereal music>

Come and watch Harry Potters nightmares come true.

This summer....................
July 13, 2007...................
Bring the Kleenex...........
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.


Great one!

Can't think of anything better right now.

Here's one that i just thought up. not very good but i'll give it a try.

-Beyond all doors lies the mystery within.

Rather a serious one than funny but i was just thinking of the Department of Mysteries at the time for some reason.

Sorcerer's Stone: Let The Magic Begin.
Chamber of Secrets: "Dobby Has Come To Warn You Sir."
Prisoner of Azkaban: Something wicked this way comes.
Goblet of Fire: "Difficult times lie ahead, Harry."

Order of the Pheonix: "Clear your mind, Potter."

Janet, I can see it on the big screen now...that would be great. The movies need a bit of humor anyway. I'm totally bad at this so I don't think I'll make a real attempt. I like all of these though!

Here's one that i could definitely imgaine on the posters and in the moive trailer at the end as it fades out.

-It is time for me to tell you what i should have told you five years ago.

A great line from the books and it would defintely suit the movie trailer and poster!

Oh Janet... Must breathe.. Must Breathe... *deep breaths*

That was so funny! My brother just ran into the room as he thought i was dying!

What about...

'The Ultimate battle between Good and evil' (fade)
'And a statue...'

OK, i still don't understand the statue bit in OotP.

Yes Greg, moody harry, that's all i remember from that book as well.

'101 steps to be a moody teen...'

Ok, what about this one

Voldemort has returned, and he faces his greatsest challenge yet... A teenage boys mind...' [insert Voldemort screaming here]

or...

...And what's behind door number12!

Ok ok, i can be serious... I know they weren't funny, but humour me ok?

'Behind all eyes, a secret lays within' [Insert troubled looking Dumbledore]

wow! some really funny ones there Ygraine. love the one what's behind door number12! classic and reminds me of the old games.

okay just for all you Lost likers and lovers:

-Everything happens for a reason.<fade out>

i really like that one epecially since it's from Lost.

I agree. Although, like Sirius being a good guy, this is one of those things that will be hard to keep secret. So many people have read the books, the element of surprise is going to be hard for the filmmakers. Though, I guess not everybody has my older sister, who when I told her I was going to see a movie replied "He dies."

I somehow also see the "The Second War Begins" being better for the sixth than the fifth movie, since it takes the whole of the book for anybody not in the OOTP to realize that LV has returned.



These I think would be excellent as clips. I can seriously see these parts of the movie- JKR forbid that they should not be in it- as part of the trailer. Also, remember how important "I solemly swear that I am up to no good" was in the third movie- so even if you haven't picked the tagline, I'm sure one of the great ideas posted here will be used in some capacity.

I'm just thinking of how the first and third movies' taglines really made you want to see what's going to happen during the whole movie, not just about one part of it. I myself thought of the theme of lying and deception in this book, so something like the sentence that Umbridge has carved into Harry's hand "I must not tell lies". On second thought, though, I think this is more likely to end up part of the trailer than the tagline.

Something about "the Truth", as other people have suggested, seems likely to me, because its such a major theme, both about the Prophesy and about LV's return. BTW, I'm still glad they didn't tagline the fourth movie with "He's baaa-ack..."

ok so ive been doing some creative thinking the past couple of days to try to come up with a tagline and a trailer for OotP. i have already done one for HBP and enjoyed it so i thought i'd give it a stap here.



i dont think its as good as my HBP but oh well whats a girl to do?

Those are all real neat, Trying to think of some.. Hmm "The Darkness Within..". I dont know. I like all of yours.

i think my this tagline hasn't been posted yet.

Let the battle begin.

then put the date.

ex:

Let the battle begin.
7-7-7

I am Saruman in HPANA by the way, just for you to know. I am posting my tagline I created:

Some Doors Should Never Been Open

Its OK you copy my topic, I am cool.

well i have always liked the a second war begins but how about the following.
i can see

Wow, cuack, that's pretty amazing! Personally, I have no idea what it would be.. I'm very bad when it comes to thinking of these things lol. If I were to think of a tagline it would probably have something to do with Harry learning Occlumency. I think that if the tagline had something to do with the prophecy directly, then it might give to much away for the people who havent read the books yet. I know for a fact that I'm the only one in my family who reads the books.... so why would the filmmakers risk giving too much away by using the wording of the prophecy directly in the tagline? I'm not sure if I'm babbling on and on or whatever but I'm just not sure about it haha.

I really liked some of the taglines you already wrote, but i'm posting here some classic ones for people who like them:

- Harry Potter and the ootp, you won't belive what you'll see

- Harry Potter and the ootp, are you sure you can stand it?

-Harry Potter and the ootp, everything else was only the beginning

and the last thank to this site



I don't know if someone else posted the same ones, if so I'm sorry.

Okay okay here's mine, which in a way borrows from almost everyone that has already posted.
I definitely think the voice clips should be


[center]and

these should be intermingled with clips from Snape and DD offices

maybe also this line from the book, "It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more." then a clip of the veil waving in the wind

lastly the line



should be on the last scene with the door to the Dept of Mysteries..

i really think 'everything happens for a reason' is good, and another one of my favourites is 'some doors should never be opened...'

i reckon this si a good one the one with thge power to vanqush the dark lord, who have thriced defied him,will be born as the seventh month dies.

I think that the best tagline would be :"the second war begins." It fits the whole movie, I can just see it on posters. "The second war begins July 23, 2007" I like Some Doors Should Never Be Opened as well, it's mysterious.

Yes, but... OH! That one about the doors is kind of ironic. "There are some doors that should never be opened..." If they put in Harry's dreams about the Department of Mysteries, they should totally use that one!
I like the one about "The Second War Begins", but not as much as the other one.

I think that the tagline for OoTP will be something like....

DO NOT SURRENDER YOUR WAND!
OR
REMEMBER MY LAST PETUNIA!

OR
WHAT'S HE AFTER APART FROM FOLLOWERS? <KITCHEN AT GRIMMAULD PLACE>
STUFF HE CAN ONLY GET BY STEALTH..... <SLITHERING SNAKE AT THE MINISTRY>
LIKE A WEAPON....SOMETHING HE DIDN'T HAVE LAST TIME <HALL OF PROPHECY brief glimpse>
THE SECOND WAR BEGINS
OR

THEY'LL KNOW WERE RIGHT IN THE END......
OR
SOME DOORS SHOULD NEVER BE OPENED.......SOME SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN CLOSED. THERE'S SOMETHING I SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU FIVE YEARS AGO, HARRY.....THE SECOND WAR BEGINS!
OR
YOU MUST STUDY OCCLUMENCY AS HARD AS YOU CAN...CLOSE YOUR MIND....YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHY SOON ENOUGH...PROMISE ME.....REMEMBER, CLOSE YOUR MIND.....YOU WILL UNDERSTAND!


I HAVE SOOOO MANY IDEAS!

I don't think ''Do not surrender your wand'' is any good, or ''remember my last Petunia''.
It's got to be something catchy, and that dosen't sound like any old line. I think my favourite has got to be ''some doors should never be opened''. It fits the plot perfectly.

i think that the tag line will be a quote from the book or somthin
like well i can't remember one right now my parents think im doing home work lol but off the top of my head i'd say it'd be like "the war begins" becuase the end chapter of the 4th is the begining or like "everything changes now" becuase the 4th's tag line was "everything is about to change" so now it's really changes

what do you girls (or guys) think?

i think it might be something along the lines of

"This year there will be new faces at hogwarts" <shot of umbridge in the hearing>

"And things are going to change" <Shot of umbridge in the classroom saying "there will be no need for wands in this class.> <still shot of one of the educational decrees>

"but rules cant change everything" <shots of the DA> <shots of hagrid fighting off the guards> <etc>

voice over fade to black dumbledore saying "harry its time i tell you everything"

flash of voldemort with wand in the ministry.
cut to black

END.
