well thank you for solving the burning chair rumor, but where in the book does it talk about ice. thought, the part where you can see dumbledore's face while he's fighting the inferi kind of reminds me of the U.K. cover.

Yeah, I'm thinking maybe the island Voldemort created to house his locket might be emerald-esque(?).

The locket was supposed to be encrusted with emeralds, and the green goes along with the whole Slytherin thing.

Could just be crystal outcrops. Ice seems kind of out of place to me, to be honest.

mugglenet.com has confirmed a scene in which Bellatrix and Greybackattack the burrow. this scene is not in the book, will it be good for the book or bad? i think it will be good to sjow that it is no longer safe out there and there is always room for a Harry Potter fight scene

I think that it'll be good. At first I was very worried about HBP being all about the relationships, like how OoTP was all about Dumbledore's Army, but I think that David Yates learned from his past mistakes.

Even back in 2005 I found the one scene with Bellatrix in it disappointing after J.K Rowling pretty much made her the second main villain in OoTP, and I guess Steve felt the exact same way.

Did anybody else find it odd how Voldemort never attacked The Burrow in HBP, even though it was obvious that Harry was there? He got into Hogwarts in The Deathly Hallows, so he could have gotten into The Burrow with ease.

I think that as most of us have known about this scene for quite some time, we are pretty used to the idea. It was a little irritating at first - many of us compared it with the scene that was included in GoF (i.e the dancing class), especially as it might have taken the place of a scene we would have considered essential, but which David Yates and others considered superfluous.

I am looking forward to seeing this scene if only because we'll get to see Greyback in action. Also, I am hoping to see Ginny do something good. I would think this is going to be more exciting to watch than Scrimgeour blustering in his office with Fudge...

Bring it on!!

I, personally, can not say that I am happy with the decision . Actually, I'm very annoyed by it I don't understand the reasoning behind the scene to be honest. Granted, I haven't seen the movie yet but I have read the book and since there is nothing even resembling the said movie scene in the book I don't see why it should be in the movie. If Yates is trying to communicate an idea than why doesn't he 'use' a scene from the book...if there isn't a scene in the book that communicates the idea than he shouldn't have to put a scene in the movie.
I will have a more defined opinion after I see the movie of course; here I'm just going off of what I know . What I know is that Yates has cut several of my favorite and most touching scenes and replaced them with stuff that's not even in the book . I mean come on! I don't know if this is Yates or what but somone doesn't seem to be understanding that, for drama and excitement you don't need violance! Good acting and scripting can create a scene full of tention or excitement where there isn't any physical interaction at all. I think that Yates is underplaying the emotional aspect of the story and focousing to much on the action. But, like I said, I haven't seen the movie yet so my ideas are only based on what I've heard

They added in this scene to show that the wizarding world is at war and that no one is safe. I think the scene will be good and entertaining, but I really don't like when they add in new scenes. I don't understand why they take out scenes that were in the book to add in ones that weren't. I like when they stick to the book! I'll have to wait to see the movie till I decide if it is a good or bad decision.

I just watched the trailer and I am giddy with excitement.
It looks amazing. I may not be seeing everything as objectively though because I've been going through Harry Potter withdrawal since the end last year. That is to say since there is so little going on in the HP world I could just be glad to have it back again. It's almost like with this movie it never ended.

Anyways...what was the Ginny part? I don't remember that from the book (though it's been a while since I last read it.)

It's the new scene at the Burrow where everyone is attacked. The filmmakers/writer added this, even though it was not in the book. We all agree that if looks as if someone is disarming her.

Ah. Thank you.
Interesting!

Just saw the trailer on the news. It looks great! Definitely better than all those previous HP movies. I like how this one will be a bit scarier than others. It'll, hopefully, add a more magical touch. Also, I love the scene with young Tom Riddle. That boy sure has that 'creepy' face down pat.

Hoping that this movie won't be a total let-down,

ChikkyD

I thought that well a trailer is better than no trailer. I just thought that it was bit too focused on Little Riddle but I understand that's a big key too. I was hoping for a little more and it looks really dark. But it looks really. Good. I just didn't get Ginny's purpose in the middle of nowhere in water?

It's a new scene (one that's not in the book) put in by the writers on the film. Not sure what the purpose of it is though, but I'd like to find out.

i think that the purpose would be to show harry so that he can also understand riddles past and stuff like that. it's probably something they added to probably understand the next movie? and i havent read HBP in 3 years so it's been awhile and umm i think that maybe its importance is that it's time to explain voldemort for those that dont read the book and for harry to understand in a way why LV does what he does? i dont know i am babbling lol we might have to wait and see but it's not that bad

I did hear that Rowling had a scene like that originally for the sixth book, but it was removed. But this is just something i heard...still, it's good to know it's not just a scene they pulled out of their [Mod Deleted], lol. if it's true, of course.

but i thought it was brilliant, best teaser of all the movies, IMO. although, i do look forward to the longer trailer, with the hope that it shows more of the many aspects of this book/film.

Mod Edit: You've been here long enough to know that any form of swearing isn't permitted, using ** doesn't make it okay. ~Triad

I think the reason they are putting in this scene is because, if you think back to the book, we were always hearing about more Death Eater attacks, more dissapearings, more murders etc but it would be difficult for them to include this in the film, because there is too much else going on and not enough time for all the conversations between Harry Ron and Hermione which cover this. By putting in both the destruction of the london landmark (Milleniun Bridge i believe?) and the attack of the Burrow, this will give viewers a better idea of how bad things are becoming in the wizarding world.


I'm not a huge fan of the way they take out and add in scenes, but in this case, i can understand why they've done it, and i think it might be quite a good scene!

I too am not a huge fan of this. I'm not sure if this scene will do justice, but, I've been proven wrong before, and am wanting to be proven wrong this time. I have yet to see a HP movie that I havn't had a complaint about.

Ok, for me the trailer was totally not how i expected it. I was all prepared for loads of clues of scenes and people and everything that the previous trailers have given us, and i was, i have to say, taken by surprise! However i actually thought it was an excellent way to do the trailer. Deathly Hallows part 1 and 2 i can see the trailer being the same sort of thing, it doesn't give too much away.

I am quite liking the idea of the added scene, i really don't mind them putting some in but i hate it when they take them out, especially ones that i really love. I can't wait to see it because i think it will really show how Ginny has changed so much, as in being a stronger which than before and also the way that she is slowly yet surely pushing her way into the trio to make it four and not three. And then it becomes a bigger group, what with Neville and Luna joining them.

It is sounding and looking fabulous, more pics better be on the way!!!

I really like the trailer! It's dark, just as the book. The young Voldemort is brilliant, so is the atmosphere in the orphanage. I can't wait for the film!!

But can anyone tell what is said in the trailer? I can't understand everything, it sounds a bit unclear sometimes. Thanks

well iv just seen it too and i think it looks really good!
i was also confused by the ginny bit but thank you to everyone who cleared that up. i think it is a bit weird that theyv added the scene but i think it may work in the film, i guess i'll judge when iv actually seen it
and noepie i agree, i think that the young voldemort (hero fiennes?) fits the part perfectly and the atmosphere is all dark and gloomy, just as it should be

and this is what it says...

Dumbledore: "what your looking at are memories, in this case betaining to one individual... this is perhaps the most important memory iv collected... i'd like you to see it"

Orphanage woman: "in all the years Tom's been here, hes never once had a visitor"

Tom: "your the doctor arnt you?"
Dumbledore: "no"
Tom: "who are you?"
Dumbledore: "well im like you Tom, im different"
Tom: "prove it"

Tom: "i can make things move without touching them... i can make bad things happen to people who are mean to me... i can speak to snakes too... they find me... whisper things"

Harry: "did you know sir... then?"

Dumbledore: "did i know id just met the most dangerous dark wizard of all time? ... no"

hope that helps

Just to clarify - what it actually says is:

Dumbledore: "what you're looking at are memories, in this case pertaining to one individual... this is perhaps the most important memory I've collected... I'd like you to see it"

Pertaining to means relating to. This comes from the word pertinent, meaning relevant to.

Just thought we shouldn't be teaching a German words that don't actually exist in the English language!

I loved the trailer! It doesn't bother me at all that it was all about Riddle. He should be the center of the movie as it is a major part of the plot. The one thing I can say that I didn't like was that there was no Hermione (Emma). But besides that, I am completely fine with everything that they inlcuded. It makes me very excited to see the actual movie.

The trailer made me get goosebumps, i'm so excited about the film. Don't worry to much about who was and who wasn't in it, it is only a trailer after all. I'm sure Hermione, Draco and Snape will be prominent in the film. One observation I did make, however, was the clip of Ginny and the clip of Harry or someone running through a wooded area: could this be the rumoured added scene which doesn't feature in the book entitled Burrow Attack? It was rather creepy but enticing.

Yes, thats what it seems to be! I also thought it was odd Hermione, Draco, or Snape weren't in the trailer, but sren't there usually two trailers? One thats about the length this one was, and another about 2 minutes. Maybe there won't be any more, seeing as we got this one so late. But, I like how it doesn't give too much away. I like to save the surprises for the movie!

For me, trailers are a bit of a love/hate relationship when it comes to how I feel about them. I love to watch them and get a sense of what the movie will be like and look like. However, I hate the increased anticipation it arises in me to see the movie. As long as I haven't seen the trailer, it's almost like the movie doesn't exist. But, once I've seen it, it becomes real, and I crave its arrival all the more. Yep, I love/hate them.

As for the HBP trailer, I thoroughly enjoyed it as a trailer. However, I'm a bit worried about the movie. As a couple of people have already mentioned, the boy playing young Riddle doesn't seem to have enough of the authoritative air shown in the books. He should have sounded more demanding when he said, "Prove it!" He almost sounded like he was bored or didn't really care. And when the armoire went up in flames, he should have been shocked, not indifferent.

I know it won't really make a difference to the movie as a whole, but it's just a bit disappointing to me. Considering the movie people change so many things, they should at least get things right that stay.

But, now I'm off to mark the days left on the calendar until the movie comes out. Darn trailer!

I very much agree with what you're saying. When I first saw the trailer, I didn't pay Riddle's acting ability much thought. I just re-watched it on youtube, and I noticed the same thing you did. When he said "Prove it!" he should've sounded MUCH more dramatic and demanding. And when his worldly belongings all went up in flames, he just sat there staring at it! I would've jumped up, screamed and ran to get the fire extinguisher! lol.

I don't blame him, I blame whoever made the Trailer. If you look at the scene where his wardrobe is set on flames very closely, you can clearly see that he was about to grin before it cuts off to the 'Burrow Attack' scene. His eyes also widened slightly, which demonstrates his character very well.

Also, they cut off the "You're a doctor aren't you?" part to save time, so we never heard Little Tom say "TELL THE TRUTH!", which I think will be a lot more demanding than the sneer that he made to Dumbledore the second time.

Hero's acting, though we've only seen little pieces of it, I think is very impressive for a ten year-old kid. It's not like he's a three-time academy award nominee. This is probably his first movie, and I think he did an excellent job at it.

I agree with the above post. I think for a 10 year old actor, that is impressive. I am creeped out by him already, and I haven't seen half of the scene they are bound to have filmed with him in it.

I can't say too much about the trailer, it all goes by so quickly, and my PC isn't fast enough to catch all the very short snippets of film they show.

Roll on the film!!! Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait (and yes, I am a 40 year old mother of three - sad to the infinite degree, obviously ).

As I mentioned in some of my previous posts, I too am creeped out my him. He has a very strange, scary sort of facial expression. The only thing I don't much like, is the fact that he isn't what I expected. But, I guess that's my own fault for having such expectations.

Surprisingly, I didn't have any expectations for young Riddle, so I was pleased with what I saw. He does have a sort of creepy look to him, but the 'evil-ness' isn't overpowering which I think is good because the kid still has that vibe of childish innocence. For a ten year old kid, he definately did a great job with the character. I'm really excited for the movie, especially the memories. HBP looks to be a pretty good movie.

@ *Priori Incantatem*: Thanks for writing it down! It's much clearer now. I love it that they use quotes from the books - usually they're the best sentences in the whole film

has any body ever watched the dark knight knight trailer, and then went to the movies and saw the movie. well, if you listen closley to the voices they use in the trailer and then listen to how they say things in the movies, it's entirely different, like when the joker said 'you're just a freak ,like me' inthe trailer and then when he says it in the movie it is alot more assertive.

on mugglenet it shows you the screencaps for the trailer. i noticed that at the bit with the marshes you see first harry then a man who looks quite wolf-like so i was thinking that it could be greyback. has anyone else seen this? if you have what do you think?

Oh! I just watched the trailer! It was so good! Even though it was all about Tom Riddle I still loved it! Tom seemed creepy even as a young boy. Wow. That was so cool. Now I really can't wait until the film comes out! I'd also like to see some more previews.

Actually, he was bored. He was indifferent til the moment which DD set the wardrobe on fire. That's when DD really caugh his attention - please watch careful for Riddle's facial expression on this scene (if you have the high-def trailer or the screen caps you might see it better).

He asked to DD prove that he was a wizard and all that DD did was turn his head a little to start the fire - he really made an impressive show in this scene, something that should be enough to shut Tom's up, but it didn't.

And then, when all the conversation had gone through (Riddle saying he would go alone do Diagonalley and such), at the very end of scene, when DD is leaving, Tom delivers his final blow. Very quietly, he gave the piece of information that DD didn't expected, that he could speak to snakes...

I dunno about you, but I found this trailer well done! And I loved young Riddle ^^

I have one word for the trailer...wow, they have definately cast the right person for Tom Riddle, represents the character well telling from the trailer, even though it was mainly based around him i wanted to see more about the movie in general, all i have left to say is bring on the movie! Roll on november 21st!

well Rachelle-is-a-Ravenclaw, there wil be another trailer that is more about other scenes because remember that was a teaser trailer so the real trailer should be out late august/early september, and I 100% agree with you, they did a magnificant job casting tom riddle as a little boy.

yer there will deffinately be another trailer

i think that boy tom riddle is great

this trailer is different from the others
it does that like hogwarts express thing but they usually then do some slow scenes then a load of flickery fight scenes but this one is the same pace and it makes it so sinister makes a change not to see the trio in peril for a trailer, though the next one probably will

I liked it much better this way.
This movie seems so much darker already just by the trailer, but Yates has said it's going to be "playful and funny."

I wish he'd just stick to the book, and the trailer actually...

Am I mistaken for thinking that I should have seen the HP trailer with The Mummy this evening? My eldest daughter suddenly said to me as the programme started, that we should have the HP trailer any moment now.

But no, nothing. Did I remember wrongly - have I got confused with all the rumours that were flying around? I was soooo looking forward to seeing the trailer on the big screen!!!

Awwwe. I saw the trailer earlier - i got back form my two week holiday so i've been catching up on the harry potter news i've (there were a lot) - and it was awesome!!
I cannot believe it, i fancy watching it again now actually after reading all these posts.

I'm glad that most of you lot liked it, it's a brilliant trailer and i'm not in the least bit disappointed. Then again, when have i ever been disappointed with the films or the trailers? Never.

So, i can't wait till the film comes out in November. Only 4 months away.

And by the way, just to comfirm, the figure standing amongst all the tall grass WAS supposed to be Fenrir Greyback. He was the one who was snarling. And Harry was the one running desperately thtough the tall grass - no doubt trying to save Ginny from Geyback. I have to say when David Yates said they were adding an attack scene at the Burrow i didn't expect it to be like that. That seemed really psychological and i can't wait for that part of the film, because we may get to experience the chemistry between Harry and Ginny as it may be harry trying to save ginny, i don't know ...

The only bad thing about the trailer was that i wanted to see more. I suppose that's why they called it a "teaser" trailer, eh? ( )

The movies been pushed back to July 17th?! At first when I read this I was like Oh, an April Fools joke! But then I remembered it wasnt April. I can kind of understand why they are pushing it back, like they said in their statement, it will attract more families. It comes out on a Friday, meaning a late Thursday night for kids who want to see it, not to mention the fact that they'd all have school the next day. Is anyone else a little bit upset about it though? I mean, I've been counting down for about a year now, and we finally get past the 100 days mark, and they have to push it back farther. What I'm wondering is why they released this even when the Mummy movie is still out. Because the Mummy still has the trailer for it in front of it and it still says november.

I'm very upset and angry and will now go scream into a pillow.

I agree...

I was ready for the 6th movie when the 5th movie came out...

I have a countdown on my computer!
It's crazy!

I really don't understand how Warner Bros. could do this to me...

I am very disappointed.
Especially after the fact that the trailer just came out.
We all just got even more excited.. and now we have to wait like.. another year!

LAME

Oh well, maybe it will be a good thing... or not?

I doubt it will "be a good thing."

The movie is complete. It was done and ready to be sent out in theaters when the decided to push it back. They have to start filming on Deathly Hallows, too.

So, just because they have another year till it is released doesn't mean they're going to work on it anymore.

I think we're gonna get the same movie, but just delayed a year. Not the movie, but with a year's worth of detail and corrections made, unfortunately.

It's really annoying if that is right, cause WE are essentially waiting a year fort nothing.
It's them who are benefitting for the extra year wait, but we get nothing in return...

Hear this guys, WB are going to put up a new hp trailer online. It's another teaser trailer apparently, it will be 91 seconds, less than the other teaser trailer but only by five seconds.
I can't to see it. Waiting for news about when it's released to us.

I am angry/ happy that they pushed it back. The 7th one will be closer to coming out after the 6th one but the ticked so many people off tby pushing it back

It's good news to hear about the new trailer.

Hopefully it shows some new scenes. Spell casting and battles I hope.

That is cool they are coming out with a new trailer. Do you know when it will be? I guess they are releasing all these new pictures and videos because they want to build up for the movie. Which is in like 330 days! I kinda feel like if they keep releasing new trailers and pictures we will have seen a lot of the movie by the time it comes out. I want to be surprised! Seeing all the new pictures and stuff make you look forward to it more, and will make the wait a little eaiser. But I can't get excited over this stuff because then I just remind myself I have to wait 11 months.

Yeah, it's hard to have any excitement or hype about any new peaks at the movie, considering the length of time before it will be released...

I'm not sure if I want to see a lot of the movie beforehand... I definitely like knowing what they screwed up on, so I'm not as disappointed in the theaters, but I like to be pleasantly surprised with the accuracy of the movies as compared to the books.

Does anyone know when we're getting another trailer. To me the minute and a half one was just a teaser, and now that they moved it back, I definetly think they'll have to have another one. So does anyone know? I'm thinking sometime next year around April or May, but sooner would be much better.
