Anyone excited?
Honestly, this is the first piece of anything about the new movie brought to my attention, and it got me all excited again.

Oooh, me too. I thought Order of the Phoenix was the best executed of the Potter films, despite it being one of my least favorite books, so I'm really hoping they do this one justice. And, judging from the amount of Harry in that trailer as opposed to the amount of Tom Riddle and Dumbledore (the people the book are actually focused on), it looks like it should be a bang-up job.

This is my FAVORITE (2nd favorite? closely tied with Azkaban?) Potter book and I think the trailer looks phenomenal!

I'm not sure something 'should be a bang-up job', you can 'do' a bang-up job, say 'it was' one or 'hope they do' one but I'm not sure there's a way to use it in a future sense. Doing so might dilute how good doing things bang-up are: How can you tell how bang-up a job is before it's happened yet? You could however say 'it should be a well proper job' which is a little less established but is vaguely accepted british if you're anywhere but on the BBC.

'sprobably it. While I love Gary Oldman, there are too many other things in Prisoner that I just flat out disagree with.Weird how I liked my least favorite books best and didn't care about the ones I really liked. I guess I had high expectations for those.
I am pleased with how many of y'all love that book, though. 'round these parts not many share the same feelings.

Wow, trailer looks pretty good! Though the HP trailers usually look good, and then the movies make you slightly more disappointed, so I'm not raising my expectations up this time...

3. Half-Blood Prince
4. Goblet of Fire
5. Prisoner of Azkaban
6. Sorcerer's (of Philosopher's) Stone
7. Chamber of Secrets. By a LONG shot. (It was just too creepy)

How the trio relate to one another, Newell's the only one to really nail that from the books, it's the only time the trio really felt like the trio in the movies. And that's more important than anything else, imo. That and I thought it was a pretty beautiful distillation of the book. I was annoyed that a dragon called the Chinese Fireball was not in fact an asian style serpent dragon (think mushu) but was a typical western medieval dragon. and I thought the trashing of hogwarts during the dragon scene was silly. But otherwise I loved it.I do not grok
And it got rid of spew.
The best thing about Order of the Phoenix was Luna (genius casting! and she's such a skilled actress too) and the transitions beween scenes via the daily prophet. I was extremely disappointed in the look and particularly the art direction of the film, especially the department of mysteries, and I thought the director didn't give a damn about the characters and was mostly concerned about running time. I'm a little stunned Yates came back because the directorial impression he left on me from watching the movie was that he had zero respect for the material and thought the whole thing was a big damn silly mess. And despite OOtP being the shortest it dragged like it was the longest, of all five movies it had the least spirit of the books. But it did have Luna and that was excellent. I really thought he completely butchered umbridge's torture scenes and squandered most of the dramatic oppurtunities of the story.
So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

I still can't stand the first two movies. They're just way too cheesy for me.
This is one of my favorite books, so i'll probably have really high expectations for the movie.
I do like the trailer though.

How do you follow up a good teaser trailer? By pushing the release of the film back 8 months!

Yeah, I know. It's not like something delayed the completion of the film. They're just going to keep it on the shelf for 8 months. I'd laugh so hard if it somehow leaked onto the net months in advance.WHAT!? DAMN!
This is actually mostly frustrating simply because the f****** studio is only doing it for marketing reasons. Assholes.

it's so damn stupid. the worst performing film of the series (azkaban) was a summer release. and they think because ootp did well in the summer hbp will as well. did they forget that there was a perfect storm of fan enthusiasm due to the release of the seventh book? otherwise the fifth film wouldn't have done nearly as well as it did. This one would probably have outgrossed Goblet and phoenix, maybe even become the top grossing of the series with it's original release date and considering the (lack of) competition this fall, now it'll be lucky to gross more than chamber of secrets.
So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

I was really confused when I first read it had a July release date. Then I was disappointed and angry.
Yes! There's just something about the atmosphere in the winter that compliments HP movies. Maybe it's like Jason said, maybe it was something born of the LoTR releases.I like the late fall/early winter release much better than the summer releases. For some reason, they feel like winter release films.

I think it's just something inherently, well, "Christmas-movie-feely," if you will. I remember a couple years ago (or possibly just last year) I turned on the TV and there was a promo for a Christmas Movie Marathon, starting with two Harry Potter movies. My mom overheard and was up in arms about the Harry Potter films being classified as Christmas films, but it just seemed to fit, to me.Yes!

Plus, there's nothing like a nice novel to curl up with next to the fire, and these are book movies.
Also: Blaaaaaaagh, my brother and I were going to see this and the new Bond movie this fall! Now what will we do? Now what will we do?

the prince caspian people are really kicking themselves for going with a summer release date now. they could have had the winter all to themselves and probably doubled their domestic gross, considering the lack of family competition (despereaux looks terrible and coraline has been bumped to february, bolt seems promising)
