  • sweetnothing, on 07/10/2008, -6/+5They may just enough time to show the logo and push that the film will eventually come to IMAX too.
  • gizlau, on 07/10/2008, -4/+15i was going to watch the Dark Knight any way - but this is def something to look forward to! actually, in Orland, they're coming out with a Harry Potter Theme Park: "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" which sounds awesome, too!
    • Lugano, on 07/11/2008, -2/+1It's going to be a section of Islands of Adventure at Universal Studios. It's where the old mideval stuff is now.
  • slewy, on 07/10/2008, -2/+3Hopefully once they release this tease (it does not deserve to be called a teaser), we will get a real trailer and poster. Remember, it took Dark Knight a while to get started with the trailers and look how much footage we have now.
  • coadyj, on 07/11/2008, -9/+1How old is Harry now about 22??
    • scamp115, on 07/11/2008, -0/+4No, He is 18-19 now. I think. I just know that he is slightly younger than me and I turn 21 in November.
      • CoMpUtErITGuY, on 07/11/2008, -1/+7That's good to know? Have any sisters?
  • ErrorLoading, on 07/11/2008, -12/+24OMG FINALLY A REASON TO SEE DARK KNIGHT OMFG!!!!!!!!!!! AOWIAOAJODKLJ!

    Dark Knight FTW
  • Sairynn, on 07/11/2008, -4/+9Most poorly written description ever. Also, what in the ***** is a potteriano?
    • sweetnothing, on 07/11/2008, -0/+1It is a direct translation, the English version is also on the site.
  • Farmer77, on 07/11/2008, -2/+50So...uh...is that chick who plays Hermione 18 yet?
  • cubicledrone, on 07/11/2008, -3/+3All this was missing was a BREAKING NEWS announcement, followed by timpani and a brass herald.
  • scot333, on 07/11/2008, -12/+3I will be so stoned when I go in to see batman, i won't notice some retarded pre-wizard. just sayin.
    • porkdanish, on 07/11/2008, -1/+5Your parents must be so proud.
      • scot333, on 07/11/2008, -2/+1what parents? BTW cheese danish is much better. :)
  • darny, on 07/11/2008, -11/+4f harry potter in his magical bum
  • Tyrghast, on 07/11/2008, -13/+2Why have a Harry Potter trailer before TDK? So I can ruin my feeling of excitement by seeing a trailer for another poorly made film? Or is it to make TDK seem that much better in comparison?
    • myranttoyou, on 07/11/2008, -10/+2Both movies have been made and remade too many times. Don't see either.
      • DaHuuuuuudge, on 07/11/2008, -2/+2Yes, because every movie in a series is just a remake. Idiot.
      • myranttoyou, on 07/11/2008, -0/+2@DaHuuuuuudge

        sequel != remake, *****
    • Tyrghast, on 07/11/2008, -3/+1I wonder why i'm being buried... I didn't say anything negative about the dark knight and the harry potter movies really are crap...
    • DaHuuuuuudge, on 07/11/2008, -0/+2Ruin your feeling of excitement? If trailers can ruin your excitement for a movie you're about to see, you must not be very excited.
  • mikebb79, on 07/11/2008, -10/+5wow, that's awesome! Now I have a reason to wear my pocket protector and propeller hat to The Dark Knight!
    • laughandsing, on 07/11/2008, -0/+3Do you really need a reason to do that?
  • o0joshua0o, on 07/11/2008, -0/+3There is probably already a lot of overlap between the set of moviegoers who are fans of Harry Potter and the set of moviegoers who are fans of Batman movies. The ones who only belong to the first set are probably younger on average, though. So this might encourage more youngsters to go see The Dark Knight. Whether this is good or bad depends on how impressionable they are and how violent this movie is.
    • CrackyJSquirrel, on 07/11/2008, -2/+1One set likes effeminate young boys playing witches riding broom sticks, the other set of people like dark characters and violence.

      Not seeing the cross section here..
      • o0joshua0o, on 07/11/2008, -1/+1You think there are no dark characters or violence in the Harry Potter movies? It sounds like you don't know what you're talking about.
      • CrackyJSquirrel, on 07/11/2008, -0/+1Yeah, I can bet harry Potter has violence that rivals Batman Dark Night. Please.
  • thegreenspanput, on 07/11/2008, -7/+5who cares?
  • sorenchr, on 07/11/2008, -1/+4Wow, a teaser for a wizardfilm shown with a comicbook hero film, i almost can't wait.

  • myranttoyou, on 07/11/2008, -10/+1Ugh, more Batman crap.... At least it's not Ron Paul and iPhone 3G related. So let me get this straight. Everyone is excited about an ad in a movie?
  • btraxx, on 07/11/2008, -7/+715 seconds?!?! That's 15 more seconds I have to wait to see Dark Knight!
    • deetank, on 07/11/2008, -1/+2Yeah seriously, stick this teaser on another movie.
  • bjs3171, on 07/11/2008, -1/+3can someone let me know what the description says? i haven't made it past that fourth word yet.
  • Tetec, on 07/11/2008, -1/+9Comments suck here.
  • darkened, on 07/11/2008, -13/+6***** this is the worst news I've ever heard about the Dark Knight
  • myranttoyou, on 07/11/2008, -7/+25Wow, Batman nerds calling the Harry Potter guys dorks? Hypocritical much?
  • scamp115, on 07/11/2008, -4/+2In front of any other movie this would be news, but The Dark Knight completely overshadows this trailer.
  • tinyfloralninja, on 07/11/2008, -0/+4Oh my god YAY.
    [/fangirl]

    ...but I'm still more excited about Batman, thank you very much.
  • saunders45, on 07/11/2008, -4/+3Whoopty freakin' doo...

  • Amorn, on 07/11/2008, -9/+2If you like harry potter, especially if you or your children listen to audio tapes then i highly recommend this:

    www.dirtypotter.com or this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkKShssLHDM
  • hobbatha, on 07/11/2008, -6/+2Yay! A reason to see The Dark Knight!
  • FearFactory, on 07/11/2008, -6/+3looks like i'll be showing up to the Dark Knight a little late.
  • Pittance, on 07/11/2008, -6/+2Because Batman fans give a ***** about Harry Potter. Cause I know I get all sweaty and bothered just thinking about adolescent boys in a boarding school. *carlface*
    Seriously, why do people like this crap? There is much better fantasy out there.
    • laughandsing, on 07/11/2008, -1/+3Harry Potter is awesome. So is Batman. What is the big deal about liking both? You aren't cheating on one if you like the other.
  • threepm, on 07/11/2008, -1/+5can it be seen in non Imax theaters as well?!
  • backseatchris, on 07/11/2008, -2/+12Rumor has it they may adapt this 15 second preview into a full length feature in the upcoming months.
  • chickengearge, on 07/11/2008, -7/+15I hope it's the 15 seconds where SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE
    • JamesMorris, on 07/11/2008, -2/+2I lol'd.
    • Haroshia, on 07/11/2008, -1/+3In a dramatic turnaround, I've heard in the movie Snape DOESN'T kill Dumbledore. Him and the elves go to Helm's Deep to make a last stand against the orc hordes.
    • shawn1122, on 07/11/2008, -1/+1YOU *****

    • sgtpppr, on 07/11/2008, -0/+2Wait what? You didn't read the article or anything outside of 1/2 the title?
      • evo8ftw, on 07/11/2008, -2/+1I did. sorry you fail at internet sarcasm detection
      • evo8ftw, on 07/12/2008, -2/+1Yeah that's what we called PWNED!!!!
      • evo8ftw, on 07/13/2008, -1/+1PWNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
  • Steinr, on 07/11/2008, -5/+1that is just so wrong!
  • khoa1708, on 07/11/2008, -6/+1yay, Michael Gambon, i mean Dumbledore dies!
  • Hassassin, on 07/11/2008, -2/+1That description might as well be in sanskrit, I have no idea what you just said.
  • Harrison88, on 07/11/2008, -4/+1Wouldn't it been a better idea to put a Bond trailer with Batman and the Potter trailer with Wall-e?
  • TheNapalm, on 07/11/2008, -7/+2Harry dies then comes back to life and kills Voldemort!!!!! SPOOOOOIILLLLERRR

    /sarcasm
  • bills534, on 07/11/2008, -4/+4***** Harry Potter
  • Hoogs, on 07/11/2008, -1/+2Just another reason to see this movie! I have a feeling this HP film could be the best one yet, since the book was shorter than the previous two and we've got a decent director. Less book content = better quality movie with less "stuff" to cram in.
  • Dojjah, on 07/11/2008, -1/+1this news almost makes me want to not go see it...

    almost.
  • xtal3, on 07/11/2008, -1/+1Goddammit, these movies are the CSI Miami of terrible blockbusters. I can't believe how much money they make, augh :shake fist:

    Stop enabling them.
  • ChristianMagic, on 07/11/2008, -1/+1Why is everyone so excited? It's a movie for a book which has already come out, you know exactly what it's gunna be about.
  • Suneet67, on 07/11/2008, -3/+1Harry Potter is responsible for creating an entire generation that is illiterate. Put away HP unless you are reading (or are) to someone under the age of 10 and pick up a literary classic; Orwell, Hemingway, Joyce, Fitzgerald, or pretty much anyone else. FYI--everyone who thinks harry potter is the bestest ever should go read the Chronicles of Narnia and the Lord of the Rings series to realize that all Rowling did was integrate the two;

    (insert smug British accent) Harry Potter?
    • Dagny2003, on 07/11/2008, -1/+6Although I don't think HP is the 'bestest ever' nor should it be misconstrued as anything but children's literature, it is great for what it is. Considering that both the works you cited are superficially similar in setting, theme, etc. but differ drastically in the author's philosophies I'd have to rebut your statement. Besides, adults who don't read, just plain don't ***** read. If someone thinks, as an adult, that HP is the height of adult literature, they were already an idiot and I doubt Joyce is going to make ANY sense to them. Thank god they are reading HP. It's all they can get their practically illiterate heads around. As for those of us who are literate and see these books for what they are, we're just not interested in throwing around intellctually elitist ***** statements to make ourselves FEEL smarter than people that we KNOW we are smarter than. "Responsible for creating an entire generation that is illiterate." They were already illiterate, sweetheart.
      • akilleen, on 07/11/2008, -1/+4Thank you! Literature (or any kind, really) snobbery drives me up a wall. Harry Potter is entertaining, that is it. I don't think anyone is claim it to be a series of literary masterpieces.
      • Suneet67, on 07/12/2008, -0/+1While i will agree at some level that HP is entertaining I cannot really consider it on its own merits without comparing it to similar children's fantasy like the Chronicles of Narnia which explored similar themes of escapist magic even if the author's philosophies were essentially opposite. When i was younger I read that series and enjoyed it but then like so many others, I moved on to new books, literature, and ideas. I am not trying to be a snob (though the list of authors does appear to be smug it's certainly not intellectual elitism; i am simply trying to convince some people to not read HP for the fifth time and reach for something else instead) but too many individuals across America continue to isolate, fixate and re-saturate themselves with HP despite being too old. I understand why people continue to read these books, HP's sense of escapism and the intrigue it invokes in the child reader is top notch, but there is a much larger world of ideas out there that is being avoided.
        Adults who dont ***** read, dont ***** read. But individuals who spend time reading and re-reading and re-reading HP should move on to other novels and this fixation upon the series has created tangible negative effects within the publishing industry. Numerous articles have been written that confirm the relationship between HP and the decline of modern fiction based on total book sales in the last few years.
        People are only illiterates until they pick up a book and read; I think they should pick up something a little better than HP if they read anything at all; but hey the movies are entertaining.
      • Dagny2003, on 07/15/2008, -0/+1'Articles written' does not equate to 'facts confirmed'. The sensationalist tendency to blame an author, series or even entire genres for "trends" in reading rates of adults is unfounded and ridiculous. I've heard the same said of Stephen King, Danielle Steele, Dan Brown. People whose comprehension tops out at this level simply will not move on to more complex material. People whose comprehension is higher simply will not resign themselves to stay at this level. To say that HP has a significant relationship to the 'decline of modern fiction' in the face of truly significant factors such as the Internet and the push of our society to leave behind traditional sources and methods of media is ridiculous. Publishing will suffer just as newspapers, record labels, TV networks, movie studios and distributors do. Just as people heralded the decline of intelligence with the invention of the radio, and later, the television, now we hear these dismal proclamations again in the face of the technological revolution. Yet, facts show we have become more intelligent on average with every generation; not only in spite of, but often, because of the perceived technological culprits. People tend to think that if intelligence starts to manifest itself, on a societal scale, in a way that differs to the past it automatically means a drop in intelligence. We are simply adapting to our fast paced, ever changing systems of information assimilation. Any 'expert' who would put any sizable amount of culpability on HP or any other author or series should have their expertise seriously questioned. I'm inclined to think those articles are inventions of the media to entice readers with the prospect of being able to view themselves as more well-read in comparison to the public at large. Truth is, while reading will never die, it will take on a whole new face. The fact that it is, and always has been, a minority of people who read the more difficult pieces literature has to offer, will never change.
    • lydecker, on 07/11/2008, -1/+4Anything that gets people to read cannot contribute to a generation of illiteracy.
      • Suneet67, on 07/12/2008, -0/+1illiteracy--The condition or quality of being ignorant or unknowledgeable in a particular subject or field (American heritage dictionary 2006). While HP has made alot of people read books it has really only increased the literacy of children (for whom the target audience is and should be). I am not saying that HP is bad for everyone; rather, HP is a fantastic children's series that children should read but older individuals should move past HP and explore other literature be it classical, modern, fantasy, etc.
      • lydecker, on 07/12/2008, -1/+2Of course they should move past it. But if they're going to move past it's reading level, reading a good Harry Potter novel doesn't hinder that ability nor desire.
