If you’re looking for me on July 13, look no further than the largest auditorium at the Loews Kips Bay cinema, where I’ll happily be watching the newest installment of the Harry Potter movies.
There’s no suspense here–obviously I can’t wait to SEE IT. The Order of the Phoenix actually looks like it may be an improvement upon the book, which is saying alot. The kids have gotten better and better with each film. And the franchise continues to attract Britain’s top acting talent. This time around, Helena Bonham Carter and Imelda Staunton join the cast that already includes Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Gary Oldman, Maggie Smith, and Jason Isaacs. Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort was so evil, so scary, in the last ten minutes of the last installment that I can’t wait to see Voldemort with more screen time. But whatever, man, I’m just there for the Quidditch.
So now, without further ado, here is the teaser for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is not yet rated and opens July 13. (Official site)
I kind of wanted to see more in this trailer… perhaps it’s because I’m well-versed in the books and I’m not seeing as much story in the trailer as I’d like… Of course, maybe I’m just asking too much. At the end of the day, this trailer could’ve been Daniel Radcliffe just sitting on his ass, being all, “Yeah, wow, Voldemort. He totally sucks, right?” and I’d still plan on seeing this film in its first week.
Great concept! I am a trailer freak!!
Sorry we didn’t meet either
Maybe when CBS copies the idea, we will meet then

[…] This is the second trailer released by Warner Brothers. (For the first trailer, click here.) I continue to be amazed at how this franchise just continues to get better and better. The story is becoming more layered and the younger actors have become so skilled that they can go toe to toe against their Oscar-winning co-stars. Judging by both trailers, Order of the Phoenix looks like a suspense-filled movie that can stand on its own and entertain even non-Potter fans (such people exist?) who find themselves in the cinema. (How scary is that shot of Voldemort in a three-piece suit?) […]
[…] Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: the 30-Second Review By Julie I went to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix last night at a sold-out, opening night screening. While this isn’t the best Potter film yet (that honor belongs to the fourth, The Goblet of Fire), the Order of the Phoenix will satisfy die-hard fans like me and entertain casual fans. Although the movie is very fast-paced, there are still two more movies left in the saga, and at times story lines feel incomplete. […]
