Very many good news today:
We have posted a series of stills from the second and the third television trailer on The Harry Potter Galleries. Click here and enjoy!
USA Today tells us that the 3rd and final trailer will be in the cinemas on November 2. A Warner Bros. spokesman said: “It’s our third and most interesting preview trailer. Now that the special effects have been finished, we’ll see Quidditch.”
“Quidditch took months to plan and six months to shoot for a nine-minute scene,” director Chis Columbus added. “Kids were riding brooms (while) interacting with computer-generated backgrounds.” The movie has been dubbed into 24 languages, and another 16 countries are getting subtitled versions.
So far, only the filmmakers, studio executives and preview audiences in Chicago and London have seen the 2-hour, 33-minute film. Those lucky few in Chicago had no advance notice when they arrived at an undisclosed theater. They were told only that they would see a family movie. WB president Fellman says: “When we announced what the movie was, there was 10 to 15 minutes of non-stop applause.” Chris Columbus adds: “The readers were ecstatic, and the non-readers loved the story and wanted to get the books.” (Thanks to Jonathan Nelson and C.S.
