It seems WB is mixing and matching footage for several different commercials. Perhaps many of these are scenes from the final theatrical trailer – said by USA Today to be coming out Nov. 2nd, the same day Disney’s Monster, Inc. hits theatres. Here’s description of another one from C.S. Brown:

I taped Kids WB programming today in hope to get a glimpse of the new TV spots. I got one but it’s neither of the two reported. It has the same narration images as the first TV spot but after is says At Hogwarts there are wizards, witches…. it shows McGonagall in cat form jumping and transforming back into human form, and cuts to Ron in his Christmas sweater in the dorm eating every flavor beans, saying “Whoa!” cuts to Norbert and Hagrid and Hermione luring the Troll from the first spot, again cuts to Ron, this time calling a commands to his chess set, “Queen to E-5” ( I think) then says “That’s Wizard’s chess!” cuts to the giant chess set and all the pawns whip swords out of their sheaths in unison (very cool!), then back to Fluffy (but a much improved version than the first spot) and ends with Malfoy throwing the rememberall and Harry chasing after.

The only thing I’m not sure that I’ve placed the troll and Norbert in the proper order, but otherwise that summary of the scenes included. This spot aired during the first commercial break during the 3:30 (Central Standard Time) episode of Pokemon.
