This full length trailer for the sixth Harry Potter film is a dramatic
serious trailer, full of new music, stunning new footage, most notably
Snape whispering "It's Over."New are dramatic scenes in the cave, new
dialogue from Dumbledore on how he can not destroy it by himself, and
Lupin speaks about a mission given to Draco Malfoy. There are new shots
of Ginny reaching out to Harry saying "take my hand," and then, they
hold hands. Also new are shots of the Quidditch stadium, a close up of
the Dark Mark, Hermione smacking Ron on the shoulder with her book in
the Great Hall, stunned students standing at the bottom of the tower,
Draco, Harry and Sectumsempra fight in the bathroom, a cursed Katie
Bell hanging in the snowy air, much to the horror of the Trio, new
shots of the creeping crawling Inferi, Draco wavering on the Tower
saying "I have to do this," new footage of the Death Eater attack on
the Bridge in London and much much more.
The very first line of this trailer just reinforces my dislike for the casting of Michael Gambon to replace the late lamented Richard Harris as Dumbledore. Actually, it might have been the director’s fault, but Gambon should’ve at least read the books in order to research the part. If he had, he would’ve realized that the line isn’t “This place HAS KNOWN magic,” as in the past participle of the verb “to know,” but rather “This place has KNOWN magic” – as in “magic that is already known to me, familiar magic.” Dumbledore can recognize the type of magic that Riddle uses as surely as a fingerprint or DNA. So the word “known” should’ve been emphasized. How lame is it to lead off a trailer with a line that is clearly misread?
