Harry Pothead

This new trailer (Link) for the upcoming Harry Potter film (HP & The Order of The Phoenix) just came out today,and I thought I'd share it with anyone interested.Having read the book many years back,I can't recall much of the details so saying I'm a thoroughly avid,loyal fan of the franchise wouldn't be too true.The first film was much too kiddy,I liked the third (particularly because Alfonso Cuaron directed it-his Y tu mama tambien remains one of my fave foreign films) but the most recent,HP & The Goblet of Fire is vastly superior in terms of how the actors had matured into their characters and how close the film adaptation came to successfully capture the material's liveliness.Interesting was how the choice of Ralph Fiennes as Lord Voldermort,which at first seemed peculiar and felt awkward,turned out to be perfect-and it's terrific how studios often surprise us by choosing actors unaccustomed to certain type of roles take on new challenges-the next big shocker will presumably be Heath Ledger's take on Joker in the Batman Begins sequel,The Dark Knight.And they made the right decision by suitably replacing the reigning queen of superhuman lameness Katie Holmes ("ew"),with Maggie Gyllenhaal in the role of Rachel Dawes.Okay,getting too carried away-back to Harry Potluck....Seeing this trailer for the next installment-the single glimpse of the strangely attractive and resonant Helena Bonham Carter (her performance in Fight Club was part of why the film was so mind-blowingly-freakin' awesome) as Bellatrix Lestrange is enough to convince me that this will be the best.
