Warner Brothers released nine new TV spots for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows earlier today. Each is only about 30 seconds long, but all are chocked full of new footage . From the kiss with Ginny and Harry to the anticipated “Seven Potters in a Bra” scene, these trailers are a perfect appetizer for the movie.
For the first time in the trailers, we can experience some of Rowling’s classic humor. Unforgettable lines such as Fleur’s, “Don’t look at me! I’m hideous” and the twin’s “Look! We’re identical!” weren’t thrown out by screenwriters. In fact, these new trailers bring to light the writers and producer’s commitment to maintaining accuracy with the book; most of the dialogue present in trailers is identical to that of the book.
Quite conversely, however, a few of these focus on the darkness, terror, and despair in these books. We see clearly for the first time the whip Bellatrix uses on Hermione; we hear for the first time the infamous “Nagini – dinner” line; we feel the absolute desperation of Xenophilius and the choice he makes; we find ourselves chilled to the bone at the sight of dementors swarming through the Ministry.
Don’t have time to watch all nine? Here are the three you have to watch. (And tell me, then, that you resisted going and watching the rest).
