We previously told you that there would be a video shown at this year's Comic-Con
in San Diego featuring Harry Potter director David Yates and actor Daniel Radcliffe. The video was shown earlier today, in which Dan is about to discuss a 'big Potter' secret but David shows up to interrupt. They then go on to discuss Prof. Umbridge.
From AICN:
The video was really short, but had Daniel Radcliffe sitting in Trelawney's classroom, introducing David Yates. He acts like he's about to tell us a big Potter secret when Yates shows up and interrupts. They talked a tad about getting to see Umbridge (who Yates called a genetic splice between Doris Day and Freddy Kruger) and Hagrid's big giant brother."
We have also received additional information from Eric who says:
To elaborate on this report below that has already appeared elsewhere, the "big Potter secret that Dan was going to tell us was about "the kiss"! After David Yates "interruption" Dan starts to finish his story about the kiss and they both get called away. It was very short but funny. Hall H held a full 6,500 people. Each presentation was met with little enthusiasm and practically no questions, until Dan appeared on screen and everyone cheered and clapped. Short but sweet. They said that it was just too soon to show any movie clips.
If anyone else has information about the video, please drop us a line.
Also thanks to IGN via HPFZyou can see a Dobby statue that is currently on display at Comic-Con.
UPDATE: You can see a shot of the Order of the Phoenix poster currently on show at Comic-Con courtesy of Rope of Silicon.

I don't think the kiss with Cho was such a big deal. She'd just a whiner.

That's great! Haha, I was just thinking "Dam! Wish we knew what the secret was!" then read the rest of the page and found out it was the kiss. Also it was funny how Umbridge was described by David Yates! Can't wait to see her in the film, how well the actress will play her!

Heh, yeah, I guess they're right. We have more that 11 months - practically an entire year before the movie comes out! It IS too soon for clips, but for interviews - oh, NEVER too soon.

Wow! Cool poster! Did anyone else notice that Harry/Dan's eyes were kind of red? Like he'd been crying? Also, he's wearing Gryffindoor robes so maybe this movie's going to have them more in uniform...

Cool!!! Are we going to get this Clip on HPANA???? PLEASE????
So the Potter Secret was the Kiss??!! I'd love to see it!!!
I agree with Yates, Umbridge is a cross between Doris Day and Freddy Crueger......
She's such a evil woman!!!

Thats kinda funny (Yates then addressed the issue of the kiss of the kiss as well, saying "Oh, the kiss? It's..." A production assistant interrupted and said they were both needed on the set. They quickly said goodbye and left, smiling as they left the audience wondering about that darn kiss.)i would be annoyed and exited because of that..they were playin with all of the HP fans

I really want to see that. Any bit of Potter is great no matter how small. Even though I love the books the most, I really enjoy seeing the movies develop.

It is always great to hear any news about the upcoming film. I'll have to try and watch that short image. I am not sure why that is such a big secret, but oh well. I can't wait for it to come out.
