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 think that it is pretty funny that JKR didn't give us any new info with this video. However, something has to be coming soon, doesn't it? It has been a long time since we found out anything new about HP...

I don't get to see any of the cool stuff. I never know what's going on until after (usually, very late after) it has all happened. Anywho, I'm sure it was fun to see.

I guess since its comic, the picture would look like a comic strip thing. I really wished that there would have been more info about the movie.

How come stuff like this is never available to see online?? And I hope they cast Umbridge properly, it would be so disappointing if she wasn't evil enough.

Secrets as always...Well I'll just wait and see when the movie is released. From yate's conception of Prof.Umbridge, I expect she will appear a most awful character. That escape scene with the Weasley twins will be a great deal of fun.

The statues are really great looking!! I like the posters that look more realistic than drawn as this one does. So when can we see the video, even if it's short, let's watch it!!

But how do we know what the secret is if he never told? And is there any recording of this video that the rest of us can watch?
