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.

Oooh, I can't wait to see the kiss scene! But I would only like to first see it while watching the movie, and not through a spoiler leak!

Wow I forgot all about Hagrids brother, that's going to be awesome to see, I can't wait. Hopefully they don't make a mockery of it. And I'm looking forward to seeing Umbridges pink bow.

Although i really want movie clips i agree it's just too soon if they're not releasing it until next year, otherwise we'll be tormented even more.

I want to know the secrets! Though, I suppose that if I did know them, then they wouldn't be secrets. Dan seems pretty eager about the whole kiss thing. He certainly sounded enthusiastic when he talked about it in the Goblet extras!

I wish we could have found just a bit more about the OotP movie. hehe, that's a funny statue of Dobby (but it does look like him). Hmm, the poster doesn't tell us much about the movie.

Aggh not more fuss over 'the kiss' *rolls eyes* I may be a fan, but im not a screaming fan girl. pretty bad the other people at comic con didnt get much enthusiasm though, must have made them feel a tad inadequate. Never mind. hehe

I am still biding my time to see any of the shots or posters etc. I am trying very hard and am determined not to ruin this movie by seeing too much of it before it comes out.

I doubt they'd give anything away. It'd be just to build up suspense about what will happen in the next movie. But it's a brilliant idea if you want the current Harry Potter fans to be drooling and wondering what'll happen next.

Yeah I was going to say. They havn't really done much filming yet. It's pretty hard to find a clip from nothing.
Ahh well
Good luck to the entire cast and crew in filming Order!
