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.

WOW it's so cool that all that people started to cheer and clap when they saw Dan. It seems like they were a little bored and then they saw this clip and it wake up their enthusiasm! :)
I would love to see this video, I don't care if it's short or if we already know what they said...
It's always great to hear and see Dan, and I want to see how the new director is.

That sounds interesting. I feel better not watching it knowing that Dan wasn't really in character or anything but that it was more like an interview.

Well thank you HPANA for keeping us up to date. It's great that the filmakers and the stars do recognise the importance of these conventions and have something/or some input for the fans too, hope to see it soon though!

I'd love to see the video if anyone has it. The pics of Hagrid Dobby, and Lucius were good. They seem to have been teasing people with that talk of a kiss. I'm sure it's Hermione kissing Ron though.

I feel sorry for the other display people who didn't get a response... but I do understand the enthusiasm for Harry Potter and that probably helped market some of the other clips.

Cool. Sounds fun. I remember "Potter at the Palace" and I actually liked that more than a few of the movies. This sounds like it is sort of the same, only Dan's Dan and not Harry. Whoot!
