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.

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!

This is just another tease to keep our interest. Still it's exciting. Professor Umbridge, I may be wrong, but I think the actress who is going to play her is the same one who played the cook in Nanny McPhee. I don't remember her name either. Can anyone fill me in? Blessings! Hecate3fold!

Too bad that it is too soon to see any clips from the movie. But it is heartening to know that it was so well recieved. Hopefully, we will get to see the clip soon.

I would love to see that interview to see what they say about Umbridge and "the kiss". I want to see what Umbridge's classroom looks like as well.

Oh such a tease!!! A cute way yo do it but such a tease...
Hopefully, someone recorded it or it will be released for everyone to view. Most everything else ends up on the internet at some point, so I'm sure this will too.
Umbridge sounds like she will be quite the character we are all going to love to hate, just like in the book. Can't wait to see for sure!

Darn I missed the clip. I guess it's not that bad that I missed it since they didn't show footage from the OotP.
