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.

Oh that's just amazing how they discribed Umbridge, I never really thought about her like that. Now I'll have that image fresh in my head for a nightmare.

I'm glad they did that. It does sound funny, how Dan was going to tell us the big secret about the kiss which we all know he couldn't wait for, and then is interruped by Yates. I want to see this; I wonder if it will show up online?

I can't wait to see what that movie looks like, especially with the giant brother and toad-like Umbridge... He has to do a lot of work to put every pieces together.

That was quite interesting, I'm just looking forward to watch some of the movie clips, can't wait :D I can already imagine what it would be like, but the part that I'm mostly looking forward to see is Harry and Cho's kissing scene :D that scene should be very interesting ;)

That's really funny that all the people were there to see the Harry Potter bit. Otherwise, I'm sure the room wouldn't have nearly as full. haha

Too bad we all can't see it. Sounds great. I wonder if the "kiss" has been filmed yet.

That's pretty funny...Trust JKR to pretend to tell us something, and then get away with giving up absolutely nothing. When are we going to start to find some things out?

I agree with Yates, Umbridge is a cross between doris day and freddy crueger, especially freddy crueger. They made us think they were showing up a clip from the actual movie, but they didn't. They fooled us, how dare they!

Ok, that's good news they had some surprise, but why don't they give us the video? I really would love to see this little funny conversation :D
Anyway, if you think about it, it's a bit early indeed to show any movie clips, as the film is approximately one year away. I hope we will have the first teaser trailer by november. I don't think they give it away earlier.
Hugs,
Hermione5
