Just in case you are one of the few who won't be going to see the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight, in an IMAX theater this weekend, you can now view the 15-second teaser trailer
the we told you about previously for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on YouTube or below.

UGH! Are you joking?! That was so lame! We got one sentence out of that and a black screen for pretty much most of it! *hmpf*

I saw this on YouTube and seeing as how it wa only 23 seconds long and the centre shot was of the title, figured it must be a hoax. I guess it wasn't then... but it wasn't much of a trailer. I'd rather not see too much of it before November anyhow. Remember the over-promoting they did for the Goblet of Fire. We near enough saw the whole film before it came out.

That didn't seem like a trailer (or even a teaser trailer, which I understand is supposed to be short).
That was a logo and a sound bite--I had to play it 3 times before I believed that that was it.

Well it should have been 30 seconds, but I'll take this. They don't call them "teasers" for nothing, that's for sure...

When they say "teaser", this is the exact definition of it!! Talk about short! And did anyone else have trouble understanding what he said? I only did when I cranked up my volume near max...

Talk about TEASER!!!!! That is so not fair! We are less than 6 months away from this movie and we still haven't had a real trailer for the movie! This is gonna be an awesome movie just by the shear secrecy of it. Can't wait til Nov.!

Kind of disappointing IMO... where's the good stuff? Why's WB being so stingy this time around? Are they trying to keep things suspenseful now that the series is complete or something...?

I'm SenDiNg YOu A MeSsaGE You're right, that doesn't make sense, but sense the line is actually "Once again, I must ask too much of you Harry"... it makes perfect sense.

That was the most insulting thing I've ever seen, or didn't see.
All of that hype that it was going to be seen at the Batman movie. I'm so glad I didn't waste my money going to see it.
Blessings! Hecate3fold!

It's called a TEASER for a reason. It's supposed to TEASE the audience. *rolls eyes*

Wow, that was so painfully lame. I'd expect something like this if we at least 7 months away from the release date, not 4 months. As a huge release for the winter season, they should've had a real attention-grabbing teaser, or even full trailer, out during the summer movie season. THAT'S how you advertise a film--get as many people interested as possible during peak movie season. And if they're going to advertise that select scenes would be in IMAX 3D, they should have given us like a 5-second shot of the movie that would have audiences thinking it would be SPECTACULAR to see in 3D.
WB, who is running your advertising department? I didn't even study advertising in college, and I can figure this stuff out better than whoever you're paying.

Am I the only one that's remotely happy with this trailer?
I mean sure it wasn't as long or as video-filled as OOTP, but it's still something. (:
The fact that it doesn't give away much gives me tingles down my spine.
It makes me desperately want to see it now!
So personally, WB, you've done a fantastic job at keeping fans hooked and always wanting more. Well done. (:
But seriously. I want clips soon.

When are you going to understand this? That was just an ad, not a teaser! The real trailer's coming out on August 1 with Mummy 3.

That's it? Geez. They really need to get over this thing. It's totally turning off people who don't usually watch HP movies. I think it would be wonderful for them to advertise to people other than us, meaning release the real trailer early enough so that everyone knows that the movie is going to be in theaters. Most people don't even realize it because the only advertisement they get is this unmemorable garbage.

Something's up, because by this time, we usually get a trailer, a full trailer, behind the scenes stuff on TV and stuff like that, but all we've gotten are lots of photos, 1 behind the scenes interview on TV and this teaser trailer. Which is SO DAMN LAME! At this rate, we aren't going to get anything. It's like they forgot to promote the movie. They mind as well have not released this trailer, its so bad.
