More Futurism
I actually think this is a bit absurd and when I got my annual note about the countdown to the new Potter trailer, I rolled my eyes and started thinking about writing about how I think that this kind of countdown stuff is reaching its point of cultural irrelevance... much the same feeling I have - with due respect to a site and a staff I really do respect and appreciate - when I get my fifth indieWIRE alert of the day about some tiny distributor picking up some tiny film for the cost of a lunch and a print... at some point, all the "must see now" alerts become "must wait til it happens to float past me."
However, I haven't seen this specific kind of thing before... and so I post...
6:03p - And now... after the trailer ran... looks like another Potter film... it seems that all they left behind was a noisy/cute Hulu promo every time someone loads the page... and no repeat viewing option for the trailer... hmmm....

This will be the sixth official trailer for this film, and yet here I am, pumped up due to a countdown.
What can I say, Countingdown.com used to be a vice of mine.

Good trailer. But I fear it gives away all the money shots in the movie.

Hulu = IN THE BIN!
(I fear nobody on here will get that joke, but just know that it is hilarious.)

Great trailer. I know it's popular to bag on this series, but the last three have been extremely solid. I'm still surprised - and a little weary - that they managed to get a PG-rating from that book.

Warner really knows what it's doing. As if to assuage the fears of fans over the PG rating, this trailer is cut like an R-rated supernatural thriller, with many of the frightening images that fans were afraid would be cut. Book 6 was one of the best in the series, and this looks shockingly good, even for this remarkably consistent series. For reasons I won't even hint at, I still cannot wait to watch the climax of part 6 in a crowded theater and see the reaction of those who haven't read the book.
