New ‘Harry Potter’ Trailer Is Out, Breathtaking

Fans of “Harry Potter” must be on the edge of their seat right now, especially since a new official trailer for “Deathly Hallows: Part I” has just been released – and it looks positively breathtaking.

The final Harry Potter book, as fans must know, has been divided into two parts, each one getting its separate silver screen adaptation.

The first film arrives in theaters on November 19, while Part II is scheduled for release on July 15, 2011 – but both films have David Yates at the helm.

After reports that shooting for the franchise is done (the films are now in post-production though), fans can now have a first proper taste of what the upcoming production will look like.

As Entertainment Weekly’s PopWatch puts it, if you’re a fan and you watch this trailer, you’d better not blink because it’s edited in such a way as to literally keep you on your toes.

“It’s a roughly two minute barrage of you’d-better-not-blink shots designed to goose Potter-heads with glimpses of all the new (and returning) characters, and iconic sequences and moments, we’ve been practically feverish to see on screen,” EW writes.

“Ooo that’s Bill Nighy as new Minister of Magic Rufus Scrimgeour and wait now Voldemort’s peering into Dumbledore’s tomb and oh hey there’s the gravesite of Harry’s parents and eek it’s Prof. Snape by Voldemort’s side and hang on Imelda Staunton’s back as the diabolically pink Dolores Umbridge and whoa Harry, Ron and Hermione barely missed that double-decker bus in central London and…you get the idea,” the same e-zine notes, driving the point home.

However, that takes nothing from the appeal of the next installment of the film, which seems to be bigger and better than previous releases (but also a bit darker, too).

For one, there will be a lot of action going on, all leading up to the epic finale of what has been perhaps the biggest film franchise of our times – as the trailer itself is indicative of.

“We also get all-too-brief peeks at the seven Harry Potters; the wedding of Ron’s brother Bill to Fleur Delacour; the Death Eaters’ assault on said wedding; the flight of the said seven Potters; the fight between Harry and Ron; Dobby!; Harry, Ron, and Hermione infiltrating the Ministry of Magic; and Luna Lovegood’s father Xenophilius (Rhys Ifans), despairing at the attack on his home,” EW says in yet another breathless phrase of the trailer.

Without further ado, below is the new official trailer for “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I.” Enjoy.
