Analysis of HP7 trailer at Comic-Con now online!
As was mentioned in the previous post, Warner Brothers unveiled a new trailer for the final two-part
Harry Potter film, part one premiering this November, the second part opening July 2011.
The clip showed Harry and his two friends Ron and Hermione on the run in a dark world after Voldemort and his cronies overtake the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts school,
and declaring Harry and his friends public enemies, force them into hiding. The uproar causes a civil war among wizardkind, causing everyone to take a side.Meanwhile, Harry and the other two try to work together to topple the dark lord and re-establish peace.
This analysis was made possible by information published by over a dozen sites that attended Comic-Con 2010.

Info concerning Harry Potter event at Comic-Con 2010 now online!
This weekend, Comic-Con, one of the largest cultural events of the year,
was previously announced to feature Harry Potter in one of its available auditoriums.
Comic-Con is known to feature not only comic book writers and artists,
but to promote upcoming books, comic books, and films.
A little while back, Warner Bros announced that they would be making a Harry Potter presentation at Comic-Con,
including footage from the next two HP films.
If fans were expecting several notable names from the Potter films,
they were sadly mistaken.
Only one member of the cast was present at the presentation, along with some people from Warner Bros.
Many sites that had staff attend the event also expressed disappointment at the lack of organization.
For more information concerning the new film footage shown at the event, our next post will cover other additional details.

Warner Bros release new HP7 video game promotion site
About a month ago, Warner Bros
released a new promotional website
for the seventh HP video game.
Over that time, pictures taken from
the game have been released on
EA's Harry Potter 7 game site:

It also says on their site that the game's
art director, Kelvin Tuite, was present
at the Harry Potter convention that took place in Orlando, Florida about a week ago.
Currently, we have little information about the event.
It was announced that artwork from the game was displayed, and Tuite gave a speech about the game.
All that we do know currently is that players will have more action present in the game
and the graphics will be beyond any fan expectations.

JK Rowling to be tried before US Supreme Court
Just yesterday, it was announced that the trial between Harry Potter author JK Rowling and the estate of
Adrian Jacobs will come to a verdict on US soil.
The dispute is centered around the fourth
Harry Potter book and Jacob's book,
"The Adventures of Willy the Wizard",
A low-budget UK children's book released in 1987.
Jacobs died before the fourth HP book was released,
so the estate trustee Paul Allen is taking up the stand.

LEGO launches new LEGO Harry Potter site!
Launched with the US premire of the
LEGO Harry Potter video game, the
all-new site for the Harry Potter based building sets designed by LEGO is now online.
For nearly nine years, LEGO has produced building sets, allowing builders to re-create scenes and locations seen in the films and discribed in the Harry Potter books.
But in 2009, stated that they would not be producing any such sets, as Warner Bros had not signed an agreement that approved it, and shut down the LEGO Harry Potter website that had previously created.
But before the premire of the LEGO Harry Potter video game which is now out, confrimed that future LEGO Harry Potter building sets were under production with a Fall 2010 release.
The photo to the left is character artwork, and below the HP character are the numbers 4738, which we speculate is the ID number of the set in which that character is featured.
To visit the new site devoted to the LEGO Harry Potter building sets, go to:

Warner Bros releases new HP7 site, movie info and more included!
Premiering just after the newly released trailer of the final two films,
the new Harry Potter 7 offical movie site fatures all new site features
dedicated exclusively to the final two films.
This is not the first time Warner Bros has decided to re-model the site.
In between each of the Harry Potter films, Warner Bros re-designs the site to better advertise the upcoming film.
Along with the newly re-designed site came a new poster of the next film,
which is displayed next to this post.
