Harry Potter and misc.

Greetings one and all. Sorry about the long gap in updates. Lets just say I took a long break from the internet for the holidays. I survived the first week of 2005 without any major issues and I hope you all did too!! Lets get the clock started for another two mintue drill!

-Over the holidays J.K. Rowling announced that the next installment of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (Doest really roll of the tongue..but thats another story...) would be hitting bookshelves in July. Already the internet and various message boards are abuzz with who will not survive year 6. Everyone from Mr and Mrs Weasley to Remus Lupin have been discussed as possible victims of Voldemort. My only thoughts on the subject is: Who's to say a villian wont die?? Why does it have to be someone from the side of good?? A scenario that I see happening either in Book 6 or Book 7 is Peter Pettigrew (AKA Wormtail) dying while saving Harry Potterfrom Voldemort. As strange as that sounds, lets not forget that he is in debt to Harry for saving his life in year 3. There is also the redemption factor. He knows that he betrayed his friends. The guilt of his actions my very well overwhelm him. True we have seen no real signs of remorse from him, as of yet. But his loyalty to Voldemort did come into question in book 4. We'll have to wait and see what happens. Whatever the case may be, here's hoping the sixth book becomes a worthy addition to the Harry Potter timeline.

-Of course we cant talk about the sixth book without also mentioning that "Goblet of Fire" will be released in theatres this coming November. This is Warner Bros chance to redeem themselves from the disaster (Not just my opinion) that was the movie version of "Prisoner of Azkaban".  If my calculations are correct we could be seeing the first teaser trailer very soon. While discussing the subject a few nites ago, I dreamt up how I think the trailer should go. Keep in mind this would be a TEASER trailer and not a full blown movie preview. So without further ado:

         *DOUGS GOBLET OF FIRE FANTASY TEASER TRAILER*

We open with a shot of a cemetary...there is a somber tune playing....the ground is covered in mist....we pan over to see Harry Pottertied to a tombstone..his mouth has been gagged....Harry is struggling to free himself...He looks up and we see that he is looking at the back of a man (Wormtail) Suddenly we hear the man speak..it is the first part of Voldemorts reincarnation spell "Bone of the father....." cut to quick clips of the movie..just random shots..nothing that would give away too much...we are back in the cemetary now...we hear the second part of the spell "flesh of the servant..." more clips of the movie...the somber music begins to pick up...again at the cemetary..the music, while still somber is begining to build in sound..as if its working to a big finale..but is not there yet...we hear the final part of the spell "blood of the enemy...." there is a flash...we see one last batch of quick clips..then we are back at Harry...he has a look of terror on his face...we close in on the reflection on the lens of his glasses....slowly but surely we see the outline of something dark...slowly rising..and rising...the music has reached its full crescendo...Harry is looking up...not quite believeing what he is seeing..Before we can see what he is loooking at...we cut to..(Voice over) "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"..(The somber version of the Harry Potter theme plays) We are back on Harry...a look of fear in his face...we hear a cold, villain like laugh (Voldemort)...end of trailer!

Not a bad little teaser I think...But what do you all think??
