The other day mentioned the three films that were going to show trailers in front of The Dark Knight next week… one of the films that was NOT listed was the new Harry Potter film. Well… apparently there will be a mini 15 second trailer for Potter in front of Dark Knight… at least in the IMAX theaters. Our friends over at IESB give us this:
Laurie from Snitchsneeker.com sent over word that they got an official response from IMAX regarding the Harry Potter teaser on The Dark Knight.
Here’s a snippet,
There will be a SHORT, 15 second trailer for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince prior to The Dark Knight.Regards,

What the hell is the point of a 15 second trailer? I can understand an “announcement” trailer for a film that maybe a lot of people don’t know is coming out… but is there anyone on this rock that isn’t currently aware that there’s going to be another Harry Potter film? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have a problem with them doing this… but I just fail to see the practical upside. It’s not going to “spread the word” about the new potter film… and Potter fans aren’t going to get any more excited over a 15 second spot. Meh… maybe I’m wrong.
