TV Spots, Trailers, Posters, and much more!




Well it has been like a month since the very first Deathly Hallows Part One Trailer has been released! After the release of that trailer the Part One marketing has become HUGE! There are like two mini-trailers that are very closely related to that of e original (to see on see to the right and look for Scream Awards one.) Another huge marketing tactic they, Warner Brothers, have used is, TV Spots as we all know by now! Well just like 3 hours ago WB released two more! To see one of the new released two click on very top video on the right! In total there have been 10 (I think) TV spots. I have no idea why but TV spots always get to me! They come out of nowhere I think is why. I am just sitting at home and all of a sudden a trailer for a Harry Potter movie will come on and I am like to my family, "Shut Up!" These new ones were excellent they show just enough footage. If you have not seen them yet, well then you are missing out because they (well some of them) have released completely new stuff! It is just so great! Now one thing I always have to get when a Harry Potter movie comes out is a poster! I already have my very first Deathly Hallows Part One poster in my room! I am missing posters from, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban, and Order of the Phoenix. Otherwise I have a movie poster for every Harry Potter Movie to date! How many, and which Harry Potter movies do you have posters for??? Now the only poster that they have released for Part One are those character ones, which just he heads of some of the characters. I find them a little bit creepy! My favourite one though (and the one I own) is the one with the trio running! This one just appealed to my eyes the second I laid eyes on it! Now another thing to talk about is the tickets. The tickets for the movie are now on sale at Fandago.com but I do not like to purchase tickets online! I love to make sure I have the ticket. So I have been calling my local theatre once a week to see if they have them available. So far no luck! I am going to call next week though, and they said they should have them by then! Do you have your tickets yet or no?

Well thanks for reading my fellow readers! Hope you enjoyed this kind of short blog post. I will try and do better over time! :D Remember to check back daily here though for new entertainment things, and possible blog posts! Remember though, I only promise one a week at the least! Most likely more than that but no promises! Leave answers to questions that I asked at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com also leave questions to me or comments at my email too! Any suggestions for entertainment things? Let me know at my email too. Thanks again! :D

Thing's I forgot to mention






Hi, again! I know I just did a blog post, but I forgot to mention a couple of things that you might be wondering what they are! Firstly I have decided to start tagging my Blog Posts, and i wanted you to know what some of the tags standed for. HP stands for of course Harry Potter. DH, I am guessing you know but it stands for Deathly Hallows. CD stands for Countdown. 21 will be a different number each day and it stands for the days left until Part One and it will change to be the days until Part Two after Part One is released. Book2 means it has come from one of the Harry Potter books, but the number stands for which book. Movie7 is the same as the one before this one except it is for the movie. Now if I add a new tag I will tell you what it means in the P.S. section of the blog when i first start using it. If you do ever have and questions on any tag just email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com

Now the other thing I had forgotten to mention was the the twitter account HParmy is now not being used by me! So to be apart of the cause, just follow my hpfan7 account. Also just the email is back to my regular one at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com

So i just thought i would let you know about those minor fixes before anyone got confused! Well thanks for reading. A regular, back to normal Blog Post will be Online tonight! :D

Thanks again,

Back but. . . .




Hi! As you might know by following my twitter account, Hpfan7, you might have released that the reason I haven't been blogging lately is because I have been way to busy and everything with school. I miss doing this blog posts though. So, I have come up with the idea of not always promising blog posts, like 3 a day. I am promising at the very least one a week. Most likely it is going to be a lot more than that, but this is my absolute promise. Once a week.

So now lets talk about new things I have added to the Potter's Army Blog. I have made a entertainment section to the right as you can see. Two of the newish TV spots have been added to the side! I have also put like 3 or 4 posters to the side. A poll is also there to vote on at least once a week a new poll will be up and online! There will be new stuff added within the week. The Video's will also be changed once a week! When the newest trailer is released for Part One it will be online within the day of it's release! The entertainment section on the right side is all dedicated at the moment to Deathly Hallows Part One since the movie is only 21 days away! The theme of this section could change over time. For now though the theme is going to be Part One. Why? Well as the movie is coming up!!!!! YAY! haha! It will change over time though! :D

Well I am hoping that you are going to like Potter's Army as I continue to publish new posts at least once a week! I hope you will like the new entertainment section to the side! New things will be added soon for newer things to look and do on the site! :D

Thanks for reading and thanks for staying with me if you have started with me from the beginning! :D

P.S.
21 DAYS UNTIL HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART ONE! :D

Book 6, Chapter 27 Excerpt




Hey my wonderful readers. Here is today's selection for Potter's Army BOOK EXCERPT! Now remember all the rights go to Joanne Rowling, and Scholastic Inc. I am not trying to copy, just trying to provide you, my readers, with a daily selection from the books that we all love. I hope that you will enjoy today's selection.

Today's selection comes from "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" on Chapter 27. As I said I hope you enjoy the selection from within Chapter 27 (It does not start right at the beginning of the Chapter.) Remember if you do not want the story to be spoiled, and you have not read this book yet (or watch the movie) DO NOT READ CONTAINS MANY SPOILERS!!!!

BOOK EXCERPT:

HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE

CHAPTER 27

THE LIGHTING STRUCK THE TOWER (starts on page 584, top of page)

Harry hurried over to the door leading to the spiral staircase, but his hand had only just closed upon the iron ring of the door when he heard running footsteps on the other side. He looked around at Dumbledore, who gestured him to retreat. Harry backed away, drawing his wand as he did so.
The door burst open and somebody erupted through it and shouted, "EXPELLIARMUS!"
Harry's body became instantly rigid and immobile, and he felt himself fall back against the tower wall, propped like an unsteady statue, unable to move or speak. He could not understand how it had happened----Expelliarmus was not a Freezing Charm----
Then, by the light of the Mark, he saw Dumbledore's wand flying like in an arc over the edge of the ramparts and understood. . . . Dumbledore wordlessly immobilized Harry, and the second he had taken to perform the spell had cost him the chance of defending himself.
Standing against the ramparts, very white in the face, Dumbledore still showed no sign or panic or distress. He merely looked across at his disarmer and said, "Good evening, Draco."
Malfoy stepped forward, glancing around quickly to check that he and Dumbledore were alone. His eyes fell upon the second broom.
'Who else is here?"
"A question I might ask you. Or are you acting alone?"
Harry saw Malfoy's pale eyes shift back to Dumbledore in the greenish glare of the Mark.
"No," he said. "I've got backup. There are Death Eaters here in your school tonight."
"Well, well," said Dumbledore, as though Malfoy was showing him an ambitious homework project. "Very good indeed. You found a way to let them in, did you?"
"yeah," said Malfoy, who was panting. "Right under your nose and you never realized!"
"Ingenious," said Dumbledore. "Yet. . . forgive me. . . . where are they now? You seem unsupported."
"They met some of your guards. They're having a fight down below. They won't be long. . . . i came on ahead. I---I've got a job to do."
"Well, then you must get on and do it, my dear boy," said Dumbledore softly.
There was silence. Harry stood imprisoned within his own invisible, paralysed body, staring at the two of them, his ears straining to hear sounds of the Death Eaters' distant fight, and in front of him, Draco Malfoy did nothing but stare at Albus Dumbledore, who, incredibly, smiled.
"Draco, Draco, you are not a killer."
"How do you know?" said Malfoy at once.
He seemed to realise how childish the words had sounded; Harry saw him flush in the Mark's greenish light.
"You don't know what I am capable of," said Malfoy more forcefully. "You don't know what I've done!"
"Oh yes, I do," said Dumbledore mildly. "You almost killed Katie Bell and Ronald Weasley. You have been trying, with increasing desperation, to kill me all year. Forgive me, Draco, but they have been feeble attempts. . . . So feeble, to be honest, that I wonder wether your heart has been really in it."
"It has been in it!" said Malfoy vehemently. "I've been working on it all year, and tonight---"
Somewhere in the depths of the castle below Harry heard a muffled yell. Malfoy stiffened and glanced over his shoulder.
"Somebody is putting up a good fight," said Dumbledore conversationally. "But you were saying. . . yes, you have managed to introduce Death Eaters into my school, which I admit, I thought impossible. . . . How did you do it?"
But Malfoy said nothing: He was still listening to whatever was happening below and seemed almost paralyzed as Harry was.
"Perhaps you ought to get on with the job alone," suggested Dumbledore. "What if your backup has been thwarted by my guard? As you have perhaps realised, there are members of the Order of the Phoenix here tonight too. And after all, you don't really need help. . . . I have no wand at the moment . . . . I cannot defend myself."
Malfoy merely stared at him.
"I see," said Dumbledore kindly, when Malfoy neither moved nor spoke. "You are afraid to act until they join you."
"I'm not afraid!" snarled Malfoy, though he still made no move to hurt Dumbledore. "It's you who should be scared!"
"But why? I don't think you will kill me, Draco. Killing is not nearly as easy as the innocent believe. . . . So tell me, while we wait for your friends. . . how did you smuggle them in here? It seems to have taken a long time to work out how to do it."
Malfoy looked as though he was fighting down the urge to shout, or to vomit. He gulped and took several deep breaths, glaring at Dumbledore, his wand pointing directly at the latter's heart. Then, as though he could not help himself, he said, "I have to mend that broken Vanishing Cabinet that no one's used for years. The one Montague got lost in last year."
"Aaaah." Dumbledore's sigh was half a groan. He closed his eyes for a moment. "That was clever. . . . There is a pair, I take it?"

Well there is today's selection from Half-Blood Prince! I hope you enjoyed today's selection! Remember to tune in way later tonight for the very first MOVIE TALK! :D Dunno what movie yet? I will find out soon though! :D Thanks again for reading my wonderful readers.

The Newest Part One Trailer




Well here is the special blog I was going to release last night for you my readers. I fell asleep before I could write it. So sorry, but here it is for you to enjoy!

So, as you can tell by the title and the picture for this blog, it is going to be about the latest Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One trailer! Well what about it? Well, I am kind of going to give my review/personal opinion of the trailer, and what it showed us. Like all the new scenes we got a look at.

So if I were to rate this trailer, I would give it a Five out of Five stars! Why? Well because it was AMAZINGLY EPIC!!! Just like the poll voters had said. The winning response to the last poll was AMAZINGLY EPIC! So I am guessing that the most of you readers thought that this specific trailer deserves a 5 out of 5 star rating. Other reasons it gets a 5 out of 5, well because it showed a lot of what is coming with the first part of this epic finale. Not to much though to give away the plot! Now what I mean? It was just right on the content they gave us! It makes the movie want to be seen by non-Harry Potter fans! That is just amazing. I really liked this trailer, and I am coming to conclusions by saying that all of you did too! Now the new content Warner Brothers gave us! Well firstly the thing I am most glad they showed us was like maybe a 5 second look at the SEVEN POTTERS SCENE!!! That is what I really liked. I also liked the part at the wedding. Another really amazing part they showed us was our first look/scene with the new Minister of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour. I was really glad with that scene. It makes everything seem so dark. The Malfoy Manor scene with Professor Snape WAS AWESOME! "I must be the one to kill Harry Potter." I LOVED IT SO MUCH!! Oh they also showed us scenes from the part in the book where Harry dives into that pond and tries to get the sword. I liked that. It may seem like they released a lot, but really it is just enough! I am not even going to ask for another trailer! They have done enough now, we just look forward to some EPIC TV spots, am i right? Haha one thing I was confused with was the part where the guy was smiling at Voldemort? What was that? OH WAIT I FORGOT ONE SCENE I LOVE! The part with Luna's Father when he yells 'I'VE GOT HIM!" GOOSEBUMPS!!!!! Haha. Oh one other thing is when Harry says this at the Shell Cottage scene, "Help me!" I LOVE IT! Ugh this trailer every time I see it gets me so excited for the movie even though I already am! Ugh 49 MORE DAYS AWAY! Can you wait that long? I am going insane! AHHH! :D

Haha, well I hope you enjoyed this SPECIAL BLOG POST! Today, is going to be a busy day for blog post. Tonight i have to do the Movie Talk, in which I would like you readers to pick the movie, just comment in the comment box, or email me at noahmbitney@gmail.com, or tweet me on my @HParmy account! Well I also have to do a BOOK EXCERPT and one of my regular blog posts since this was a SPECIAL BLOG POST! :D Well i hope you enjoyed this blog post! Thanks for reading my awesome readers.
