The Koolaid is Tasty

Okay, for all you skeptics out there: if you are in any way a fan of fantasy, read the Harry Potter books. Do not be dissuaded by the kiddie stuff of the first few books and movies. Harry and his friends grow up, and so does the story. To get an indication of what I mean watch the International Trailer for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Intrigued yet?

Update: Clearer and bigger versions of both trailers can be found on the UK Harry Potter site.

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you talking about the differences between the teaser trailer and the international trailer?

OK. Yeah, the other trailer was the teaser trailer, which came out months ago. It is so hard these days to keep track of the various ad campaigns around the world, but I'm sure that there will soon be a full length "American" trailer that will be more in line with the international trailer.

The Harry Potter franchise is still targeted at kids, so the movie will have to be light-hearted at points. But the books do get more darker and more serious, and I hope the international trailer is an indication that the movie will reflect that, too.

"more darker" -- I'm an idiot.
