Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Teaser Trailer
Apple - Trailers - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Franchises are increasingly using nostalgia as a means to engender good will for their latest entries. One quarter or so of Revenge of the Sith’s teaser trailer was made up of footage from the five preceding movies. Land of the Dead does the same thing and pretty much relies on it as well.
So to the trailer for the latest Harry Potter entry. The only difference is this one uses it to better effect than the two examples above. The first part of the trailer shows clips of Harry, Ron and Hermione from all three previous movies and then a clip from Goblet of Fire. Since one of the main plot points in the series has been how they grow up this approach makes a lot of sense. It also reminds us just how young these kids looked when the series started.
After getting that out of the way the trailer moves into standard plot-setup territory. Something about a competition that will earn the victor eternal fame or some such. Not being a follower of the books or the movies (I’ve only ever seen the first one and didn’t care for it) I wasn’t that interested but I’m guessing Harry and his pals find a way to come out on top, if not statistically than at least morally.
