ABC Family to air OOTP preview on December 1st
A short commercial for an upcoming Order of the Phoenix preview was recently aired on ABC Family. Thanks to reader Ashley, we have a detailed description of the preview's ad:

The first thing that you see is two (what appear to be) Death Eaters, one with a blue mask and one with a green mask, I believe. It then switches to a scene with Harry in it looking scared and sweaty. Then it switches to a scene with Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Neville, and Luna riding broomsticks (they ride on Thestrals in the book) in London right over the Thames River. You see the London Bridge in the background and you see a cruise tour boat that they are flying past. Then it switches to Harry, Ron, and Hermione (Ron isn't present in the book) in the Forbidden Forest backing away from something - it's either Grawp or the Centaurs. Then it switches to Harry, Hermione, Ron, Luna, Neville, and Ginny flying past the Houses of Parliament/Big Ben. And then it switches to Harry flying towards the screen with London in the background, over the Thames River.

The Order of the Phoenix preview will come as part of ABC Family's Harry Potter weekend, which will air on December 1st. We will have a video online shortly afterwards.

Thanks to everyone else who emailed!

That's no possible man! Rupert said that he don't make no scene in a broom... so this report is false... may is the Guard come to gets Harry... and Rupert said that he make some thestrals scenes!! =D Sorry for my english guys... I'm brazilian!! I want the video...Please some taped!!

*squee!* omg im so exciting! who else is seeing happy feet tomorrow? lol


Posted by DomDove Nov 16th 2006

I doubt it's London Bridge, as London Bridge is a scummy little bit of metal and brick. It's probably the magnificent Tower Bridge =] Otherwise, looks awesome =]

OFIHDSOIHFOIHFOHSGODHFG[O HD[OGAHOFIDH!!!!!!!!!! as soon as i saw you people were seeing some OoTP goodness i turned on my TV and clicked to abc family...sadly, i had to keep it on mute because my roommate has a headache and is taking a little nappy...anyhow so i'm sitting here studying for my quiz and glancing at the TV every couple minutes or so and BAM! THERE IT IS! (obviously, i took the TV off of mute for those couple of seconds) squee!!!! although the clips really were .02 seconds short...i care not. every time i see a bit of red and green out of the corner of my eye i freak out a little bit because i think it's the 25 days of christmas thing...heh...


Posted by Moaning_Myrtle Nov 16th 2006

I totally agree with kiwi_chick 31 that someone should please record the preview and post it on google!!! so much easier for people with exams and people moving that exact day!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you ~Moaning Myrtle

PLEASE READ! For people who haven't seen it yet and plan on seeing it, it will be on again at a :45 (ie: 5:45pm, 6:45pm...etc.) around that time. I have seen it twice and each time it was in between :40-:50...if that makes sense. haha.

Posted by xeletors Nov 16th 2006

Please don't get over-excited like I did when I searched Harry Potter commercial on youtube. I didn't find the new one =[ However, this is last year's commercial with harry potter stuff (25 days of christmas) Maybe you're intrested? :P http://youtube.com/ watch?v=cfkKsFF5R6w


Posted by AnimalLover Nov 16th 2006

all these harry potter stuff is making me so excited. i can't wait to see the preview, trailer, whatever.


Posted by Belsito Nov 16th 2006

I suppose they mean TOWER BRIDGE, not London Bridge! I believe an American bought the London Bridge a few years back. He, too, thought that he was getting the Tower Bridge. Quite a nasty surprise for him when he opened the boxes and found an extremely ordinary and not very nice-looking bridge instead. As if they would ever have sold him Tower Bridge which is one of the nation's heirlooms.


Posted by Daaaawlish Nov 16th 2006

does abc family have a live stream that i can watch from somewhere, i dont care how but i need to see this preview!!!


Posted by brainhacker Nov 16th 2006

is this olaying on u.s. tv or england? cuz i just must see that!


Posted by person92 Nov 16th 2006

I saw it when I was watching Sabrina the teenage witch!! Its really short though.


Posted by EldestMushroom Nov 16th 2006

YES! My birthday's on Dec 1st so thats an awesome present!!!


Posted by joanna Nov 16th 2006

SCREAM!!!! I just saw it!! Hyperventilate,cough weez,sputter,fart - oops!! Dec. 3rd they will show POA on ABC Family channel with EXTRA SCENES not seen in theaters!! God, I can't wait til July!!


Posted by jessimo093 Nov 16th 2006

I just saw it, and it looks awesome!!! But I'm hoping that those weren't death eaters. They looked like robots. And what about the Thestrals? If I remember correctly (which I may not), I thought that there was a report about them finishing up a scene with the Thestrals...I guess not. And why would they fly so close to a boat or over a crowded city? Aargh, I'm such a critic. But it looks amazing anyway!!!


Posted by broadwaylova91 Nov 16th 2006

I've seen it twice now. I didn't know they were going to show it the first time when I was watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch and I screamed. The second time I turned on 7th Heaven (a show I never watch) just so I could see the commercial. I stood up right infront of the tv so I could see everything. Then I jumped up and down when I saw it.


Posted by ihearthim Nov 16th 2006

I am soooo psyched. AWSOOOOOOOOOOME.


Posted by xeletors Nov 16th 2006

THIS IS NOW AVIALABLE ON HPANA.COM CHECK IT OUT NOWW


Posted by ihearthim Nov 16th 2006

I also screamed when I saw it. a short very-high pitched scream. I'm so xited, it's even better b/c it's like h.p.'s early b-day present to me(my b-day's the 4th):)


Posted by Felipe Nov 16th 2006

I JUST SAW IT ON HPANA!!! AAAHHHH!!!!!!!! *anxiety attack* *dies* *reincarnates* AAAHHHHH!!!!!! check it out here: http://www.hpana-media.co m/2006/OotP/ABC_Family.ht ml AND ENJOY!!!!!!!


Posted by Daaaawlish Nov 16th 2006

YES I SAW IT!!! it was a pretty awsome 5 sec, probably the best 5 sec of my day lol


Posted by Daaaawlish Nov 16th 2006

it has 7 sec of footage... but it rules and ive watched it about 30 times so that makes up for the lack of footage


Posted by Locoportus2007 Nov 16th 2006

Woohoo!I just wish tomorrow's teaser trailer will come up on youtube or something,and dang!The footage is so cool!And is it just me or is something like a horse behind the trio when running through the forest?


Posted by IAteUmbridge Nov 16th 2006

I saw it on ABC a few minutes ago, but you can't really tell if it's the DA or the Guard. I can't imagine they'd cut the thestrals, and Rupert said he hadn't done any broomstick flying, so I'm guessing it's the guard.


Posted by dragons_melody Nov 16th 2006

but they ride on Thestrals in the book its just not fair !!!!!


Posted by Moony8D Nov 16th 2006

I can't wait to see the trailer or the movie, unfortunately we dont' have ABC in the cable company here :( but I think it's weird that they don't have threstals!! I mean Rupert did say it!! I checked to see if I was right!!!! and here is the proof! **** Rupert Grint says filming the thestrals was his favorite scene in Order of the Phoenix. "It was really a good time because they had to make a mold, a specially made harness that goes under your legs, because in the film it has to be invisible. They put you on this crane and lifted you up in the air."


Posted by dragons_melody Nov 16th 2006

wait i have a ? is it on abc or abc family


Posted by flsilva Nov 16th 2006

Please if someone tape it please put it online so the international fans like myself can watch it !!!


Posted by Witchy_Woman Nov 16th 2006

I'll be watching that.


Posted by psycha Nov 16th 2006

This description is unnacurate. That is not the sextet riding across the Thames. That is: Harry with Moody and Tonks on either side of him with Lupin and Skacklebolt further behind. The Thestrals are in deed used in the movie.


Posted by crazyhpgirl Nov 16th 2006

Sweetness! I just watched it online! It looks really awesome!


Posted by mars Nov 16th 2006

I don't think that the its luna, neville, ginny and the trio flying across london, I think its the order escorting Harry to Grimauld place


Posted by Phoenix_Valor Nov 16th 2006

Phew! That's relief psycha! I was worried for a bit there!


Posted by Kaylad Nov 16th 2006

OMG I will definitly watch ABC family that day for sure!!! I am sooooooooooo excited!!!!


Posted by elven_eyes Nov 16th 2006

Hum, okay, so the little tid bit that I have seen was better than expected...or I don't know. I think it's funny that they're riding THRESTALS over the Thames, though, past tons of muggles in boats or whatever. Yeaaaaah, good going.


Posted by Mimbletonia Nov 17th 2006

consider it TiVoed


Posted by scurvy_cur Nov 17th 2006

thats deffinitely the advanced guard on the brooms! we know the trio, ginny, neville and luna will be riding thestrals because Rupert Grint said about it in an interview and the only person we see clearly in that clip is Harry so why would it not be the Advanced guard when the fly to london on brooms with Harry!?!


Posted by annish007 Nov 17th 2006

GOD HELPP MME IM ABOUT TO EXPLODE WITH EXCITEMENT AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! !!


Posted by hp323232 Nov 17th 2006

i would record it 4 u kiwi_chick(see comment 50) but i don't have abc family.


Posted by GinnyW Nov 17th 2006

Very cool, although the 'blue DE mask' is Voldemort, I believe. I watched it clip by clip and it looks like the same face as on the promo poster that was just released.


Posted by muggle_god Nov 17th 2006

OMG! I was watching ABC 4 an ukown reason and guesss what Isaw that commercial!YAY!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!


Posted by NoOneWouldListen Nov 17th 2006

Finally! It's about time that they run the preview. Especially after dissapointing everyone with the lackluster ABC premiere of PoA. I'll definitely be watching. I saw the commercial for Harry Potter weekend last night, with the slip of Harry flying over the Thames.


Posted by brainhacker Nov 17th 2006

my computer doesnt let me see it! *throw myself down on the carpet and have a wild, but entirely silent, tantrum*
