Friend, this is the one that they used in front of HP:DH.

This is the fourth trailer (and most recent one). The one they should be using in cinemas:

I think that the 3rd trailer is a much better trailer than the 4th. #4 it is just so disjointed and it doesn't have as much information on the movie, I would be more inclined to see it if I had seen the 3rd rather than the 4th.

Really? I think the 4th trailer is much more interesting, yes, even if the editing isn't the greatest at times.

Oh this whole 4th vs 5th trailer thing alone is going to confuse me to death... (*assumes they all mean number 5) I vote from now on we refer to it as the theatrical trailer, so as to dispell confusion.

There was a teaser and there have been three trailers following that one. What's so hard to understand?

@Warrior, this:

Is this technically even a trailer? Is it a really long tv spot? If it is a trailer, it's number four, and the theatrical is number 5... although I guess we could call it 3.5 since its basically a remix of #3, then the theatrical could be number 4... hmmm... I kind of like that idea actually

Just to show how catholic the tastes the trailers catered for, there was a Columbia films trailer for a 2011 film with two men, machinery, and weapons which went on for a bit. They seem to be spending as much time fighting each other as whatever enemy they were combining against, and they didn't have the excuse of an evil horcrux affecting their view of the world, unlike Ron and Harry.

Why would you even post this? Bashing Catholics is completely irrelevant to the topic at hand.

Oh dear! This was a play on the word 'catholic', which not only refers to the Catholic church in its entirety, not to mention its application in the Anglo-Catholic version of the Anglican Church, as well as the catholic reference in the Nicean creed, but also the word, 'catholic's, true meaning, which is a synonym for 'universal'. I would have hoped that you would have 'got it', and seen it for all its implications. Including the variety of film studios which produced the trailers of the films which I mentioned.

Yes, a lower case 'c' in the word 'catholic' implies the universal church, the Body of Christ. No need to get offended!

I think what makes the whole trailer thing confusing is that it's hard for me to know what is considered a trailer. The ones that I would normally considered "trailers" would be the teaser, international, and theatrical trailer. I'd hardly call the other two trailers...but I guess they are.

Yes, that's the exact same problem I have- they're not really trailers, but they're not tv spots either, so... what are they?

The Theatrical Trailer is clearly a trailer - although it was edited strangely, it still has the same structure as a typical trailer.

The BBC trailer is edited SO poorly and has so little structure and is so short I'd just call it a TV spot. It was also never released in HD or anything like the other ones.

Oh, ok! Sorry for the misunderstanding - I had gotten confused when you had mentioned the ad for the Catholic boy's school right before.

The trailer that was shown on the BBC at the end of Film2010 was essentially the same footage as the International Trailer.

The reason it was edited in such a manner was firstly to shorten the run-time so it could be played over the end credits of the show (hence the more lengthy dialogue scenes were removed), but more importantly to avoid the fact that the BBC as a publicly funded TV channel are not allowed to show adverts - therefore they had to remove all the elements of the trailer such as the title cards, taglines and voiceovers, so that it could be shown as merely a presentation of the footage for an upcoming movie, and not as an advert for the movie on behalf of the studio.

That's interesting icarus. I was wondering why there was no credits, but that makes more sense now I think I might just put it in its own catergory, since it's not exactly an advertising trailer

That is right. That trailer is probably the ad you have when you are not having an ad.

The same applies here with the ABC. (Australian Broadcasting Commission) Government regulations might also affect what trailers are shown in the cinema, though I'm not quite sure how. Possibly that might be the explanation why it is the third trailer for VDT which is being shown rather than the most recent one. I guess it also depends on which theatre group owns the cinema you are attending. Those are Hoyts and Greater Union in Australia, plus some other smaller ventures.

These are independent companies who organise what movies are shown here, subject to government licensing arrangements, and are not under control of Warner Brothers, Fox, Universal (forgot what movie it was marketing in the trailer line up - probably the lift murder one), and the rest, that I am aware of.

Oh, ok! Sorry for the misunderstanding - I had gotten confused when you had mentioned the ad for the Catholic boy's school right before.

There were two other educational establishments I could have mentioned as having been advertised with the trailers, but the other Roman Catholic high school is a new co-educational college I am unfamiliar with, and the remaining one was for an unmentionably government funded vocational college.

When you go to the pictures in USA, what sorts of things are advertised on the trailers, anyway? Is it a given that if, say, Fox studios is producing another movie that the VDT trailers would always be shown with that movie? Or is it left to the cinema's own disgression what trailers are shown with which movie?

This is the trailer i saw in front of DH Part 1. I have no idea which number it is, but it was a good trailer and got a good response from the audience.
