The Harry Potter series had a nice, although inconstant, evolution from the Chris Columbus kid-friendly beginnings. But it always seemed that they wouldn’t dare go the extra mile, even with great directors such as Mike Newell and Alfonso Cuarón. According to this trailer, David Yates (who also directed “The Order of the Phoenix”) switched on n0-bullshit mode and this may finally be the Harry Potter movie adults have been waiting for so long.
When thinking about this series, one has to think that the public has matured with the flow of the story, and with one movie being released every year (this one being a welcome exception), the target audience grew up as wel. And in “The Half-Blood Price” it seems that the shit has really hit the fan. Voldemort invades our world, Dumbledore says that these will be the darkest of times and Harry and his buddies finally face the trials of death, danger, and… Sex?
I don’t know about you people, but I can’t wait to see it.
PS: Special note to the scene where we see Washington getting invaded by evil Wizards. I bet J.K. Rowling had multiple orgasms on that one :-)

Washington?
I don’t see Washington in there. That’s clearly all London. St. Pauls Cathedral does look a bit like the Capitol (or rather vice versa), but the Thames should clearly have given it away :-)
Well, I took another look and now it’s clear what wishful thinking can do to someone’s judgement :-)
Silly of me… Would be cool, though.
