Remember that little Book Trailer competition we launched a few months ago, with our friends at Waterstone's? Remember, we were looking for a minute-long ad to play in UK cinemas, promoting the books?
If you remember that, you may also remember the fact that we chose not one, but TWO winners- Liam Fitzpatrick and Danielle Drew- and combined their ideas to make the Best Thing Ever In The World ™.
Remember all that? Oh I AM glad. Because, drum roll please, the trailer is ready.
The reason that this was a “UK only” competition, and the reason the trailer will only be shown in UK cinemas (take a look on the blog tomorrow and there'll be a list), is simply because Waterstone's UK came to us with the proposal. But does that mean you minions living outside of the UK will never be able to see it? Pfffft. How unfair would THAT be? The fact is, we’re putting it online FIRST so that you, my faithful minions, will be able to devour it like the insatiable little zombie-readers that you are.
You’re going to need a bucket as you watch this, because your brain WILL melt. That’s an official health warning.

2????
WHO'S THE SECOND??
Octa is not here. He got bored with us.
:(
OCTA!! HARRY POTTER!! DO YOU LOVE FRED AND GEORGE?!
awww!
Well tease him anyway...
I think it's a cave.
Hmm...
Why tease him?!
He is honorable if he loves two people from Harry Potter (as long as they are not evil).
@Dragona
NO!
And Octa writes amazing poems
And I've added "Annoying Dragona" to my interests
Hmm...
No. Octaboona is better off placing his affections elsewhere.
Why tease me? I am honorable? But yet they tease me about everything...
Hmm...
No, just the ... and the hair.
and the Hmm...
Yes. You are honorable Dragon...and cute.
They tease me about a LOT more... Octa hasn't even felt a TINY bit of what they tease me about...
sorry...forgot the a in Dragona.
WHO IS THE SECOND PERSON OCTA LIKES FROM HARRY POTTER???
Well....Octaboona is still very new. I've teased him lots since he has been here.
:)
Changed my name.
Ginny and Evanna Lynch...
I spelled Edgley wrong!
@Lunar
Who cares?
Octaboona should not wast his time with them anyways.
:)
What?
I'm not even going to TELL you what they tease ma bout...
*kicks Dragona for bringing up the names*
Grrrrr...
Don't know Evanna lynch
He likes Luna Lovegood?
LOL
Me?
Luna?!
*cuts off own head*
He does Lunar...
I like luna too! She's cool.
Plus her actress is Irish.
*sighs*

No I have not heard that Lunar
EMMA WATSON KNOWS BEST :)
Ginny is good in the books but I don't like her in the movies.
@Tanith
I do too!!!
:D
*sighs*
*sits in corner*
WOW!! THIS IS EPIC!! ... shame the computer doesn't have sound :(
No! FDon't say the actor/actress names! That makes Harry Potter less real! And in my point of view Harry potter is REAL!!
I mean I like the twins and Snape too! I've always felt bad for Snape and thought he was brave to go through what he did.
I like... Harry.. and Draco (AWESOME)...
But most of all...
I LIKE DAMON!!!!!
(From Vampire Diaries)
Why are you in the corner Dragona?
Ok, I gotta go byebye everyone!
(sorry for messing your hair Dragona)
I like Draco too Bye
If I go outside, those volatile snow monkeys will attack me...
If Harry Potter is real, then where's MY Hogwarts letter?
Hmm...
Bye Tanith!
Darn those bad volatile snow monkeys!!!!
BAD MONKEY! BAD!!!!

I ASKED you a question. Now answer it and don't say Hmmm... to me!
*biffs him again just for good measure*
Thanks...
And NOW I go to write.
Solong!
BYE TANITH!
I've just watched the trailer... it was awesome... this computer is really slow...
@ Kallista, Hmm...
That's to bad your computer does not have sound Nicolette. I hope you can get it fixed soon.
:)
FAREWELL, S-MAN!

*leaps at Dragona crazily and gets him in a headlock*
TOLD YOU NOT TO DO THAT!!!!

BUT WHICH ARE MY EYES???
Nicolette, read my fanfic...
AUF WIEDERSEHN NICOLETTE!
*goes to find Nicolette*
*trips over her and falls in the corner*
Ouch. OH! There you are. Down here!
*mind explodes as Dragona says hmmm...again and ignores her*
*Kallista dies*
Hmm...
Oh, look, Dragona, you KILLED Kallita, are you HAPPY NOW?
I've just got a feeling that none of you on here like me, I shoot you, throw you, and protect one of you. What Thrice said the other day about you being happier without me made me feel unwanted, and I know I go on about random crap... sorry...
Don't you DARE say yes...
yep down here
*uses magic yorkshire pudding to bring Kallista back to zombie life*
Hmm...
I'm having a little rant about how my English teacher gave us 5 minutes to solve Einstein's riddle
I don't even know what Einstein's riddle is...
Where has everyone gone?
The question is: "Who owns the fish?"
Hints:
The Brit lives in the red house.
The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
The Dane drinks tea.
The green house is on the left of the white house.
The green house's owner drinks coffee.
The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
The owner of yellow house smokes Dunhill.
The man living in the center house drinks milk.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The man who smokes blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
The man who keeps horses lives next to the one who smokes Dunhill.
The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer.
The German smokes Prince.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.
THIS is Einstein's riddle
He said only 2% of the population would be able to solve it without guessing
No one owns a fish...
Dragona, somebody DOES own the fish...
I just have no idea who it is...
No one owns the fish?
Hmm...
That's what everyone guesses....
Dragona....that makes me cry to think you feel that way. :(
All of us like you here. I've told that to you before. Why don't you believe me?
Hey people.
WHO OWN'S THE FISH?!
*breaks down in confusion*
The German?
*Kallista's tiny brain explodes at the riddle*
I'm just depressed Kallista, just ignore me, I'm not here... I've blown up or something... I just get the feeling SOME of you don't...
The German..
Hi Darkane!
Hi Darkane...
I say the German because were going to a german market tommorow .
