Goblet of Fire Teaser Trailer Released
bryan8m writes "The teaser trailer for the next installment of the Harry Potter series has hit the web. The clip begins with a bit of a flashback but quickly turns to the triwizard tournament with some amazing visuals. And there is new director (again): Mike Newell."
That's for little kids. WTF?
Harry Potter is not exactly news or entertainment for nerds
But we all know the over 12s only goto see Emma Watson in hope of a pantie shot. It's like going to see the new Star wars films just to see Padame...
I like muppets.
Not only is this old, but it hardly seems fitting for the /. main page. I realize the books are much-loved and all, but let's be serious. Do we really need Slashdot pimping movie trailers? I'm sure a good majority of us hit apple.com/movies often enough anyway. I prefer /. to report on cool tech stuff, not hollywood bullshit.
P.S. Sorry for the flamebait post.
swanker than you
RE: YOUR kink, whatever it may be, is just fine and good. MY kink, however, is sick and twisted and disgusting.
I don't particularly care what anyone's kink is. I'm opposed to people who molest kids, molest the handicapped (e.g. non consensual) or comatose, rape, or do other things in which they take advantage of immaturity, insecurity, etc. or outright abuse the other person. I have a problem with date rape drugs or people who get others smashed to take advantage of them.
RE: I would point out to you that the age of consent in much of the world is 14, not 18, as you seem to believe.
I don't care what other people in other parts of the world do. In other parts of the world they do female genital mutilation or send their children out to be suicide bombers. I care about what people in a normal, sane, mature and decent society do.
REL I find this entire concept of "age of consent" somewhat tenuous, at best. It seems to imply that there is an age at which one magically is able to make intelligent, rational decisions about their own body and their sexuality,
Much of our law has that concept in mind. You can't drive at 16. Heck, there are people in their 20s who shouldn't be behind the wheel of a car. But that's no excuse to lower the driving age to 8.
RE: rational decisions... and plenty of 12 year olds who are. People mature at different ages. Get over it.
I seem to remember Alanis Morrissette deeply regretting her relationships with adult men. Back when she was 12-15 she thought herself mature, cool, urbane, sophisticated, in charge, etc. Now she realised she was being used, and wished she'd known better. Many 12-15 year olds think they know everything, but they don't - which is EXACTLY why there's laws preventing their exploitation by adults.
RE: And this post is courtesy of a 49-year-old married man with kids of my own, but, unlike you, with a rational view of human sexuality.
So you've no problem with sex with children, and you have kids? Wow. I don't know what more to say.
RE: So much for your idea that anyone who thinks such things are OK must have problems with adult relationships.
I have no idea what your relationships are like. Hey, does your wife know you're into kids?
RE: As a libertarian, I believe it's no business of the State to get involved with anything two people do consentually in private.
And as a rational, sane, decent human being I posit to you that certain things, like driving a car, sex, and voting should be deferred to a certain age and maturity. There's evidence that sex at younger ages cause greater risk for cervical cancer - as in, the female body needs some time to mature before it's ready for certain things.

Where'd you get the fifth book? It's not due for release for about a month yet.
He's not thinking of the 39 year old seducing his 12 year old daughter, who of course, thinks she knows it all, etc. and naturally when she gets pregnant at 13 and "Chevy" takes off to find a younger woman and it's the poster who gets saddled with the bills (cause tho the 13 year old's parts all work, she can't drive the kid to the doctor's and is still at least seven years away from enough schooling to realistically support herself never mind a kid) ...
He's more likely to be secretly wishing his 12 year old daughter would bring her friends home. And that's wrong.
