One Kiss, Many Searches
by Mike KrumboltzNov 27, 2006
Harry Potter can cast thousands of spells, but we're more impressed by his ability to generate buzz. Next summer's "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" is already conjuring up searches thanks to a new trailer featuring an amorous Cho Chang (played by Katie Leung).
Potter-philes know Cho as Harry's first love interest. Indeed, their wizardly romance was hinted at in the last film, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." Now a year older, the two are apparently ready to take it to the next level with an actual kiss. Following the trailer's release (which confirmed the smooch), searches on "harry potter trailer," "harry potter 5," and "harry potter cho chang kiss" all boasted magical spikes.
Is it bizarre (or even creepy) that one kiss can stir up so many searches? Perhaps, but remember that Harry Potter ain't your average teenager. All his films have been huge successes, and the anticipation that fuels Potter-mania is only growing stronger. Pretty impressive, eh?
