Apr 17 2009New 'Harry Potter' Trailer: Always Make Time for Magic Sports
There's a new trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and things are getting bleak for Harry, red-haired boy, and the girl. "The darkest hour is upon us all," the narrator claims! But also there's some Quidditch. Always time for a little Quidditch. The darkest hour is here; the black arts are winning; we might all die; still though, let's do that Quidditch tourney. We can squeeze that in. Hogwart's has a great offensive line-up this year!
Get it together, Potter. Oh, and here's the trailer:
Harry is totally going to make it with whoever this girl is.

It's great to see that Golem is still getting work in Hollywood along with the rest of his family.

9. one of the weasleys - April 17, 2009 5:25 PM
as i'm sure everyone knows, that girl is the awesome Jenny Weasley.
And thanks for the spoilers. You know, not EVERYONE has read all 7 books. (Some of us have lives.)
10. one of the weasleys - April 17, 2009 5:26 PM
oh, and the cute guy died on 24! Ha! In your face!
11. Krysten - April 17, 2009 7:02 PM
Um, did I miss out on something. I'm pretty sure the Weasley house has never gotten attacked or caught on fire. Correct me if I'm wrong.
12. Me - April 17, 2009 8:15 PM

13. Nathiest - April 17, 2009 8:16 PM
Dude I think I just filled da cup.
Um.. Whats with the floating chick screaming? And when did Harry and Draco get into an all out fight with each other?
14. Nathiest - April 17, 2009 8:20 PM
@6 um you are actually wrong on that it wasn't Snape it was **************.
15. Bobbillybob - April 17, 2009 8:31 PM
There are no floating chicks, Draco and Harry did not fight and the Wesley's house never got destroyed. I wonder what else did the change?
16. urface - April 17, 2009 9:29 PM
Ummm...Draco and Harry most certainly did get into a fight...read the sixth book again...
17. Mims - April 17, 2009 10:02 PM
Bobbillybob- There is a floating chick. See chapter 12.
18. Dinosaur Rex - April 18, 2009 4:57 AM

What the hell ever.. takes so long to churn out this garbage that they have to change the very formula upon which the "series" was built. Finish watching this movie, then go back and watch the first one. Then, after you've finished and are feeling the sharp pangs of regret, for expending so much energy toward liking this tired franchise.. go hit yourself on the head with a hammer.
20. tihs - April 18, 2009 10:49 AM
.. by the time Harry Potter's little story is finished, you'll be middle-aged and that Rowling lady's estate will have all your money.
21. tihs - April 18, 2009 10:54 AM
Also it turns out that Harry Potter grows old and witnesses the end of the Universe, initiates the buildup of super-dense energy, which causes the Big Bang. Then Megatron comes back and we have to send the younger, hipper Enterprise crew to fight him.
Also, that fat guy from "Knocked Up" and "Superbad" will be there. It's gonna be a Hollywoodtastic extravaganza. Don't fuckin miss it, assholes.
22. anon - April 18, 2009 4:26 PM
I would pay to see that
23. Marissa - April 18, 2009 6:29 PM
@bobbillybob there is a "floating chick" in the book she touches the cursed necklace and floats in Hogsmeade, and they said they added the burrow scene to further hammer in our heads that nowhere is safe. They prob added loads more and left out a ton as well, heard that there is too much romance in this installment
24. Brayden - April 18, 2009 8:02 PM
Marissa, the was truckloads of romance in the book. So theres a consistency.
anywho, looks incredible. i'm actually excited.
25. Lain - April 19, 2009 12:39 AM
Um. The Weasley burning scene was added into the movie, twits. Harry and Draco DO fight and the floating chick is the opal necklace curse....
Seriously.
26. Shlief - April 19, 2009 7:04 AM
i love how the Harry Potter movies keep getting darker and darker, its bad ass. there should be a sex scene in the last one, and a gun fight.
27. lo - April 19, 2009 11:10 AM
actually, draco and harry got into a fight in the bathroom and draco almost killed him so harry did that spell that almost killed draco. the girl was floating because she was posessed because she opened the necklace, if you remember fromt he book. the weasley's? well i have no iddea where that came from
28. Lain - April 19, 2009 1:29 PM
Weasley scene was decided by Warner Brother that it was gonna be added into the film.
29. Hermione - April 19, 2009 1:50 PM
I truly doubt there will be a sex scene in the last one. Although, if the movie follows the books at all, we can expect a few make out scenes in the midst of serious fight scenes.. No joke.
Word of advise. Read the books if you want the story how it was originally meant to be. Movies simply cannot communicate with the same depth that a book can. The movies are always slightly different. So chill out people.
30. Aroinak - April 21, 2009 2:23 PM
No joke, the only thing I remember from that book is when Snape kills Dumbledore (everyone knows, and it's been said multiple times in this comment thread already) and the scene with the lake and the orb thingy and the gollum dudes coming out of the water. That's all I can recollect. These guys sure know how to make a convincing trailer though.
31. Ponyboy3576 - April 22, 2009 11:25 AM
Its Not The Weasleys House Burning... Its Hagrids Hut. At The End When Harry Is Chasing Snape.. It Catches Fire.
32. Mirianna - April 22, 2009 3:44 PM
There is a floating chick!! It's the necklace that Draco bought that made her do that
33. amandak24 - April 23, 2009 4:05 PM
Re: 31.... that's much too tall to be Hagrid's hut. It's definitely the Burrow. Plus, all of the Weasleys are standing around it with Harry, who was chasing the bad guy of the book at the time the Hagrid's was burning. I'm both excited to see new HP material, but also somewhat saddened that for they are so blatantly adding material into this movie.
34. LAHoxie - April 25, 2009 8:18 PM
It wouldn't make any sense for them to add The Burrow burning down since it is somewhat vital in the 7th book. And since logically, if the Burrow burned down the Weasley parents would either be at Fleur and Bill's or Aunt Murial's for the duration of the 7th book, which doesn't make any sense considering that Aunt Murial's is used to as one of the safe transports in The Deathly Hollows, and Shell Cottage is too small, plus where Harry, Ron and Hermione hide out away from Ginny, and Mr. & Mrs. Weasley.
That probably wasn't the Burrow burning anyways, since they just filmed the wedding scene at the burrow for the 7th movie.
35. Doggiewgipser - April 28, 2009 11:57 PM
PEople!!! the house burning is Hagrids hut, a death eater hits it right at the end when Snape is chasing with draco! And it is TOO big because Hagrid has to FIT in it! seriously!!!
36. Enrique - April 30, 2009 9:24 PM
It wasn't luna's house destroyed in the book?
37. SeƱor Pedro - May 2, 2009 11:59 AM

38. Dotty - May 2, 2009 5:13 PM

41. Arioch - May 4, 2009 1:29 AM
I HATE HARRY POTTER. Send the Terminator in.
42. Amy - May 4, 2009 3:50 PM
@ Krysten #11 : ur right, the weasley house never catches fire, but hollywood loves to change everything the author writes in the movies.
43. Kris - June 12, 2009 10:09 PM
1. The floating chick is Katie Bell... She does float because she touched the cursed necklace.
2. Draco and Harry do have a fight in the boy's bathroom. There's where Harry attacks him with the 'Sectumsempra' curse.
3. The Weasley's house doesn't burn.
44. Kristy - June 16, 2009 11:51 AM
I always knew there will be differences from the book to the movie, but in the main trailer for the movie, I couldn't help but get a little emotional. I always had pictures in my mind of what Harry, Ron, and Hermione were going through in Book 6. And many of the shots just made those pictures even more vivid and made my favorite characters even more real. Now that I think about it, I cried when Dumbledore died in the book, so I guess I will be bawling my eyes out when I see the movie.
45. Mandy - July 4, 2009 11:50 AM
Actually 15, if you read the books, there is a floating chick, she gets cursed by touching a cursed necklass on a trip to hogsmeade. Draco and Harry DO fight because Harry walks in on him crying in the bathroom. But you are right, The Burrow never burns down. But check your facts man. Read a bit. Or if you did, you really need to Re-read.
46. ginny - July 10, 2009 8:17 AM
The movies suck these days. First and second were awesome, now-a-days Potters are sooo bad. BECAUSE they ruin the story. For example that Weasley's house. Why does it burn, that's SOOO stupid idea. -.- I don't even get why Rowling let them do that :
47. Patrick - July 11, 2009 5:19 AM
I've had a close look at the trailer and that is definitely the Weasley house burning.
It's stupid for 2 reasons. Firstly it is highly important for the 7th film. Secondly, (in the books) the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore and all that gave the Burrow lots of protective spells so that it couldn't be attacked by death eaters etc. That's why in the 7th book when Rufus Scrimgeour dies and the Ministry of Magic falls the death eaters come and attack the Burrow because it no longer has ministry protection. If it didn't have this protection, Voldemort could've killed the Weasley's whenever he wanted, which is stupid.
Although I'm looking forward to the film, things such as this really annoy me. Appartently they've also cut out Dumbledore's funeral.
