USA Today released a new batch of photos from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Warner Bros has sent us high resolution versions of the photos, which you can check out below. As always, click to enlarge.

The article also hints that the upcoming films might stray a little from the books. The idea presented is that the book series is already complete, and everyone (even many of those who didn’t read the final book) already knows how everything ends. So the films will take on different focuses than you might be expecting. I’s guessing that it won’t be anything too drastically different, but it sure will be interesting.

And the last two photos come from MSN Cine, via Blogwartz

    For a second I thought I saw Rob Cordry in there. Interesting info too.
  • dvq
    i stopped watching this bullshit saga at the third one.
  • Jack Potter
    i think you should be murdered for this unbelievable ridiculous remark you should be ashamed
  • EVGNick
    I'll be there for this one.
    Makes me wonder, though... How far will they REALLY differ from the books... as Peter reported.
  • Felton's looking eviler-er than ever. And Jim Broadbent...perfect casting!
  • Quenfis
    Well, even in Goblet of Fire you had a deviation from the book. But, that was more to keep away from the Elf situations. These movies are still very entertaining and visually stunning. I'm a big fan and can't wait for the last (split in two) movie.
  • Captain Awesome
    So is Emma Watson naked in this one? Because I've watched every one and have been dissapointed every time.
  • Jeff
    No more Quidditch! It's a waste of screen time.
  • fredex
    According to an interview with JK Rowling from a while back the reason she did her deal with Warner Bros was because, as well as the money, they promised that the movies would remain loyal to the story line of the books. Certain features can be changed but the final two movies will have to stay loyal to the major events of the final book (deaths and all).

    I'm beginning to think Daniel Radcliff will have grey hair by the last installment.
  • orange cinema
    i frickin love the potter films, and am sooooo glad they moved away from the chris columbus bullshit in the first 2. Cuaron should be credited as the catalyst for this series.
  • StarBlazer101
    @ Jeff
    screw you!!!!!!!! quidditch is the reason why i watch these movies >.<
  • Potter films<Potter books<Emma Watson
  • Chris
    Me<Emma Watson

    Other way around is cool too, though.
  • Liz
    Hmm. Still no pictures of Snape, huh? That's odd, considering...hmm...I won't spoil it.

    Who am I kidding? This is the internet. There are no spoiler-free zones. But, it's odd, isn't it?
  • BATGIRL
    i am so excited for this movie.
    i love harry potter.
    half-blood prince is my third favorite book (after prisoner an hallows)
    i really hope this movie is good esspecially since it's such an imortant lead up to deathly hallows.

    HP is a million times better than twilight too; this movie will blow it out of the water.
    i've read all three of the twlight books too (and the host) so i know what i'm talking about.
    stephenie meyer can't write for shit.
  • samuel
    yes they do
  • zsasz
    cant wait for this..my fav book..so dark.

    @dvq - then why the hell did you click a link to take you here you cretin.
  • Will
    I read the books tell 3 and loved them, 3 the most. After the 2nd movie they all suck my sweaty monkey balls.
  • PP
    I can not wait for the next film! Long live Harry Potter!!
  • Katie
    the movies depict the books so inaccurately and generally it makes me sick, i can't believe JK Rowling approves this garbage.
  • James Dean
    OUtstanding, I can hardly wait.

    I like you harry potter & i hate malfoy
  • Brandon
    word around is that this movie split into two halfs. due to lack of information and cutting out of all the other books, and plus how long the book was, this is cut into two films for how they plan to release it. :/ enjoy lol
  • Lucy
    The Harry Potter books were fantastic. JK Rowling is a genious. The movies are very good also and are an artform all their own. Although they do not follow the books to the letter, that provides a nice surprise when you see the movie. It is one of the reasons I like the movies, to see what they changed, because it would be boring to see the exact same story you have already read. Your imagination is always better than anything they can put on film.

    I just want to say that both the books and the films are brilliant. I think that in order to fully appreciate both you just have to look at them separately as a book and a film and not as complete adaptations of each other. They are all amazing.
  • duca
    @Brandon it's not this movie that they're splitting in half but the one based off of the final novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

    Jeezalaweez! You are Picky if you think the Potter Movies are bad! Did you ever read Eragon? The best way to describe the movie would be to take the book, shove it into a blender, add some fresh poo, blend it, then only poor a third of it out. Worst book gone movie EVER! Although I don't like what this new director is doing with the 6th one, either... (he even talks about how harry and ginny "almost kiss" but then the bloody death eaters come) What the french toast?!!! I don't remember that at all! The only thing I remember is Harry kissing ginny after they had won the quiditch cup. The new director is, on the other hand, making it a very good movie for some one to watch who has only watched the movies... so i suppose i will just shut my mouth and enjoy the movie when it rolls around...

    ... By the way, is anyone else excited about the wizarding world of harry potter at Universal's Islands of Adventure? It opens late 2009 and I am sooo excited!
  • Meli
    Yay, another handful of pictures!!! =/
    So the movie will deviate from the books a bit?? Well, there's a
    shocker. The books and movies are and always have been two
    different ways of telling the story. I really enjoy the movies and
    do my best to put the books into the back of my mind whenever
    I sit down to watch a new one. I'm looking forward to this next
    one and I'm glad to see they're going to go with the Ron playing
    Quidditch in this movie.
  • LUPITA

    Well every one has an opinion, on harry potter, some people think its evil, and others think its just plain cute.

    I personally love harry potter, its wonderful. I will go and see the movie too. And get the CD, And DVD of it. I do have some of the books on audio, and all the movies on DVD.

    I hope JK Rowlings does write some more books like this.
