The trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has hit the interwebs. It looks like we’re in for a very different Harry Potter movie than we’re use to. Dark and ominous, the trailer focuses on the origin story of Tom Riddle, who grows up to become Lord Voldermort. Tell me what you think in the comments below!

    The trailer looks great, but I am so disappointed that Warner Bros has now pushed the release date to July 19th, 2009. Greedy corporate pigs.

    I think MIchael Gambon is a much better Dumbledore, he's much more lively and invincible like. I just don't understand why he isn't wearing the trademark half moon spectacles, if anyone can tell me why that would be super! And the young Tom Riddle is awesome. I love the smirk he makes when Dumbledore lights the wardrobe on fire....creepy!
  • Navin
    My expectations are really low for this film after reading all the alterations that are being made, so if it indeed turns out as bad as the order did i wont be as disappointed.

    That's a shot from an attack on the Burrow, a scene written for the movie. Bellatrix, Greyback, and a few other Death Eaters show up and cause trouble.
  • Dana
    What was the part with Ginny losing her wand in the swamp like area? I can't for the life of me connect that to the book?
  • andy
    sweeeeet.

    It looks pretty dark, but I'll have to watch all the other Potter films I didn't watch in order to enjoy this one.

    ehhhh, I've got to pull out my Blockbuster membership card...
  • Blibis

    Meh.

    These movies have always brought out the child in me. I can't wait for this movie. It's just good movie fun. Each movie has dragged me in. It's too bad they can't fit all of the books goodness into the films. I'm glad that Hallows will be two movies.
  • Linda
    It makes you wonder if Tom was destined for evil or if his circumstance made him so. Even the most horrible criminals were innocent? children once. It looks great and dark as the book was. Each movie gets darker as they get older and can deal with it better. It really makes sense, if you think about it.
  • Yeah, I just caught that. Fenrir Greyback shows up from 1:02 to 1:03 in the trailer. You have to pause to actually get a decent look at him.
  • B
    @ Jimmy:
    greyback? where was he in the trailer? i didnt catch that. *goes back 2 watch trailer for the hundreth time*
  • Chris
    M'gonna sound like I'm echoing some of the people here already but I agree; looks pretty good.

    Much better, that's for sure.
  • Matt
    I actually thought Order of the Phoenix was one of the best films of last year, and easily the best Harry Potter film so far. It was so much more intense and their was a real sense of danger, the only other one to do that was Prisoner of Azkaban.

    Goblet of Fire SUCKED major. They cut so much out. At least OOTP couldn't help that because the book is nearly 800 pages.

    Anyway, trailer looks awesome. It has kept the dark tone of the 5th movie and will turn one of the best books in the series into hopefully a great film. Lets hope Yates can still perform just as well for the first and second installments of Deathly Hallows.
  • A.J.
    Wow. I like my harry potter movies like I like my coffee...Dark and fucking awesome! Can't wait. other than the deathly hallows this was my favorite, should be fun.
  • A nice glimpse of Fenrir Greyback, the child-eating werewolf crony of Voldemort.
  • B
    Dumbledore = Gandalf??

    With seriousness, as awesome as Richard Harris was, I like Michael Gambon much better. &this trailer looks amazing, maybe they'll actually make fans happy with this one. This book had so many awesome things it, I can't wait to see what they do.
  • Chimaera
    Wow, just saw it in all its HD glory. I'm actually stoked to see this...I feel like I'm finally waking up from the awesome dream that is TDK, lol. I almost forgot that there are other movies to see :P
  • Meli
    I happen to like both actors who have played Dumbledore. The only thing that bothers me about Michael Gambon's version is
    he doesn't wear the half-moon glasses. Yes, it is a terribly small
    thing, but it is so often referred to in the book that it feels like they are part of the character's personality.
  • Meli
    Let the countdown begin!!! I absolutely loved this trailer. So glad
    it's finally here and I that it was some disappointing little tid bit
    of audio. lol
  • Iron Matt
    I'm sorry but Richard Harris doesn't hold a candle to Michael Gambon.
  • What do I think?

    Is it November yet?
  • BB
    Looks promising. I'm a little bit sick of dark evil children, but whatever. Focusing on Voldemort's origin has a lot of potential. (Especially his mom's creepy family).
  • Max
    @orange: Thanks for clarifying. Can't wait for this movie thought the trailer looked wicked.
  • orange cinema
    @ max

    no, deathly hallows is being split into 2 films.
  • orange cinema
    -no disrespect meant to the departed - but new dumbledore is far better than the very kid-friendly old one. his mannerisms and vocal work drive home the dumbledore reveal that rowling made after deathly hallows. he's dumbledore the way mckellan is gandalf.

    -these films have really hit their stride. and when introducing evil at a young age, THIS is how you do it (ahem, phantom menace anakin was a joke, ahem).
  • Max
    This is the movie that's being split into 2 right? Does anyone know at what point in the book they will split?
  • TheDaftPunk
    Order of the Phoenix was such a let down, I'll probably never forgive David Yates for that. I'm impressed with what I've seen, but still so so angry.
  • Vobe
    This movie is gonna fucken rock! yeah!
  • Adam B.
    @ DAN:

    why does it make you mad?
    nothing else they could really do since Richard Harris passed away.
    should they have just stopped making them after CoS?
  • O
    @Dan

    The new Dumbledore wasn't great for me either...until the last one. I think with this one he'll make it all okay.

    Plus, I can't imagine Harris doing those physical scenes. He was amazing, though.
  • DAN
    Smokin hot...

    But new Dumbledore still makes me mad
  • Dan Berry
    I love the younger Tom. The cinematography looks better. The atmosphere is actually frightening. It seems that all the good things from number 5 are going to be amplified. I hope they don't hold back and make it brutal.
  • Adam B.
    @ hwplainview, here's some 1080 goodness :D

  • kevin
    allllot better than expected in a long series
  • Iron Matt
    That trailer almost made me forget that the sixth book was 90% whiny teen bullshit and 10% good. There may be hope for this movie yet.
  • Superman
    Surprisingly that didn't look like shit.
  • hwplainview
    Looks awesome, I hope there's a big hd trailer uploaded soon, unless there has been already? anyone?
  • Garko
    Im not even a HP fan, but that was a pretty kickass teaser...it has me interested
  • colecovision
    This one might make me (and everyone else not interested in Harry Potter) go and watch the whole series...looks like a winner!
  • Marvin
    My favorite book, Tom Riddle's story and the end should be great.
  • WhYSosERioUs
    Looks good. Nothing special though.
