Warner Bros has released an international trailer for Harry Potter and the Half Blood-Prince. The trailer’s voice-over claims that the film will come out “This Year” which leads me to believe that the trailer was created before the release date push to July 17th 2009. One thing is for sure, the marketing people at Warner Bros sure know how to cut together a trailer. I don’t think I’ve seen a bad Potter trailer yet. Watch the international trailer for Half-Blood Prince below, and tell me what you think in the comments.

    First of all, who makes the decisions behind the diffirences of an American trailer and an international trailer?
  • Peter Chen
    Peter Chen does, that's who.
  • Rhys
    WOW
    its so fucking cool to hear Don LaFontaine do a voice over for this.
    trailer looks good and i seriously hope they dont fuck it up.
    stoked for july 2009

    I don't think that was Don LaFontaine. I think it was PETER. CHEN.

    :But I Am The Chosen One"
    Slick

    The best part was the end. I hope the movie's full of those moments between the cast. They're the real reason I care to watch now since the books no longer interest me. And this movie would have been better to release this year... because... I say so.

    cool WB. way to pull a fast one on us. seriously rub it in our faces why don't cha that Harry Potter isn't coming out this year.
  • dave
    hermione looks better and better every year. why hasnt anyone hacked her phone for naughty pics? who cares about hanna montana?
  • Julien
    Harry Potter is one of those few franchises that gets better with each installment. It looks like Hermione calmed down on her crazy eyebrow acting in the pass two movies
  • Jeff
    Cool trailer. As I have always said when it comes to the Potter films, the book purists can fuck off.
  • emily
    I don't remember half of that stuff in the book. Since when was there so much fire?? I guess I have some re-reading to do in the distant future. Damn WB for pushing back a perfectly finished film.

    awesome trailer as always... little surprised they put in a hermoine/ron kiss in there, i thought that'd be left to see in the theater... love the tone, its about time they totally took the childishness out of the series... the little quips are fun, but they need to make these movies more adult and this looks like the right direction

    kudos wb!
  • looks amazing.
  • Just makes me even more pissed off it's been moved to next summer.
  • Sweet sweetness.
  • conan8
    That's not Hermoine kissing Ron
  • Steve
    by this year they probably mean this year at hogwarts, y'know?
  • Mr. B
    Rowling writes humor better than anything else. And I'm glad they've picked up on that in the more recent films.
  • Erm, the voiceover typically bellows "THIS YEAR..." (So sick of hearing that in trailers, btw.) And in THIS case, its completely wrong. What a joke.
  • Nadir
    BTW SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE!!!

    To the people complaining about it saying "this year", this was actually supposed to be released in January/February, hence why the trailer hasn't been uploaded on the official UK site yet. Someone leaked this, this is not a official release of the trailer. So we most likely won't see the domestic teaser #2 until that time frame next year, unless WB decides to go ahead and release it because of this one being leaked. Besides, you can tell they barely even touched up on the effects work and lighting.

    But anyway, yeah, that trailer is absolutely fantastic.
  • It's not actually the Hermione/Ron kiss. It's the Lavendar/Ron face-sucking. Now, I'm not a book purist by any means, but it they changed THAT ...

    dear god in heaven...where the fuck did that badass piece of 2 minute cinema come from?!?! i started laughing my ass off because it was so completely fucking gripping. now, i love both the books and the films, and i actually loved OOTP, even though it took liberties - but that's the nature of the beast. HBP just looks raw as fuck. cannot wait, in fact i don't mind waiting at all.

    i hope rowling gives us a series of harry & ron's adventures as aurer's (sp?). that whole world of 'wizard detective' is begging to be explored. then she could take another break, and finally when we're all grey, she could bring us the end of potter & co. it could be very epic & beautiful.
  • orange cinema
    and yes, its not the hermoine & ron kiss, its the lavender one. but the two will hook up in this one i believe...don't they dump their respective others - lav & victor krumb - then finally get together?)

    also, that girl is absolutely stunning. i'm so glad she's finally 18...she is right?
