By the time we are all catching our breaths in the afterglow of this summer’s blockbuster rampage (and potential rollercoaster if some of those anticipated flicks fail) the media buzz will be once again bringing us into the Christmas season with all things Harry Potter.
Warner Bros. Pictures has provided ComingSoon.net with new photos from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, coming to theaters and IMAX on November 21, 2008. Directed by David Yates from a script by Steven Kloves, the sixth installment stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson
I have to say that this series is in part a little magical to me. No pun intended.
When I see the three of those actors sitting together in that mystical ancient castle I get totally sucked in. Yeah, its for kids. You need about a grade 5 reading level to get through the books, but I am absorbed in the series. Its a shame its over, but I understand why. (And you Potter zealots can leave the “she will write another one!” chants alone. I will believe it if I see it)
So now all I have to look forward to is the movies so I can relive the stories on the big screen instead. The pictures don’t say much, but so far its looking good. Most of the Half Blood Prince story revolves around revealing the whole story of Voldemort. I kind of wish she hadn’t written this story. Not because I didn’t want to know, but it would have given a wide open door for a prequel. The story of Lilly and James Potter? That would have been cool. But this story wipes out the need for that, and the last book eliminates any need of a followup story.
Half Blood Prince was my favourite book until I got into the real meaty climactic action of the Deathly Hallows, so its all ramping up excitement for me.

Maybe it’s just me but I’m beginning to lose interest in the entire franchise. The first movie was great, the second is probably my least favorite, 3rd is my favorite, 4th was good, but the 5th was crap I thought and I have lost almost all interest in the remaining Potter sequels. Maybe with Kloves back on the script the series can recover, but I’m not holding out much hope.
The only movie you have been looking forward to?
The the lineup of films slated for this year I find that THIS would be the only one worth your attention. Just sayin.
I’m counting the days until this movie comes out. Actually, this is probably the only movie Ive looked forward to so far this year. Half-Blood Prince was an excellent book and yes I’m sure it most likely will not do the book justice but either way its gonna be good.
Technically there are 3 more movies (including HBP) because they are filming Deathly Hallows as two movies.
I can’t wait for the HP and the Half-Blood Prince! It’s just sad though that there are only two more movies left (including Half-Blood Prince). But at least there’s still two more, yey!
damn these kids are in desperate need of some new headshots. They’re faces are completely changing. Look at the bully kid. His whole face has been completely restructured by age. It’s inSANE! And Radcliff has facial hair! DAMN! How old are they now?!
Only a douchebag thinks that reading a synopsis on a wiki makes you ahead of someone who actually read the whole series.
That would be arrogant indeed.
This is one of the few instances where I say I *didn’t* get the book, but love the movies.
Which movie last year did not throw trailers til the last possible minute? Was it X-men 3? The movie was bad bad baaaaad but I have faith in the Potter franchise.
oh and about the trailer….dous harry potter really need a trailer…just throw up a black screen with the release date…people will still flock to it haha
i like the movies but the thing that i hate is how some of my younger friends…say 25 ish have read a few of the books and now they think there just so far ahead of the game blah blah blah and they act like they are special cause the read it haha…so in return i tell them about the 5th grade reading level of the book and let thim in on a secret called wiki….haha i was like i just learned what happened in all the books in like 10 min and i didnt have to make my self seem retarded by glouting how i read a fricken childs book….hey maybe now these same douchebags will go read a james n the giant peach or maybe where the wild things are! hahah arrogant pricks haha.
His hair is back!!!!!!
I’m excited to see this! OoTP is my favorite but HBP is a close second. I think the Deathly Hallows two part movie will probably be amazing!
Kristina, with all the flood of the summer blockbusters a trailer wouldnt even get noticed yet. I am sure we will see one really soon.
There are teasers and sneak peeks at:

I am eagerly waiting to see this movie in the big screen.

Half Blood Prince is probably my favorite HP book along with Prisoner from Azkaban. Hope it’s good.
This comes out in four months and they haven’t even released a trailer yet. Whazzup wit dat?
