Don't trust that smile...Jim Broadbent as Horace Slughorn.
After a fleeting teaser trailer that was hardly worth our attention and empty promises about an official trailer accompanying The Dark Knight, Warner Brothers have finally released the official trailer for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince which is due out on November 21st (UK date). This one should definitely capture the attention, focusing on the young Tom Riddle (aka Voldemort) rather than on Harry. After the hype surrounding the final HP book last year, the public have possibly tired of the young wizard, but this trailer, which is short and snappy, should recapture interest in the franchise. Plus there’s the introduction of Jim Broadbent as Horace Slughorn (an ex professor lured back to teach by Dumbledore) and of course the return of Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange. Natually I don’t expect you to leave my site and go to youtube to watch it so the trailer can be found on your left, Enjoy!

“Half-Blood Prince” is actually my least fave out of the 7 books, but the trailer looks great! I’m definitely looking forward to seeing it because the trailer looks uber-creepy.

yeah I don’t know how closely they’ll be sticking to the book, but it’ll be interesting to see how they adapt it. I think I enjoyed Half Blood Prince alright, but my memory of it is mostly overwritten by Deathly Hallows!

I like this trailer..least it’s kind of getting away from hogwarts and shows a bit more of the outside world…and the past..*evil laugh. It feels weird though to think theres two films left…and yet it’s all over. They should change the ending of hallows film, as a surprise (and horror?) for all the readers…

Imagine if they did that, a nice shock that would be.
