And it’s here! The 3rd trailer for HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE has been released by WB via AOL Moviefone. Intense, thrilling, are some of the words that come to my mind as I watch this dark, gloomy yet fast-paced trailer. I’ve never read the book but now I can kinda guess Draco is slowly becoming Harry’s nemesis. Helena Bonham Carter with her horrific laugh, prancing like a mad woman on the dining table is a pretty funny sight to see.
The only mistake is.. the trailer still shows July 17th as its release date when it’s actually been changed to July 15th.
“Fight back you coward, fight back!”
Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn’t counted on Romilda Vane’s chocolates! And then there’s Hermione, simpering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.
HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE opens July 15th, 2009
