Half-Blood Prince teaser to be with The Mummy?
Half-Blood Prince teaser to be with The Mummy? Yes, the other day we did tell you that a few of those who work at movie theaters heard about the Half-Blood Prince teaser trailer premiering with The Dark Knight.

Now though, we're hearing a new teaser trailer rumor. Two people within movie theaters have heard stories about the trailer coming with The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor on August 1st.

According to MuggleNet reader Kathleen, Universal pushed to have the Half-Blood Prince teaser trailer in front of Mummy to give a little boost to ticket sales. The teaser poster will be coming a week afterward. MuggleNet reader Michele tells us that her manager spoke with Warner Brothers, who told them that the trailer is to run in front of Mummy and not The Dark Knight.

Again, keep this in the rumor category for now. All of these Half-Blood Prince pictures lately is certainly a good sign of bigger things to come. As always, we'll keep you updated!

wtf?!!


Posted by sevviesnapples Jul 3rd 2008

....WHUT?!


Posted by xoxoshannonxoxo Jul 3rd 2008

I wanted it to be with Dark Knight, but if this means we get it sooner then, YAY! :-)


Posted by ginnyhermioneluna26 Jul 3rd 2008

OMG....This is just making me want more....I normally come home and check mugglenet and now I'm checking it from work..It's quite pathetic...Can't wait for the movie!!!!!


Posted by alex_c98 Jul 3rd 2008

Urgh... I don't wan't to watch the Mummy. I was really excited for it to be with TDK 'cause that would be a double treat. :/


Posted by up2nogood Jul 3rd 2008

NNNOOOOOO! Maybe it'll be in both?


Posted by pacifickay Jul 3rd 2008

It *could* be with both movies. It could debut with Dark Knight and then show with the Mummy as well. Maybe that's too optimistic, but there are instances (rare or not) where the same trailer is in multiple movies. ...or maybe I'm in just denial because I'm really banking on it being with Dark Knight!


Posted by 62442MAGIC Jul 3rd 2008

This better NOT be the case! I do NOT want to spend my money to watch the Mummy. UGHHH. C'mon WB! PLEASE LET IT COME W/ THE DARK NIGHT!


Posted by JKFan5 Jul 3rd 2008

thats so stupid just cuz the mummy 3 sucks they have to push the teaser on it to get it sales? frikken dumb as ****


Posted by Hedwig8 Jul 3rd 2008

What!?! I haven't even heard of this movie. They have made us wait long enough, I don't think I can stand it if we have to wait 'til August! Come on WB! Enough already!!!! But maybe they will show it with both movies.


Posted by rhj2816 Jul 3rd 2008

IF THEY WAIT UNTIL AUGUST TO RELEASE THE TEASER TRAILER I WILL HURT SOMEONE. it better be a freaking amazing trailer.


Posted by konstantine Jul 3rd 2008

ugh, i have no desire to see that movie. at least if it's with tdk i wouldn't be wasting $10. if it's not with tdk i'm just going to watch the preview on youtube :P


Posted by ginnyhermioneluna26 Jul 3rd 2008

C'mon... This is just the release of the preview...After the first one comes out it will be every where.... I for one would pay to watch the Mummy if it meant a preview of HBP even though I would much rather see Dark Night


Posted by The_Snitch Jul 3rd 2008

Maaaan......hurry it up!! What a drag out this has been waiting for this trailer....I dont really care what its with, soon enough it will be with a heap of other movies too so just get it out already!


Posted by GIngERnuTs_RoX Jul 3rd 2008

ARGHHH! Im angry enough to yell at a cute happy puppy already today, this does not help *bangs head* stupid stupid stupid!!!!


Posted by 62442MAGIC Jul 3rd 2008

Oh....and i forgot to mention what the DATE WOULD BE. AUG. 1ST! seriously, i don't think i could wait that long!


Posted by Radishes127 Jul 3rd 2008

UGH I didn't even KNOW that there was a movie called the mummy.... this sucks T.T


Posted by expectogirl Jul 3rd 2008

I may be totally wrong but isn't it the norm that BIG trailers are shown with the same production company-so why would Warner Bros put HBP in front of a Universal film? Maybe I'm talking crazy but I figured a big trailer such as HP would be in front of a WB movie (?) Please comment if I'm wrong:)


Posted by SCPGOH_ad24 Jul 3rd 2008

honestly, whats the point of having a teaser trailer anymore? if they are going to release it so late they might as well release the entire trailer. i really hope this teaser trailer is longer than a minute...


Posted by rob1007 Jul 3rd 2008

NO! NO! NO! please be with dark knight! now THE MUMMY! NO!


Posted by Kreacher_FTW Jul 3rd 2008

The Dark Knight is the only movie coming out soon that I deem worthy of HBP's trailer. If it debuted with the Mummy, Space Chimps or whatever, I would feel like Harry Potter had been defiled.


Posted by hpintwense06 Jul 3rd 2008

UGHHH! WHAT???? THE MUMMY? I would not go to see that movie even if it did have the HBP trailer in front of it! I would have gone to see The Dark Knight for it, though... which I may still see anyways. Hopefully this is just a really bad rumor... & August 1st?? Umm... yeah then there would only be 3 months until the movie actually comes out! What would be the point of a teaser trailer at that point? Wouldn't we normally have a full trailer at that point in the past?


Posted by superfish31 Jul 3rd 2008

That sounds false. Why would they wait for AUGUST?! That's two months away from the movie! It sounds almost impossible. I'm betting on Dark Knight still because, come on, NO ONE was speculation on wether or not it would be with The Mummy. I say; RUMOR. :) I'm still stoked that there's so much news, though.


Posted by tamales2222 Jul 3rd 2008

It doesn't make any sense! They are just torturing us! Thats all there is to it!


Posted by Rowena_R Jul 3rd 2008

are you kidding?? august! no way!!


Posted by Lorcan_Patrick_McCarthy Jul 3rd 2008

Makes absolutely no sense to put it with a competitor's movie! WB would not do that. They know a lot of HP fans will go to see Dark Knight because they got the extra push of the teaser trailer. I was only thinking of going to see it, but I want to now that I think HBP will be in it. They're not going to boost their competitor's sales.........BUT, isn't Universal in charge of the HP theme park??? Could make some sense then, but...I doubt it.


Posted by hpninjaskills Jul 3rd 2008

Oh my ^#$%@#^&#@% GOD! Are you serious? This is ... I can't even .... Universal asked for that? What BS! *censored, censored, censored* I'm so .... I can't even find the right words to express how I feel! AUGUST 1ST?! I CAN'T EVEN WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW! HOW DO THEY EXPECT US FANS TO WAIT UNTIL AUGUST! All I know is that IF the teaser is released in August, that teaser BETTER be the REAL trailer!


Posted by superfish31 Jul 3rd 2008

I made my last comment before I read the others, but now that I did, I'm going to have to agree. If this IS true, the HBP trailer would show with Dark Knight first. I also agree with whoever said that TDK is the only worthy movie of the HPB trailer.


Posted by ScarfGirl Jul 3rd 2008

THAT WILL BE TWO MONTHS UNTIL RELEASE DATE I will /Kill/ WB! That had soooo better not be true. How long after that will we get our real trailer?????? I mean, Twilight's been out for OVER A MONTH and the movie comes out A MONTH later!!!!!!! I'm gonna b SOOOOO PISSED if that happens!!!! ****!!!!


Posted by YeahImThatGuy17 Jul 3rd 2008

This is all getting a bit ridiculous...just release the trailer already. What's with the wait?


Posted by soof Jul 3rd 2008

NO! I don't want to wait until August! We've allready waited long enough... But whatever. This is getting pathetic. WB just needs to release a statement or the trailer... But we're getting good pictures now, so that's a good sign.


Posted by hpninjaskills Jul 3rd 2008

I`m freaking p/o`d. If WB doesn`t give us OFFICIAL word of when the trailer comes out, I swear to a flickin' banshee, I'm going to kick everyone & everything I see. - Except for my HP books & movies & Driving Lessons DVD :) This is getting ridiculous. Everyday we pray for the trailer, everday we get a new golly gee rumor about the trailer. Seriously, they`re slowly torturing us & I`m getting sick of it!


Posted by superfish31 Jul 3rd 2008

I'm so sorry for being off topic, but I have to get this off my chest: Are there any cheesecakians here? Any vetereans (sirius_lee or dan?). Sorry, but I just have to know if we've died out or not. XD


Posted by kasbrina Jul 3rd 2008

NOOOOO! I hate rumors I get too excited! UGH!! JUST TELL US WB!!!!! *angst*


Posted by Ticklishpear14 Jul 3rd 2008

grrrr excuse me while i go pull my hair out. this is getting ridiculous, we're all going on this huge rollercoaster ride. first, i wrote in my calendar that hbp came out on the 21st Nov then i had to move it back to the 27th and now i have to move it to dec 11th! Then i wrote a countdown for TDK and now the teaser's not even with it! my whole countdown has been screwed up now. that should be on your conscience forever WB.


Posted by ClintonDickinson Jul 3rd 2008

Well, I want to see both The Dark Knight, and The Mummy, so it's not a big deal in that sense. However, I don't want to have to wait until August now, I mean JEEZ, waiting for July 23 is hard enough!


Posted by Rose37 Jul 3rd 2008

I see that a good news must come to an end!!! O,well!!! The mummy movie needs all the help it can recieve to be even close to money making conpared to The Dark Knight movie, that alone with no help could easy beat the Mummy!!!


Posted by Vman12 Jul 3rd 2008

I doubt they would put up the teaser trailer three months from the release, maybe the teaser is till with TDK and the official trailer is with TM:TDE.


Posted by rob1007 Jul 3rd 2008

superfish! heyyy its rob!


Posted by felixfelicis888 Jul 3rd 2008

superfish31, the cheesecakian group disbanded, but a large amount of us are in a new group. Anyway, the trailer must come out with dark knight!!!!


Posted by hpninjaskills Jul 3rd 2008

Rose37 - Wow. You're like ... really cool about this. Haha. That's cool that you could ever be like that. I, however, could never. x) This is ridiculous news, and I'm very fed up with WB at this point. We just need an official statement from them. Seriously. Rumor after rumor! I'm so sick of it. It better be with TDK - I don't have enough patience inside me! &+ I'm already going crazy; does WB REALLY want me to check into a mental institution!?


Posted by moonshine Jul 3rd 2008

yes, superfish-- what felix says is true! im still here too lol!


Posted by Morgan212324 Jul 3rd 2008

ugh i hope its with dark night, that looks AWESOME. and the mummy looks stupid. but how do you get the countdown on your desktop???!


Posted by kaj9201 Jul 3rd 2008

WTF!? They need to put it with a good movie like the Dark Knight! NOT with a stupid one like the mummy! I am so mad.


Posted by diher Jul 3rd 2008

you know now with all the pix we've seen we're just better off with out the darn trailer it's pretty much going to be all the pictures we've seen but as a sceen so personally I'm not even going to count on seeing the trailer with dark night or mummy we're just petter off with out a trailer


Posted by superfish31 Jul 3rd 2008

XD WOW! You guys, I saw your screen names and I was like OMG I LOVE MAD EYE MOODY! Hahaha. Summer 07... good times. ;)


Posted by sirlupton Jul 3rd 2008

ive been waiting for the trailer for so long i cant wait till august! and i would see the dark knight for sure anyways so they cannot have it play with the mummy cus that movie is going to suck!


Posted by felixfelicis888 Jul 3rd 2008

superfish31 you want to talk in a lower post? So we don't get in the way? Go to the second to last post.


Posted by nickypotter Jul 3rd 2008

Posted by prattdaddy2008 Jul 3rd 2008

So I work for a movie theater company and we have an employee news letter . While searching the news letter I found the teaser poster for HBP its really small though it shows harry and dumbledors silhouettes in a cave. It is advertising for the IMAX movie. I will try to send it in but im trying to do so without giving out the website. As it is only for employees i cant give out the site to everyone!!!! :( So as soon as I can send it to someone that works here without reveling the site everyone will be able to see it.
