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!

Oh I forgot its NOT the same poster that mugglenet reported about in may!!! Just to silence anyone who was going to say that


Posted by iam_Luna Jul 4th 2008

could it be in front of both? I think the twilight trailer was in front of Indian Jones and Sex and the City

Oh. Yay. :D


Posted by hkxhsx Jul 4th 2008

Goshh, I'm a little sick of this little waiting game that WB has us playing.. I mean, TDK looks awesome, and regardless of whether the teaser trailer is coming out with it, I'm going to watch it. I'm trying to take it slow, go bit by bit. You know, first wait for the teaser trailer, then the trailer, then the movie so I don't go mad. But now even waiting for the teaser trailer is getting wayyy too much! The if The Mummy 3 is anything like The Mummy 2, I guess I'll just watch the teaser online. PLEASE LET IT BE W/ TDK!


Posted by LikexWhoax3 Jul 4th 2008

NOOO! I want it to be with Dark Knight!! =/ blahhhhh. whatever. i just want a (teaser) TRAILER!!


Posted by Misa013 Jul 4th 2008

...Well this f***ing sucks. I mean gosh dern!!


Posted by hpyayi Jul 4th 2008

prattdaddy2008, please send it in ASAP! we will all love you for doing so! NO JOKE! do you happen to know when exactly the trailer will be released to theaters by the way? mind asking your manager?


Posted by magical_smiley_sarah Jul 4th 2008

i hope i comes out with the dark knight cuz i'm already seeing it the first day it comes out and i don't really want to see the mummy. plus that means a longer wait and i already feel like i've been waiting for centuries.


Posted by DUI_King Jul 4th 2008

The mummy is going to suck.. I was going to see TDK either way, so if the trailer isn't in that movie, ill catch it on the internet. I can't stand brendan fraiser..


Posted by lilmizzk Jul 4th 2008

the mummy is due out on September 11 here in Australia :( hope its not that long before we see HBP trailer. if it does end up being attached to TDK i think i will give it a miss, batman is not my thing...


Posted by bEtHyBoP13 Jul 4th 2008

I really hope it IS The Mummy because then I won't miss the live podcast when I'm on holiday!! But I won't go to see The Mummy, those films freak me out!!


Posted by loonymudbloodgirl8 Jul 4th 2008

Thats like so not a problem, I was planning on seeing it in the first place.... just now I have more than one reason to see it. Cool! ^=^


Posted by Lyndon Jul 4th 2008

Should this be true, it's kind of embarrassing for both Warners and Universal.


Posted by BlackKat Jul 4th 2008

This is getting sad.


Posted by ecniv08 Jul 4th 2008

please let this be a MAJOR RUMOR! i can't bare waiting till august!!!! i have actually set my mind that the hbp trailer will come with the dark knight.. now this? noooooooooooooo! it's more logical releasing the trailer with a Warner Bros. movie rather than with a Universal film... BOOHOO THE MUMMY, THE DARK KNIGHT IS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY BETTER!


Posted by hermionesfuturehusband Jul 4th 2008

If this is not a rumor I will cry until i see the trailer.


Posted by hkxhsx Jul 4th 2008

i agree w/ YeahImThatGuy17, this would be sad for WB and Universal. If Universal needs this trailer just to boost sales then I guess the mummy will be pretty crap, and if WB keeps going on like this, people are just gonna get angry.. LIKE ME!


Posted by malteselover Jul 4th 2008

WHAT?!?!?!? NOOOO!!!! I mean, the movie is only four months away. Are they really going to put it off any longer? I really want it to come out with TDK, because I wanted to see that movie anyway. I really don't want to see The Mummy. Maybe if we all chant, "The Trailer will come with TDK" it will happen. "The trailer will come out with TDK" "The trailer will come out with TDK." "The trailer will come out with TDK." Please!!!! Harry Potter fans, begin to pray. We're going to need it.


Posted by hkxhsx Jul 4th 2008

THE TRAILER WILL COME OUT WITH TDK!


Posted by hkxhsx Jul 4th 2008

THE TRAILER WILL COME OUT WITH TDK!


Posted by gryffindor_gal_714 Jul 4th 2008

NO!!!!!!!!! this can not be happening! i was so looking forward to a trailer in july, and if this is not a rumor, it's been moved to august! then the only things i'll have to look forward to this month is my birthday on the fourteenth and going to london to visit family........


Posted by snapelover23 Jul 4th 2008

great... i was so looking forward to seeing the trailer with dark knight and i am definately NOT seeing the mummy! Well good thing is once it comes out, it'll probably be on youtube a few weeks later.


Posted by Osaka Jul 4th 2008

Oh good grief. Are you kidding me? I had actually decided that if the trailer were released to the internet, I wouldn't watch it and would wait to see it with the Dark Knight. But if it's with the Mummy, forget it. The price of admission for the Half Blood Prince+Good Movie=gladly. The price of admission for the Half Blood Prince+Crap Movie=No Thanks. I'll watch it on the internet. Bad form, WB. Bad form.


Posted by LindseyBindsey Jul 4th 2008

Maybe it will be with The Mummy and Dark Night. I remember that I saw the Phoenix trailer with Happy Feet and Eragon.


Posted by snapeward777 Jul 4th 2008

what the hell??? first of all, i dont want to see either of the movies its supposed to come out with, because both are stupid. i just wanted to get it online the day the movie its with comes out. ive been checking this friggen ( no offense mugglenet i love you) website everyday!!! im sick of it. but if this movie is sooo bad, and its not a wb movie....then why the hell would they put the HBP trailer with it if HBP is gunna be a huge blockbuster and all that theyre not gunna put the trailer with some crappy, non-wb movie. either there putting it with both movies or were getting it soon. and if not...*prepares the holy hand grenade of antioch*


Posted by hpninjaskills Jul 4th 2008

What the $%#@ is The Mummy about anyway? All I know is that it's about crap & that the release date is BS! ANYWAY, if the teaser doesn't come out with TDK, I'm going to have a freakin' breakdown. TDK seems like the only good movie that the trailer would be released with! & besides, Gary Oldman is in it. :) HOPEFULLY the trailer will be released with BOTH movies. But what good is that to the Mummy? All of the HP fans will have chosen TDK more - because it actually LOOKS interesting. So The Mummy won`t even have a money booster crapface thing. Ugh. =/


Posted by hedwiglives Jul 4th 2008

NO! NO! NO! I was counting down the days until July 18th! This is so unfair, why do they keep dragging up around. I know it's a rumor, but there must be SOME truth to it. I seriously can't wait almost a whole month until the trailer comes out. That's too far away . . .


Posted by jedi_anegram Jul 4th 2008

That's really too long to wait for, and for a blockbuster like Half Blood Prince, that's really too close to the actual release time, since they usually show the trailers well in advance. I still think it will be with The Dark Knight.


Posted by hpninjaskills Jul 4th 2008

If we all have to wait until August 1st, the the trailer better be the REAL trailer! And it better be like .... freaking five kajillion minutes long - because I'm not going to go to a stupid movie (The Mummy, if you don't know! =|) and walk out feeling like I paid $8 for nothing and for a stupid teaser trailer that is less than a goddamn minute!


Posted by CFplayer19 Jul 4th 2008

HEY! the mummy DOES NOT stink! i hav the 1st two and im pumped about the 3rd 1 comen out!!! this will just add 2 my excitement!!... and who cares wat movie it comes out w/ anyway! if u dont want 2 c the movie just watch it online. im sure some1 will put it on!


Posted by colorfulcrocs Jul 4th 2008

August 1st? Bloody hell.


Posted by jakesever Jul 4th 2008

I highly doubt they'd wait till August to release any form of trailer. And why would WB care about boosting sales for a Universal movie? DOES NOT COMPUTE. But also, to all the people that think The Dark Knight looks dumb....what is your deal?!?! Heath Ledger's performance in that looks nothing short of Oscar worthy.

Posted by grednforge Jul 4th 2008

No!! I don't want to see The Mummy!! Oh well... It'll be all over the internet when it comes out anyways...


Posted by Lily_Potter34 Jul 4th 2008

WAIT WAIT WAIT..... The Mummy is a Universial Film not a WB one. They would not put a WB movie in a Universial film, this must be a rumor or a sick joke.


Posted by HPSidekick4 Jul 4th 2008

If true, I don't understand the reasoning behind it. I could see the trailer being in front of both the dark knight and the mummy, but not just the mummy. If the HP moviemakers have a choice, they would definately want it in front of the dark knight, because that should make more in the box office than the mummy. And, a lot of the people who like the dark knight, would also probably like HP. My guess is that it might be in front of both movies, and not just one.


Posted by alexxx Jul 4th 2008

are you effing kidding me. im serioulsy gettin fed up with all these rumors. why cant WB just release the freakin trailer.


Posted by excessofphlegm Jul 4th 2008

Even though the HBP trailer really SHOULD be released with The Dark Knight, it actually does make sense that Universal would want it in front of The Mummy 3. They know their movie is, let's say, below the quality of The Dark Knight and Harry Potter but Universal has the connection with the Harry Potter theme park. It is, sadly, all about the money. I just don't understand why Warner Brothers would avoid releasing it with The Dark Knight, which will probably all ready beat Titanic in the box office-if they know everyone is going to see this movie, why would they avoid showing off Harry Potter, assuming the trailer is really amazing considering we've waited all this time? I think Warner Brothers would want more people to see one of their movies than help out another studio. So that's why I think we will be seeing the HBP trailer with The Dark Knight.


Posted by Rose37 Jul 4th 2008

Please, Prattdaddy2008, post the poster pic very soon on the web!!! Thanks for the nice comment, hpninjaskills!!! WB IS PLAYING CAT AND MOUSE WITH US AND IT IS NOT FUNNY!!! NOT FUNNY AT ALL!!!


Posted by hpwiz812 Jul 4th 2008

WHAT?? NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! That means i have to wait MORE!!! WHY????


Posted by BellaBlack7 Jul 4th 2008

Screw that, I am NOT throwing away $8 on this piece of crap movie just to see the HBP trailer... I'll just watch it online. Plus now this means we'll have to wait even longer (if the rumor is true). I saw the trailer for The Mummy 3 in theaters, and the interesting thing was it had the same music that the OOTP trailer had... But anyway, I wouldn't call The Mummy a "family" film, and that's what they're probably going to market HBP as, AND The Mummy 3 might get an 'R' rating, it looks pretty violent.


Posted by EmberQLumber Jul 4th 2008

I'm looking forward to seeing Mummy III, but waiting this long for the teaser trailer is ridiculous. Even Dark Knight seems too far away...


Posted by ancira Jul 4th 2008

there is NO WAY i'm spending money for the mummy 3!!!!! not even for the trailer


Posted by tabitoo Jul 4th 2008

Not seeing the Mummy. I'll just wait to see the teaser trailer on the net. Maybe the full trailer will be attached to a better film.


Posted by dont_look_down Jul 4th 2008

BellaBlack7: you serious?? the mummy 3 trailer had the same music as OOTP? i find that somewhat hard to believe....


Posted by AmongYourLife Jul 4th 2008

This better be Bullllshittttt.


Posted by BellaBlack7 Jul 4th 2008

Yeah, the OOTP trailer music and Mummy 3 trailer music is the same. Go on YouTube and search 'Order of the Phoenix Theatrical Trailer', you'll find it. Then watch the Mummy one. When I saw the Mummy trailer, I knew I recognized the music, then I realized it was used in the OOTP trailer last year.


Posted by oceansurferg Jul 4th 2008

Has anyone considered that perhaps the teaser trailer is coming with the dark night, and the real trailer is coming with the mummy? Just a thought...
