Description of IMAX Half-Blood Prince teaser
Back in late June, we broke news of a "teaser trailer" coming with The Dark Knight in IMAX on July 18th. Last week, we learned that this teaser trailer is actually a 15-second preview.A MuggleNet reader who works at an IMAX theater has provided us with a description of the trailer, as well as the one line of dialogue in it. We understand that some people may want to be surprised, so highlight in between the arrows below if you'd like to read it before Friday!
-->A black screen with Dumbledore saying "Once again I must ask you to do the impossible, Harry." After that, the title is displayed as well as the release date.<--

this totally sucks! there are trailers on utube that are better than that! WB is really exhibiting their skills here! AND WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOIN ON ABOUT ARTHUR! THAT IS SERIOUSLY MESSED UP! POO ON U WB!
WHAT!! I thought bill was going to be in the 6th movie?? what is this.Why does Arthur get attacked by Greyback, that's just weird. Since the third movie they've messed everything up. Well the 4th was pretty acurate. Well anyway I'll still go see it for sure, cause I'm such a Harry Potter junkie :P p.s this is totally off topic. My dad was watching TV and i walked into the room and the guy that plays Arthur W. was on some TV show and they were like firing guns or something and talking about random things out in the woods,and I just burst out laughing. Especially cause he isn't a red head!
right, you'll blink and miss it, but that one line does sound pretty intense! I had thought about the possibility of a lupin/tonks wedding, I think thats what we're gonna get. I'm pretty sure they couldn't pull off the trio leaving without the wedding scene.
huh????? that is soooo weird.....just lkike them to do sumthin lyk that....idiots
If that's fifteen seconds, how long is the actual movie gonna be? Movie: Dumbledore and Harry meet Slughorn, Harry goes to Hogwarts, Quidditch, Ron falls in love, Katie gets pwn'd, a few pensieve scenes, the cave, Dumbledore went crashing down, and END. That's one hell of a movie. *cough* not *cough* Excuse me. I said NOT.
From a publicity point of view, this is an AMAZING move. This would make me want to see the film more than a few very quick cutty clips (which is what most teasers are like). Then we have the full trailer in about a month. GENIUS.
What the F*CK did you all expect from a FIFTEEN SECOND trailer? You all are effing getting pissed off for NO goddamn reason. Did you expect the whole golly movie to come out with this? GOD! You guys are such b*tches. (the ones complaining) Calm down! We`ll all see a trailer soon. At least this is SOMETHING. If this didn't even come out, you guys would all be crying your a$$es off about not getting ANYTHING. Well, this is something, so be fudge happy. Golly gee. You guys are so freaking whiny, it's pathetic & annoying as hell.
That was exciting!!! (Starts to snore)
I agree - it's good to see something. Especially since we were only expecting the title and "Coming to IMAX". That line is a blessing.
I CANNOT WAIT!!!! Although I must admit, the teaser line provided is disappointing. I want more!!!!
PPL READ THIS I THINK THIS IS HOW THEY ARE GONNA DO TEH FLEUR SCENE!: okay well im going to tell u how they are gonna do it in the 6th movie then ill tell u how they should do it in the 7th movie if the wedding convo is not in the 6th: THE SIXTH: harry would be at trhe burrow then the phone rimgs molly picks it up and then u could over hear her talking and she'll be like " YOUR MARRYING WHO?!!" then later she'll be like " OH NO BILL U KNOW WHEN SHE VISITD OVER THE SUMMER HOW SHE WAS! WE THOUGHT U WERE JUST DATING AND NOW UR GETTING MARRIED!?" so then later she'll be like " well yes,yes i KNOW its ur choice but couldnt u pick someone better then HER?" and then she'll be like " okay Bill Bye" harry would be all confused and he looks at ginny and says " who's her marrying" " Phlegm" " who's she?" asks harry and then ron would be liek " oh shut up ginny say her real name" " NO! she treats me like a little girl!" then ron gives her a dirty look and he looks at harry and says " fleur" harry would be liek " WHAT? FLEUR?" " yea..." " when did tehy start seeing eachother?" harry asks " they met during our school year and he brougth her here during teh summer they just left a week ago" harry would be all confused then later it'll show the next scene. AND NOW FOR HOW TEY SHOULD SHOW IT FOR THE 7TH MOVIE:well in teh end of the 6th movie ron asks harry to come over for teh summer just dor a while before tehy do anythign and harry agrees. so in the 7th movie when harry goes in rons house he goes in his room and ginny walks in " OH I CANT STAND HER!" yells ginny " and harry asks who ginny says " phlegm" and harry would be like " phlegm" and rons sitting on his bed and he'll be like " what ginny means is Fleur" " WHAT? whats she doing here?" and ron would be like " shes getting married to Bill" " whern did this happen" harry would ask then he is interupted by fleur who comes in and kisses harry on the cheek then it woyuld show the next scene. TELL ME IF U LIKE IT
why the hell can't WB listen to the fans and gives us a teaser trailer that is worth going to see a movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! i give WB not going to listen to any more news from WB now.
NOO!!! WE...NEED...THE...REAL... TRAILERR!!!! *cries* why WB? WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO US?!?!?! and why are they taking Bill and Feur out>? THATS INSANE!!! HBP is my favorite one of the series, and they better not mess it up even more.
Rose37, lol
gosh, only 15 seconds? honestly?..........*sigh* well, you gotta admit, its better than nothing, right?
Knowing what the line is now, knowing also how more dark and more scaryer the movie and the area around the viewers are going to get and know how busy this weekend at the movies are going to be, for right now, I know for a fact I will not be seeing the Dark Knight movie in imax, but only in the regular movie theather. Also the other day, when I was at the movie theather, all of the pictures of faces was covered in glasses and werid sayings from the Dark Knight movie. I think the theathers or atleast the theather near where I live is getting ready for the release of the Dark Knight movie, with out a dought!!!
Are you kidding me? We have been waiting for a long time for this teaser trailer and we find out its 15 seconds... =/
Ok quick! Someone that is at home near their HBP book. Look and see if that quote is in there or not. For some reason I think it is. Does anyone know for sure?
God, this was not worth the wait. GOSH DARN IT WB, DO SOMETHING RIGHT!
About the teaser trailer, at least it's something, and being a teaser trailer it would never be much mora than that. The ridiculous part has to do with Mr Weasley getting mauled. I mean, as someone already pointed out, from the 3rd movie on they have been messing everything up. OOTP was a complete mess, they invested more in the graphics than in the plot itself. So, I wouldn't put it past WB to start the 7th movie with the Trio already on the run, maybe at Sirius' house or something, and we only know about the wedding through their conversation, when Harry would say something like "Remember at Bill's wedding when Xeno Lovegood told ...". I have been disapointed once and again since PoA, so...
A whole 15 seconds... You know, I think WB is full of crap for this. They really are...I don't know what their problems is this time around with HP... I don't mean to start any fandom wars here, but I'll just say...I think a certain other film based on a book with a huge following is going to squash HBP in the box office if WB doesn't get their act together...I'm a fan of both series, and I can honestly say I'm looking forward to this other film much more than I am to HBP. I'm afraid that WB is going to wait until the absolute LAST minute to start putting the public on HP overload, instead of steadily building up the buzz like this other film is doing. Granted, HP has been out longer and has a bigger fandom, but for those who are not exactly fans of the series and just go to see the movies, WB is shooting themselves in the foot with their retarded antics. I think they're risking the chance for a lot of people to be like "What's this nonsense? More Harry? I thought it was over? Now all of a sudden it's back...Forget this. I'm going to see ________ instead." I do hope I'm wrong. Perhaps things will change when it gets closer to the release. But as a fan, I am just not at all happy with WB. (I'm not even going to comment on the Mr. Weasly thing...it'll just make me more upset that I already am. Again...this other film is staying MUCH more true to the books. Why do HP films always manage to screw something up? It's ridiculous.) *Sigh* And I used to be so positive about the HP films...
Wow, people are overreacting a lot. WB did warn us that this was just a 15-second preview...you can hardly fit any action sequence into 15 seconds, so they just promoted the movie with the name--it gets people thinking about it. And as for replacing Bill's attack with Mr. Weasley...I don't think it'll be too bad. I mean, I really wanted to see Bill and Fleur cause that would've been hilarious, but we have to remember that EVERYTHING THEY PUT INTO OR TAKE OUT OF THE MOVIE IS OK'D WITH JK ROWLING FIRST. That's why they fit Kreacher into OOTP. That's why Alfonso Cuaron wasn't allowed to have a graveyard in the Hogwarts grounds or to have "little people" dancing around Hogwarts everywhere. So I really don't think replacing Bill and Fleur's wedding with Lupin and Tonks's would be too detrimental to the plot of the film, and they'll probably be the owners of Shell Cottage instead of Bill and Fleur. As for Mrs. Weasley having to cook raw meat from now on...I can't see that being too much of a problem for her, because her husband isn't DEAD.
It's not a teaser trailer man, It's a preview. What did you expect of 15 seconds, lol.
Looking in the book, I know for sure that the line has to do something with the cave, but I couldn't find it. I promise that once I find the line, I will report to you here, on mugglenet, MagicMaker222!!!(Gets up and leaves the room, to better view the sixth book)

Does anyone else think that twilight is going to do more justice to it's bool that the HBP movie does? Oh and ashurlito: Umm do they even have a phone at the burrow?
After thinking for a long time ive decided WB is officaily gay.
DAVID YATES, I fudge HATE YOU! Why do you have to change up the story so much in the HP films? Goddamit! And 15 seconds is practically nothing! Why does Arthur have to go through so much...I thought it was Bill that was attacked by Fenrir Greyback! Sheesh, that's why I totally hated the Order of the Phoenix film. What is your f'ing problem? It's like he can't leave JK Rowling's work alone! This movie is going to suck ass now. I want to get David Yates OUT!!!
It's better than nothing! It's the first good piece of news we've got in a while, and anyhoo, isn't half the magic of the film waiting for it? Once it comes out, only 2 more films to look forward to, then....................( yeah, I don't want to think about it!!!!!!)
No, the Twilight movie wont do the book justice but it will be better than the book itself because the book is not that good. I know, I just finished it and it doesn't live up to the hype at all. It just drags on forever with no vampire action at all. In the movie however, from the clips I've seen so far, we actually get to see Edward bite someone. In the book that stupid idiot whiner called Bella faints and misses the whole thing. And I'm hoping they skip all the listening to each others heartbeats crap!
You have GOT to be kidding me. Honestly, that's just CRUEL. It's like they're honestly trying to get under our skin. What use is that? I mean, I'm somewhat happy that there is some sign there ACTUALLY IS a movie, but it's just like rubbing it in our face. Gahhh, blech.
arry6, 'gay' isn't a bad word
I'm sorry, but that is the lamest "teaser" I've ever heard. Harry always does the "impossible" because, well . . . he's a wizard. Yeah, we got that by now, thanks. Lame! I don't know what WB is thinking lately.
Twilght is going to be fudging shhh. Why can't movie directors leave the books alone! I'm already dreading the sixth movie. Arthur's gone through enough. I agree with PotterGurl08 and arry6. WB is sooooooooooooooooo gay!
Are you people sick or something? Overreacting like babies o.O As if David Yates wrote the script and cut Bill out. He's not the one that will be editing the movie either but I bet you're still gonna blame him if you hate it, right? Awesome. Please stop going on about the trailer also... you're going to see the movie anyway :( grrrr!
I have noticed that some of you are talking about the twight series. Right now I am part of a book club near where I live and we were to continue to read the lord of the rings series for awhile, but because of the twight number four book coming out at the end of this year, the group decide to change the book reading to the twight series. Now could anyone please explain what is so big about the series. From the summary that I have read for the twight series(a vanpire and something else are in love with eachother), I know I won't like reading the books, but in order for me to go to the meetings I will have to read the books. Also because of the four book coming out this year, the other three books are most likely sold out or there are tons of waiting list. So where would I get my hands on the first twight???
How queer is that??? If they have the trailer with The Mummy, I am gonna be sooooooo pissed.
Okay, sorry to all those people who are reprimanding us "whiny-types." Yeah, OK, so maybe we're overreacting just a little bit, but....GIVE US A BREAK! We're cranky HP fans who just want some sort of sign that this movie is really out there! Sure, we maybe acting a little childish, but people WHAT THE HECK WAS HARRY THROUGHOUT ALL OF OOTP, HUH?? It's just, maybe I should speak for myself, but I think most of us just want a trailer, because, well, because this series is so freakin' important to us. Yes, I understand the meaning of the word "teaser," but I have seen other teaser trailers longer than 15 seconds with something at least other than a black screen. I'm not even asking for a clip, OK? Someone could probably manage to at least throw in a few movie stills, add some dramatic sound effects after each one popping onto the screen, then slowly fade to black and have the quote. Am I childish? Yes. Should you blame me? No.
Well that sucks
That is right, hedwighummer!!! TO SOME HARRY POTTER IS A BIG PART OF THEIR LIFE!!!
Hedwighummer is my hero right now. Overreacting is a part of life. And Harry Potter is definitely a big part of my life!
Yeah guys, that was ME who said the news about Arthur Weaseley getting MAULED (CAN U FUCKINNN BELIEVE THAT?!?) in the film. I have to be honest with ALL of you, for the first time in history... i'm actually SCARED about this upcoming HP film, so many cuts i've heard make POA look innocent. I liked OOTP, no matter how much you fans bash it, lol. but now i'm not so sure about this one. I BET YOU GUYS THAT DOBBY ISN'T EVEN IN THIS FILM! HOW THE HELL R THEY GONNA EXPLAIN HIS OUT-OF-THE-BLUE APPEARANCE IN DH??? AND ARTHUR GETS MAULED??? WHAT ABOUT BILL? WHAT ABOUT SHELL COTTAGE??? SO DOES THAT MEAN HARRY GOES BACK TO THE BURROW, WHEN THE MINISTRY IS WATCHING THE WEASELEYS HOUSE??? THIS JUST MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL.! I hope these are all lies and the movies will be good, b4 no matter HOW LONG DH is.... it's still gonna be crap because Yates fucked up with HBP... i'd never thought i'd write a complaint about the movies like this, but this is INSANE@!!!!
Amen, and thank you to Rose37 and Pirate99. Oh yeah, and does anyone know what the heck is going on the the Mr. Weasley mauling bit? Because that just makes me unhappy, and more cranky on top of the whole teaser trailer deal. Unfortunately, this is not a good day to be an obsessive Harry Potter fan. :-(
Rose37: I'm not sure where you live but i just bought twilight book at Wal-Mart while i was at lunch earlier today. It was the paperback but they didn't have the hardback and they were sold out last week when I was there. So i got in because I was afraid they would sell out again. I got New Moon and started it but I'm to put that off and start twilight tonight. Oh and thanks for checking out the quote for me. I would do it but I'm at work and surf mugglenet when I'm bored(*always bored at work*) but i do intend to check when i get home this afternoon.*gets off work in 1hour and 44 minutes* see told you i get bored,lol
Some birthday present this is. I mean, it's great that we finally have something, but 15 seconds does not do our anticipation and excitement justice. What is anyone going to get out of a black screen and dumbledore's voice?????
Ladies and Not-so-gentleman of Mugglecast! We have been thoroughly gypped of a trailer. Sharpen your axes and get out your chainsaws! get out the cheesecakes, and release the mary sues! They must die!
WB should go choke on pie. yeaaaaahh. :)
To anyone complaining about Arthur getting attacked here is some common sense for you: Bill has been cut, and for good reason. Introducing him this late is pointless. Plus, having him get attacked wouldn't carry as much weight due to the fact that he was introduced so late in the game, and the average movie goer who hasn't read the books would think he was put in the movie to just get attacked and add to the on screen carnage. Truth be told, I never cared one bit about Bill getting attacked. Yeah, he is Ron's brother, but who cares in the larger skeam of things. It didn't effect Harry's journey in the slightest, and Harry's journey is the most important part. That being said, at least by it being Ron's dad I will care a little more, because Arthur is just as much a role model for Harry as he is for Ron. So this allows it to be a bigger impact on Harry, and makes it relevant to the story. Whereas with Bill it was sorta just a oh yeah here is some more carnage Bill got attacked. I am glad that they made it Arthur who gets attacked, because him I do care about.
About the trailer- I lol'd. But you can't really fit much into a 15 second trailer anyway unless you just quickly flash tons of scenes together. But that wouldn't make sense for promoting purposes unless it was an actual trailer. About Arthur Weasley and the Fleur thing- Honestly, I think what they're doing is a great idea. Yeah, I'm somewhat disappointed that they aren't making it Bill and Fleur but you have to remember that the movie goers don't know who the hell Bill is! And they barely know who Fleur is. They'll just just be like "wait... I think that chick looks familiar." So it makes more sense to the condensed movies to have it be characters people are already familiar with, or else those scenes wouldn't have so much of an emotional effect on the movie goers because they aren't attached to those characters. Also, if they were to keep the Bill and Fleur thing, they would have to spend time in the movie trying to explain who these people are when they could be using that time for more important scenes. It just makes more sense for movie purposes and for the movie goers to make it Arthur Weasley being attacked and Lupin and Tonks's wedding for DH. To be honet, I'm glad that they're most likely going to have it be Tonks and Lupin's wedding because it'll give them more screen time in DH and make the movie goers more connected to them before they bite the dust. And don't worry about all the little loop holes this creates because WB will find a way to make it work since JKR is working with them and approving it all. You have to remember, JKR is the one giving the green light.
Wow. I mean W O W. Talk about tossing a morsal of food to a bunch of starving inmates in the dungeon! WB has given us a morsal - we are S T A R V I N G for anything new on Harry Potter, right? The books are done, we have nothing further to look forward to except these movies - HP is a very large part of most of our lives...WB gets that. This is nothing more than a brilliant marketing ploy to attempt to get the hungry fans drawn in that anticipation of the books. Watch, next week, the teaser will be out followed quickly on its heels with so many promos, we will become inundated and punch-drunk with Potterisms. Relax, you'll get your fix. And please, this isn't an admonishment, however, those of you who choose to use, shall we say 'colorful' language, please don't. As far as Mr. Weasley goes, I'm confused; just because there are supposed scans (not that I'm saying the person who posted this info is wrong) from Movie Magic makes it so? Do we have absolute knowledge and proof this is a fact? Until then, I'm not going to get my knickers in a bunch.
