Description of IMAX Half-Blood Prince teaser
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.<--

Sorry but I didn't really understand hammers's joke!!!

THIS IS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT MUGGLENET LOL! i love the heated threads (sooo awesome during the shipper time), i love the die hards like myself that care a lot about this stuff and get worked up over it, i love the people who try to calm everyone down and get us less hostile, and the funniest posts come from the in-betweeners who have no clue why we're all up in arms... Lol i'm sorry but i love it! SOO..... don't over load us with info WB!!!! It's not like we're blowing up over it or anything! and the whole grayback, burrow, and bill thing is NOT floating my boat...

Posted by bubblegum555 Jul 14th 2008

Wow... one line... a picture of Dumbledore... congratulations warner brothers. Well done.

Ok. Time for an over view of everything that's been going on, been rumoured and been officially "released." As an avid Harry Potter fan, a dedicated reader for years on years, I have to say I too place alot in store in the movies. For example, when I heard that Dobby was going to be replaced by Neville in the last few movies (It's happened a few times now) I was almost distraught to the point where I was angry at the movie makers before I'd even seen the films themselves. But now, having seen them and been through the book-to-film process 5 times and coming up to the 6th of 8th, we've all got used to the idea that the movies aren't always going to be exactly the same as the books - and you know what? Perhaps they shouldn't be. The books are fantastic, don't get me wrong. But the movies simplify things for a viewing audience, a 2 hour time slot to take the viewers into another world and follow a quickly running plot - it's not like a book where JK can spend countless chapters creating deep and mystifying plots. Sometimes things have to be changed to make the movies more understanding and bring sense to some hard-to-follow plots. JK oversees everything that goes on in all the movies, and if she is ok with, say, Bill and Fleur being taken out of the 6th film, then perhaps we should all get a grip and realise that the films AREN'T THE BOOKS and that things like this happen! We should all be happy that our favourite series has the chance to become the award winning, world renowned films that they are today. Even after all this, half the rumours circulating haven't been officially released and so people are getting all hyped up or aggrivated over nothing! Breath in, breath out. Realise that the movies aren't the books, and they do their best. David Yates and the entire WB team are doing a fantastic job to follow the series through from start to finish and give us readers a chance to see our beloved books come to life in front of us. Now let's all sit down and shut-...


Posted by Rose37 Jul 14th 2008

The reason for the talk of the twight series was because of me, but I was just asking a few questions about the series and that is about it. Nothing more,ok??? Also are you, hpninjaskills part of the snitchseeker website(member) or were you just pointing out some new hp news for us, because mugglenet is too slow to update hp news??? The other reason I ask is because I will be soon a new member of the snitchseeker website!!!


Posted by Rose37 Jul 14th 2008

Right on kokoro_ravenclaw!!!


Posted by candice Jul 14th 2008

exactly, kokoro_ravenclaw. what are in the books may not entirely be great if transported into the big screen. they are two different mediums. but i must confess i have been also disappointed with the movies at times... but i got over it. c'mon, it's harry potter! you'll love it no matter how it looks on screen :)


Posted by hpninjaskills Jul 14th 2008

Rose37 - I do not run SnitchSeeker, but I am just a member. [hpnaiv] I checked it (I check leaky, this, ss, hpana, veritaserum, & oclumencia >> [even though I can't read it] daily. :D) Anyway, I checked SS & saw it, and just decided to let you all know about it. (: But I guess no one really saw what I wrote b/c they were all p/o'd or something about this 15 second teaser. Anyway, PEOPLE, THE REAL TEASER TRAILER IS COMING OUT ON AUGUST 1ST WITH THE MUMMY! :]


Posted by AmandaB Jul 14th 2008

I'd rather another picture, to be honest. And that's not saying much, as i'm not very fond of photos of girls with dodgy photoshop-looking glasses. I expect WB are going to have a riot of angry foul-mouths, by the look of these comments. MAYBE I COULD GET MY POINT ACROSS BETTER WITH CAPITAL LETTERS, SWEARING AND INNCORRECT SPELLING!?


Posted by sevvys_number1_lover Jul 14th 2008

NO WAY!!! I can't believe how wonderfully long this preview is!=] (btw this comment is absolutely dripping with sarcasm.)


Posted by jasmine Jul 14th 2008

I really didn't expect anything substantial. 15 seconds is barely long enough to show the WB logo. And I was right. They just showed a dark screen with a voiceover from Dumbledore. eehh. Great example of a "teaser" trailer. They're really teasing us...


Posted by pizzlebear33 Jul 14th 2008

Like the price of the IMAX showing would even be worth seeing (or should i say hearing SINCE it's only a black screen) that one stupid line. Wow. That is beyond ridiculous. And the Arthur Weasley thing? WTF. Just WTF.


Posted by Mrs_Erika_Radcliffe Jul 14th 2008

If their goal was to psst me off, they did it. CONGRADULATIONS WB! YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY PISSED ME OFF!


Posted by hpninjaskills Jul 14th 2008

How much is it for IMAX anyway ?! Is it THAT expensive?!


Posted by tor Jul 14th 2008

well this is just a little upsetting... can't wait for real stuff to come out!


Posted by yues_woman Jul 14th 2008

BULLS**T!!


Posted by superfish31 Jul 14th 2008

If they cut Bill out... Jesus... I want to say that I just won't go see the movies, but sadly, I can't say I'll hold up to that. I mean, come on, I'm more excited for the theme park than the movies! ):


Posted by Rose37 Jul 14th 2008

hpninjaskills, I am now a member too on snitchseeker.com. I just have to wait untill my e-mail letter comes through and then I can be a offically memember!!! By the way, my username is KnitHarry7 and I see that your username is hpnaiv, great!!! Also, AmandaB, using all caps will not work!!! Trust me, I should know!!!


Posted by texas_hammer Jul 14th 2008

Here's something off topic, but VERY exciting!: It's a rumor that New Line Cinema is currently looking for a director for the movie adaption of the video game Shadow of the Colossus! For anyone who hasn't played Shadow of the Colossus, it's the best game I have ever played, the story is amazing and heart-wrenching, and it's a fast-paced, fantasy game! I wonder who the director will be?


Posted by loonymudbloodgirl8 Jul 14th 2008

WTF!!! You've gotta to be KIDDING me! Where do I start?! 1st what was that little bit of dialogue going on - was that suppose to get me excited?! Of anything it made me more HUNGRIER and ... MAD! And 2ndly, what with them cutting characters out, in stuff?! I mean, I understand that you gotta shorten stuff and all for the little buggers - so they can park it. But what about the rest of us? I mean, this dude cuts out the most important piece for the next film to come! I mean, 1st it BLOWING a HOLE in the ROOM OF REQUIREMENT : which plays a huge part in the sixth book, and even bigger part in the seventh! Then he cuts out Bill & Fleur in this film like their story is insufficient in the seventh book. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS MAN, CAN ANYONE TELL ME?! It just sucks that because we're huge HP fan we're gonna see it no matter how sucky it is. It's gonna do great in the box office, and feel thats why he does it like that ... it's not gonna make much of a different whether it's good or bad. We're still gonna see it, I know I am. I've been planning it sents last year. This all sucks thats all. :(


Posted by HBP_HagridsBigPoop_ Jul 14th 2008

Well, this is a bit anti-climactic. So is this officially the teaser? Cuz if it is than that REALLY sucks. But, uh, yeah. It's something, I suppose (though not something good). :P Blah.


Posted by superfish31 Jul 14th 2008

The teaser trailer comes out with the Mummy on August 1st ^. Oh, and has anyone else noticed that when you're talking to someone about the Harry Potter movies, everyone always says they stink? Is it just me? Because whenever someone mentions them, everyone's always like HP movies = stink. /:


Posted by HBP_HagridsBigPoop_ Jul 14th 2008

^^Oh, OK. As long as this isn't the actual teaser trailer I feel better.


Posted by MagicMaker222 Jul 15th 2008

Rose37: Well they are alot cheaper that the HP books. I got the paperback twilight yesterday for $8.88 i think and i got the hardback New Moon for like $13.72. I didn't think I would really care for the books either but i read the first 100 or so pages of twilight yesterday afternoon and last night I was havein dreams about vampires. Well the Cullen vampires. Good thing they don't drink human blood,lol. The books are worth 10 buck each, well I think so anyway.


Posted by irishfanaticwhobelievessnapeisgood Jul 15th 2008

Isn't anyone enjoying all the suspense and tension? Let's face it, we will all get to see the film in November, then only two more left.... then.....I appreciate that some people are desperate for info, I am a HP fanatic so so am I, but closer to the movie we will have more, remember all the clips from OOTP b4 it was released? And obviously they cant fit all the 600 and odd pages in 2 and a half hours or whatever, they have to make cuts and changes, and I for one think it has worked out reasonably well up until now, yeah I do get annoyed when certain stuff is left out, but they do the best they can!


Posted by CeciliaJ Jul 15th 2008

That is too cool for school :D


Posted by Fia Jul 15th 2008

They're still leaving out too much! And adding too much! Doesn't a deatheater attack on the burrow ruin the whole point of Voldemort lying low and gathering his army? And growing stronger? Raising the suspense? Bidding his time? And we have a random Death Eater attack?!


Posted by Rose37 Jul 15th 2008

The story plot for the movies are way of the charts by now, it is not even funny how different the movies and books are!!! Also I will see if the my money is worth ten bucks or not. I know that isn't alot of money for a book, but I have tried so hard to move away from hp, than no book has ever gone past the first chapter, without being brought back to the library the next day. That I don't want to end up happening again!!!


Posted by Czechmetz Jul 15th 2008

Bahahaha, that's ridiculous. They're being so SECRETIVE.

Posted by Rose37 Jul 15th 2008

I had started in December of 2001!!! So in turn I was one of the late bloomers when it came to hp, but in the end I caught up with all of the reading and news and here I am now. 6 years oldered and with six years of my life having to do with hp and that is sad to amit, but is very true!!!


Posted by themadmuggle Jul 15th 2008

Well I for one am from the UK, and I started the month after Philosopher's Stone was released. So THERE. I don't mean to start a fight, either.

Posted by Rose37 Jul 15th 2008

Let the battle begin!!!


Posted by hockeymatt1 Jul 15th 2008

Posted by hockeymatt1 Jul 15th 2008

Posted by tiassa Jul 15th 2008

hockeymatt1, I didn't check what you're arguing about but there are going to be 8 movies, DH has two parts. continue


Posted by texas_hammer Jul 15th 2008

hockeymatt1, I agree on SOME accounts . . . but they you capitalized your words in such a brital almost makes me think a puck to hard to the head, perhaps?


Posted by teamneville11 Jul 15th 2008

hahahahaha, texas_hammer that was GREAT


Posted by Fia Jul 15th 2008

Okay, did they really take out the Harry/Ginny kiss?


Posted by ade820 Jul 15th 2008
