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.<--

Is each part of DH going to be 2 hours long and butchered beyond recognition?

What no fight??? Come on people!!! Let get a arguement going on here!!!
"Once again..." I must ask Yates to stop screwing up Harry Potter.
hockeymatt1, ok sorry as I said I didnt check the whole argument. Fia, yes. They are WB.
Okay, kids. What are we? Pre-schoolers? No, I didn't think so. Stop acting like ungrateful, little twits. We're all going to go see it regardless. If you're not going to go see it, then you REALLY have no business complaining. You people, as fans, have to understand that everything is ran by the mastermind of this wonderful world we've fallen in love with. Jo has the ultimate say so. She has praised the films. Everything MUST be ok'd with her before it gets the green light. Every character cut, every sub-plot removed is put through to her first. So, to be upset with the decisions is to be upset with her. She knows what is more valuable in the series than any of us. If Bill being cut is okay by her, then it is okay by me and it should be okay with you. The 15-minute dialogue preview is a marketing strategy. WB is not going to cater to us fans. They are going to cater to everyone. In fact, it is an excellent marketing strategy. Like someone else here said, they know we're going to see it. We're the real fans. They're just reeling in the regular movie-goer. Was anyone not enticed by this news? I was. I was foaming at the mouth to see the film and I'm a die-hard Harry Potter fan. What do you think the regular movie-goer will think? They're going to be intrigued. It's a good move, people. We will get a real teaser trailer soon. Eventually, and you may not have known this, we will get the actual film. And then you can start complaining all over again. But for now? Shut up.
Also, stop complaining to David Yates about how much he sucks for cutting characters. That decision is left with the screenwriter who is, unfortunately, Steve Kloves. So, if you must complaing, send them to him. It's his "fault". And you must remember, these are adapted from the books. Adaptation means to be adjusted to new conditions. The book has to be ADJUSTED and CHANGED to become a movie. To expect an exact paper to film copy would be, as Dumbledore put it in Half-Blood Prince (which is fitting since we're all complaining about it), "optimistic to the point of foolishness". So, stop.
IT WILL STILL BE BUTCHERED LIKE OOTP!
yes, im dissapointed that the teaser trailer isnt longer and is just a blank screen, but if you see it in the cinema with dumbledore's voice, i can totally picture myself getting uberly excited. also WTF is david yates doing? yes, he's a brilliant director but he's messing us around and changing the plot. he's dissapointing millions of fans around the world, with what he might think are 'small' changes.
and how are they going to do the DH scene when harry and dobby etc apparate to fluer and bills house beside the sea? it wouldnt work 'cause that's where they stay 'cause no one would guess that they were there. david yates is being a total arse.
Whoa! Koolzies, that was TOTALLY discriminating against pre-schoolers. Let us not forget that YOU were a pre-schooler once. Get over yourself. Yelling is at everyone you can is an idiotic and stupid hobby! Go eat some pie!
Koolzies, I completely agree with you!!!! Well said indeed!!!
*pukes in contempt*
can't wait for the trailer!!!!! regardless of length, we will all see the film and more than likely a longer trailer before long, then only 2 more films to go, does everyone want that magical experience over that quickly?
You know what people, irishfanaticwhobelievessn apeisgood is 100% right and I for one will lay back and wait until the movie comes out. I won't see any of the hp trailers. No matter how good they turn out to be or no matter how important they way be. I will just Wait!!!
his is kinda off topic and random and it might be old news, but isn't kinda weird that Ginny looks like Lily in a way and thats why JKR might of pick Ginny to be Harry's wife since he looks like James also harry might of fell for Ginny because she reminded him of his mother in a way. THIS IS REALLY RANDOM BUT I NEED 2 GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD. b/c i notice when they were in the dept of mystery in the 5th movie and after Ginny used reducto on that death eater theres a shot of Ginny and Harry close together and they look like Lily and James.
yep the similarities between james and lily, harry and ginny , are there, but I dont think harry fell for ginny because of her kind of similarity to Lily. I think JKR drew similarites between the two couples so show history repeating itself, and that a black haired man and a red headed woman can fall in love again years after the first couple like then did, but that this time they can live happly in a world where Voldemort is vanquished! Thats my 2 cents on the matter anyhoo!
I'm not sure that JKR had much influence in the casting but who knows. I mean, the two actresses have been the same since the first movie, right? They resemble each other. It could be a coincidence or it could be by design. I'm guessing it is the former. That being said....the two are often decribed similarly and I'm sure that's no accident. OH!! the_shrieking_snack...IS there pie? And let me hop on the bandwagon: WTF!!I want a better trailer!! WTF!!!David Yates is the anti-Christ!!! WTF!!! WB is run by booger-eating mouth breathers!!! Did I mention WTF?
@R_U_Sirius, dude, you SO get points for that! Yelling at other Mugglenet users sucks, but yelling at injustice in the form of a power-hungry corporation? RIGHT ON!!!!!!!! Pie goes to you, dude!
I love how last year when we were getting Order of the Phoenix movie news left and right and we got new clips of the movie every week, half of you were complaining that the movie had been basically ruined because of all of the clips being shown. Sigh, you reap what you sow.
EXCELLENT OBSERVATION koolzies , *SIGHS* I'VE SAID IT ONCE, I'LL SAY IT AGAIN.... HARRY POTTER FANS ARE SOO FICKLE! THEY SAY SOMETHING TODAY, THEY SAY SOMETHING ELSE NEXT YEAR! I WAS QUITE GLAD WE WERE GETTING "SPOILED" WITH THE MOVIE... IT WAS ALL THESE ROTTEN FANS THAT WERE WHINING SAYING" NO! YOU'RE SPOILING THE MOVIE FOR US! NO CLIPS!" NOW LOOK! YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW... WB TOOK THEM SERIOUSLY AND NOW WE'RE GETTING NOTHING! NEXT TIME THE HP FANS NEED TO THINK B4 THEY SPEAK, ESPECIALLY FOR THE FACT THAT WB CREW MEMBERS LIKE DAVID HEYMAN READ MUGGLENET AND OUR IGNORANT POSTS ~PHOENIX PARTOL OUT!
i've waited months....for that?!! are you kidding me... we dont even get to see anything! it took them this long to come up with THAT? wow, inspires such a lot of confidence in the film doesnt it? :S
hey, thanks to the previous poster (i can't find the post) about going to msn and click on video and search hp and hbp trialer. I am on page 2 and some of the "trailers" are fabulous!!! Whets my appetite!! Even the music is great. I wonder if wb can do something as good! doubt it. some of the scenes even look new!! Oh, and not to get off topic but i did go to see journey 2 the center of the earth in 3-d. EXCELLENT!!!!!
this is sooo FRUSTRATING! a blank screen and a logo, thanks WB :p
hi, it's me again at msn videos for the harry potter trailer. I don't know if this is real, but it is very, very good. of course it's posted on youtube and is about 2 min & 19 secs. If WB can do a trailer this good....great but this is really good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3 XGbyAi2R8. I was watching with my mouth open!!! Mixes old scenes with new scenes. Thought you ought to know!
i know this trailer was probably "put together" by someone but it's really good. i noticed in my post above there is a space between the '3' and the 'X'. there really is no space in the website. i could watch THAT trailer all nite!!!
I just saw Dark Knight and low and behold NO teaser trailer!!! SOOO MAD!!!!!
Actually I just watched it and I think it says "Once again, I must ask too much of you, Harry."
Ok, you guys, seriously, CALM DOWN. WB's MAIN priority is The Dark Knight but now that its released WB will focus on HBP. OKAY?!
wow EXCITING... 1 line by Dumbledore. Surely thats not the most exciting thing thats been filmed so far? I'm getting seriously worried. GIVE US A REAL TEASER TRAILER
heyy guys stop freakin out about the teaser...i know the teaser is lame but its a gud move by wb.. if you already have the exciting parts of the movie in the trailer and teaser then you might just be dissapointed with the movie(this is what happened in ootp).. i felt really excited when i saw the teaser!!..it was giving out so much and still concealing much more!! but im really pissed with wht is happening with mr weasley in this movie!!
ARE YOU FRIGGEN SERIOUS? We've been waiting for this trailer for forever! And are you guys serious about Arthur getting mauled by Grayback?
lol your welcome hooked_on_harry i was the one that posted the msn trailer thing:D yeah i know some of them are really good and also firey_princess and sweeterised harry potter is way more important than the dark knight!!!! and angelina yeah most people say that its arthur instead of bill that gets mauled by greyback... :'(
I went yesterday at the IMAX to see "The Dark Knight" and no trailer of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", I was little disapponted. The movie is kool, but no trailer :0((.
Actually, what Dumbledore is really saying in the teaser is: "Once again, I must ask too much of you, Harry." and not what was written in the news feed. I can't believe that no one has noticed that.
I did see a teaser in a brazilian site... this is the link http://www1.folha.u ol.com.br/folha/videocast s/ult10038u423414.shtml take a look it seems legit.
