Half-Blood Prince teaser trailer now online!
Half-Blood Prince teaser trailer now online! (Digg this story!) UPDATE: AOL now has the trailer online in three different quality versions. Check 'em out HERE!

After initially appearing on MSN over an hour before the trailer was supposed to premiere on AOL, we now have the teaser trailer online in all its glory. For those of you who have seen both the MSN and AOL trailers, you'll notice that the MSN one says that the film is coming "This Year" as opposed to "November" in the AOL one. The web addresses also differ... AOL says HarryPotter.com while MSN says HarryPotter.co.uk.

That was brilliant. Little Tom Riddle was creepy. I can't wait until the movie now.

whoa, I've watched it about 50 times now. Love it! doesn't give to much away of everything that happens, which is great since it is a 'teaser' trailer. My biggest concern about HBP was that I needed to get an awesome young Tom and this kid is just perfect! Shills when he says "I can speak to snakes too" The look of the orphanage is just amazing, can't wait for the movie!

sorry to put a downer on it, but it wasn't what i'd been hoping for. i might have missed it but as far as i can remember... there was hardly anything of hogwarts, no snape, no draco, any of the other order members, no hermione, just quite a few things that makes harry potter what it is. this felt like a trailer to a harry potter spin off kinda thing? anyone else agree? or were my expectations just too high? also, sorry if i've missed this somewhere but is there news on any other hbp trailers? this can't be the only one, there's probably another with all the stuff i've just complained about... if so, i take it all back and warner bros. are crazily cool again ;) aha


Posted by voldivoice Jul 29th 2008

wow i thought they would really foul up the atmosphere or something but that looks pretty good, love toms cockney accent, from one londoner to another lol


Posted by marcelapalomo Jul 29th 2008

The scene with the field running is when Belatrix and Greyback attack then on Christmas... there're not in the book..... Harry and Ginny scape to the field, and Belatrix and Greyback try to kill both.... When Greyback goes to Ginny, Harry jinx him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will be AMAZING!


Posted by RabidSphinx Jul 29th 2008

wow.....i pooped myself a little......that was awesome....but....but.... where's Draco? *sob*...............good teaser though. i hope for a REAL trailer soon. .......................


Posted by Jimmy_D Jul 29th 2008

Looks good but I don't know if this was exactly worth the wait. I guess I will have to look at it a few more times to get a better opinion.


Posted by Grnd3lw4ld_ Jul 29th 2008

Looks interesting. If only movies were as good as trailers make them out to be


Posted by fantasywriter17 Jul 29th 2008

Oh my God! I nearly pissed myself!!!!!! This looks so awesome!! I was so scared that they were going to screw this one up, but it looks like their doing an awesome job!!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !


Posted by Jackie_Voltaire Jul 29th 2008

YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!! *bounces up and down in chair while watching trailer for the fifth time!!!*


Posted by Danathepotionsmaster Jul 29th 2008

Holy crap! FINALLY! This movie is going to be effing amazing...no doubt. Well worth the wait! :D


Posted by Daphne_aka_Hermione Jul 29th 2008

OMG!It was totally worth staying up for!AMAZING!I am clapping my hands in my bed, I can't contain myself! I love memories involving Voldemort and I am so glad we got to see one in the trailer, though it's actually pretty much the only thing we see in it! Little You Know Who is so creepy,just like in the books!PERFECT! But, what's with Ginny in the dressing gown being disarmed?What moment of the book is it?


Posted by mithos Jul 29th 2008

That was the best movie trailer I have seen in my entire life on this planet known as Earth. Holy s*** that was awesome. It looks like it could be the best movie.


Posted by felixfelicis888 Jul 29th 2008

That was cool! Accio-Potter.com has the embeded code as well. I can't wait!


Posted by KaileeA42 Jul 29th 2008

Hey Guys, I just had a thought. Maybe their having that stupid attack on the Burrow in this movie because they're not having it in 7. Maybe in 7 it will be Lupin and Tonk's wedding instead, since Bill and Fleur have never been introduced in the movies. that would actually make some twisted sort of Movie-making sense, and I love Lupin and Tonks so I hope I'm right. And I thought the Trailer was awesome, maybe Gambon will do a bit better in thsi movie, but I won't let my hopes get too high on that one. SOOO EXCITED for HBP though! Dobby's Socks! That trailer was awesome! WOOOOT!


Posted by Scooby Jul 29th 2008

What a trailer! Looks excellent"Am I the only one who thought Tom Ridde was about to say "I see Dead People?", then have the monster from Jeeper Creepers show up in the field complete with mel gibson shouting "Swing Away?"


Posted by britfan Jul 29th 2008

Y'know everyone so far has said it's Ginny running through the field with Greyback chasing her, but I think it's Lupin, with Greyback growling in the background.


Posted by KrysxCheese Jul 29th 2008

That was so amazing. I'm so excited now. Young Tom is perfect, and everything looks so awesome. :D I cannot wait to see the actual trailer now haha. Now I'm going to go watch it 100 more times. ;)

Posted by kapuffy26 Jul 29th 2008

Jaimieanne: Yeah, I think that is Greyback. If you listen carefully, you can hear a growl. I think that's in the newly added scene where the Death Eaters attack the Burrow. I was really curious about the new scene at the Burrow, but--by the looks of this teaser--I think it's going to add lots of intensity to the film. I know it's only the beginning, but I really, truly, deeply think that this is going to be--by far--the best Harry Potter movie in the series. It has a "Classical" and "Epic" qualitiy that a few of the previous films were lacking.


Posted by axlgirl Jul 29th 2008

WHERE'S THE POTIONS BOOK?! This trailer makes it look like Voldemort/Riddle is the Half-Blood Prince. Loving the orphanage, though!


Posted by harry1991 Jul 29th 2008

one word .. AMAZING this movie is going to be AWESOME !! quote : what's with Ginny in the dressing gown being disarmed? aaaand .. could anyone please write the script of the trailer .. cuz there's some lines i don't understand ..


Posted by phoenixgurl321 Jul 29th 2008

OMG OMG OMG OMG! That's all I could say throughout the entire thing. I am so happy right now. So, that was about one hundred times better than I thought it would be! I don't know about you guys but the anticipation up to this point was killing me.

awesome! YaY! I can't believe it's finally here! great!


Posted by nymphadora625 Jul 29th 2008

I thought the trailer was pretty great. Sure it would have been nice to see some of other characters, but we know they will be in the film. This trailer focuses on what the main theme of the book was, the relationship between harry, dumbledore, and voldemort. I really like the tone that Yates has set with this film, I was worried it was going to be a bunch of ron/lavender/hermione silliness, sort of the calm before the Deathly Hallows storm, but it seems as if this film will include all the tones of the book. Anyone else concerned that the trailer closed with "This Year" as opposed to 11/21/2008 like most trailers do? I hope this doesnt mean the film release date would be pushed back (what a shocker that would be with a 4 month delayed teaser trailer)


Posted by hpintwense06 Jul 29th 2008

OH. MY. GOSH! That was so awesome! I am so happy that they are keeping the whole importance of memories in the movie. ANd the end of that trailer? It gave me chills. Really. It did. OMG! *off to watch it again*

Posted by JKrowlingismyIDLE Jul 29th 2008

I actually don't think it was that great. But we'll see for the next one. I hope that they include more of the films vitalities


Posted by Lily_Black Jul 29th 2008

OMG!!! I had to watch the trailer 5 trillion times to get everything but I finally did. Amazing. At first glance it looks like they only show you the little Voldy aspect to the book but upon closer inspection there's so much more, Ginny running in her nightgown could have been the attack on Hogwarts by Draco since it happened at night, there was obviously Ron poisoned and then someone with a ring, which can only be the Gaunt's ring, they couldn't show EVERYTHING of course, since it's only a teaser, but by the looks of it, they're making the movie that this book demands, and it was definately worth the wait just to know that. Bloody Brilliant.


Posted by adriennecray Jul 29th 2008

OMFG! That was so great! I was hyperventilating. This movie will probably be the best!


Posted by Siriusly_RosieB Jul 29th 2008

Wow, that was really really awesome!!! It all looked so great - the visual, the effects, the music! It had a really sinister feel to it as well, especially towards the end where it's just Dumbledore and Harry's voices over a black screen; really sets the mood! Can't wait!!


Posted by AnyaMarcos Jul 29th 2008

Looks great!


Posted by alex_c98 Jul 29th 2008

I'm kind of stunned - not what I was expecting, but SOOOO MUCH BETTER. Wow. That... wow. I think I've watched it 10 times already and it still gives me chills. AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH perfect.


Posted by kirinyeahh22 Jul 29th 2008

oh. my. god. it was amazing!!! i cant wait for the movie.


Posted by mlc872 Jul 29th 2008

I loved it. I loved how they concentrated on Tom Riddle that kid looks great. I think they will release another trailer later with more to it this one was under two minutes. I love how they don

To harry1991 : Her's the transcript.... Are we aloud to post the lines here? Oh well, I will anyway! :) _____________________ Dumbledore: "What you are looking at are memories." "In this case pertaing to one individual." "This is perhaps the most important memory I've collected." "I'd like you to see it." ------------------- --------------------- La dy: "In all the years Tom's been here he's never once had a visitor." Tom: "You're the doctor aren't you?" Dumbledore: "No" Tom: "Who are you?" Dumbledore: "I'm like you Tom, I'm different." Tom: "Prove it." ------------------- ------------------ Tom: "I can make things move without touching them." "I can make bad things happen to people who are mean to me." "I can speak to snakes too." "They find me, whisper things." --------------- ------------------------- Harry: "Did you know sir, then?" Dumbledore: "Did I know I'd just met the most dangerous dark wiard of all time?" "No"

What's up with the Ginny bit? I don't understand it.


Posted by Nirvana89 Jul 29th 2008

This is going to be an awesome movie.


Posted by hpfan5ttm Jul 29th 2008

NICEEEE i love it


Posted by Mrsroonil_wazlib Jul 29th 2008

that.... was..... AWESOMEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!


Posted by PrincessTonks Jul 29th 2008

"Dumbledore sounds kind of, gay in his first few lines, doesnt he?" Darklord77 Maybe they were trying to make him seem more true to the book, he is gay afterall... Anyway...great trailer! It worries me a little that the gaunts aren't in the trailer though. I had heard they were cutting them out but it is one of the things that I just can't believe until I see it, especially with the gaunts being kind of important in the 7th book. Oh well, we will find out....GREAT TRAILER!!!!!


Posted by Muggleboy57 Jul 29th 2008

I'm really disappointed. Michael Gambon sounded like he was trying to hard to seem like Chris Harris and the young Tom didn't have anywhere near enough malice in his voice.
