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.

XYJens -- sorry the video isn't there anymore. I just realized that my last comment was number 394.....you know ...like "turn to page 394!" sorry, everything i do is somehow associated with harry potter! so i've only seen of the trailers. i'm sure i'll catch up with the other one another time. i think EVERY HP fan is on their computer, but that's ok, we're all here together, enjoying our moment!!! :-D

I love this trailer!!! I think the movie is going to be great. But, of course, it has really given me the fever now for more! Can't wait! I love the actor playing young Tom Riddle. He is excellant. Plays it with just enough darkness! Kudos to WB. Do people say Kudos any more? Oh well! I will say it one more time. Kudos! Loved it. I have watched it 10 times already!


Posted by piper1871 Jul 29th 2008

That was AWSOME!! Young Tom was really creepy. Everyone is saying that is Ginny running threw the feild. If you pause the trailor at that moment, you see that it is Harry running through the feild. Probably running from the Death Eaters or trying to get to Ginny to save her from whoever disarmed her at the water.

WOW this thing got me SOOO PUMPED! AHHHH! I LOVED IT! IT WAS AWESOOOOOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! The kid is just perfect and he looks evil and stuff and ah! Ginnyand her wand! I loved it! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! !!!!! I CAN'T STOP JUMPING WITH JOY!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm


Posted by lilyhpfan23 Jul 29th 2008

At least I know that they are going to that scene pure justice. I really liked the movie. And Michael Gambdon isn't AS bad as I thought he would be but he still seems way too harsh for Dumbledore. Other than Dumbledore, the trailer was REALLY good. I can't wait for the actual trailer and I'm glad Dumbledore seems a LITTLE more Dumbledorish (hehe I like how that sounds... dumbledorish...)


Posted by megblack89 Jul 29th 2008

I guess its good for a teaser, I just wish we could have seen MORE of the movie, but it was a captivating into for people who maybe havent seen the movies also. I hope we get a nice long Trailer too, but I wont hold my breath, if I'd done that for this one I'd have been dead long ago.


Posted by marfox Jul 29th 2008

wow that trailer was freaking sweet i couldn't wait 4 the movie 2 come out but the trailer makes u want 2 c it more that trailer was perfect nothing was wrong with it the part with Harry and Ginny running through the hay field and it looked like they were running from greyback i cant wait 4 that part but the movie is going 2 smash the dark knight records i love harry potter and cant wait 4 this movie hurry November 21


Posted by lakewoodgirl Jul 29th 2008

I am SSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!!!!!! It looks really good and word from word in the book!!!!! (story) I am not yet a teen and I was watching the trailer in my room. I hear my overprotective mom walk in behind me, but I am to interested in the teaser trailer to look @ her. When the trailer ends she exclaims in a disgusted/terrified voice, "MY GOD!!!! Is this what the books are actually like?! It's like a trailer for a Horror film!!!" And I think to myself, "Only better."


Posted by tonks_394 Jul 29th 2008

Ahhh, that was GREAT! I am super excited now! I was dreading from the interviews that this would turn in to some kind of dumb teen flick with all the talk of Romance and Humor but now I feel much better! And guys, stop freaking out about the lack of other characters in teaser. It is a TEASER. And I'm sure it was just for marketing strategy. If they show Hogwarts, Trio, Snape, ect like they've done in ALL the other trailers what are non potter fans going to think? They'll think it's the exact same thing as all the other movies. Now atleast, we know that the movies are evolving. By the way, does any one know why Dumbledore appears to be standing on a bunch of giant Crystals in the cave part?


Posted by buddika Jul 29th 2008

The trailer was soooooooooo AWESOME! I WATCHED IT THREE TIMES ALREADY! NOW IMMA WATCH IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. RUPERT AND DAN ARE SO SEXY! Barely got to see Emma/Hermione. I wish there was some romance in it, the book, and quittich! Then it would be more perfect in my eyes! But still it was really good. I really did like OOTP but i felt like it was too choopy. It needed to slow down. I hope that HBP will be much better. More expressive of feelings and love. I hope that they really make the happy scenes meaningful and the sad scenes very emotional enough to make us cry, but that's what David once said in an interview, so I'm expecting it to be great. HBP was my fav book and so is DH! Can't wait for the movie now!


Posted by JKFan5 Jul 29th 2008

i watched 600 times already i fudge love it. best trailer for a hp movie everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by Psylence6 Jul 29th 2008

I am thoroughly pleased! David Yates is changing style, and for the better!


Posted by lakewoodgirl Jul 29th 2008

Oh yeah... what was Ginny doing?! They better not mess any of her parts up! She is my fav person in the books! I AM COUNTING ON YOU BONNIE WRIGHT!!!!!!!!!


Posted by buddika Jul 29th 2008

I am very impressed with Michael's acting as Dumbledore and the young tom riddle! Dumbledore is suppose to be more gentle but also strong and controlled with his emotions. I think dumbledore was portrayed the best in this movie! well it has to be the best since he's not in the last movie. sorry for anyone who didn't read DH if I spoiled it, but I'm sure all of you have. by my earlier comment, by "the book" I meant the half blood prince book. They didn't really show where the title came from in the first place. This is the official trailer right? O_o


Posted by samlynne899 Jul 29th 2008

haha i am with my friend who doesnt really like harry, but i guess the word would be accepts it. so i told her we HAAAD to watch the trailer right away and i expected her to be oh whatever..more harry potter stuff cause that's how she usually is. but then when it ended she was like OOMG and absolutely loved it and said she cannot wait for the movie! so the trailer did make non-harry potter fans (well not obsessive fans like most people on here are) want to see the movie! so they obviously did a really good job! it looks amazing. but now she's getting annoyed with me watching it over and over and over and becoming more harry obsessed by the minute. haahahah


Posted by megblack89 Jul 29th 2008

Youtube quality sucks, I re-watched in on MSN and it was a lot better, but still neeeeed the international so I can see everyone and everything.


Posted by hpgirl_91 Jul 29th 2008

FREAKING YES IT IS AMAZING!!!!


Posted by hpgirl_91 Jul 29th 2008

and i love the boy playing little Tom Riddle! major props to him and the casting director. even creepier than i imagined. and YAY for there being over 4000 of us hp obsessed online right now- it almost feels like old times. *sigh* :D


Posted by Jess92 Jul 29th 2008

iT LOOKS amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S ALREADY OUT!!!!


Posted by Gotpotter269 Jul 29th 2008

OMG THAT WAS AMAZING!!! though, in trailers, they always show really intense/good parts of movies, so i doubt the movie will be that good, but i can hope!!!


Posted by pinkrose8190 Jul 29th 2008

THAT WAS SOOOOOO AMAZING. i might be forgeting something that happened in the book, but which part is that when Ginny is running through the field in her night gown. srry if its the obvious. but i dont remember that part in the book.


Posted by joshlhiggins Jul 29th 2008

I believe Ginny in a robe has to do with a rumor of an attack on the burrow being added to the movie. I can't believe they put Greyback in the trailer! Definitely worth the wait! :)


Posted by redheadguy719 Jul 29th 2008

did anybody else notice that at least in the memories they use a really narrow depth of field? almost everything but the people's faces are blurry.


Posted by samlynne899 Jul 29th 2008

i would say the ginny in her night gown would be when it's the attack on the burrow, but we saw that whole harry/ginny shoe lace tying picture and they said they're about to kiss, but the death eaters come in and ruin everything..and in that picture it seemed daytime and ginny was wearing clothes, not a night gown..so IDK!


Posted by lakewoodgirl Jul 29th 2008

I agree with Psylence6!


Posted by pinkrose8190 Jul 29th 2008

okay nm what i said b4 about what Ginny is doing in the field. my mind just clicked. thats the fight scene. i feel so dumb. i think i need to read the book again!!! lol


Posted by kaitLovesTheBurrow Jul 29th 2008

extremely awesome! Im proud to call myself a true HP fan!


Posted by samlynne899 Jul 29th 2008

yeah, but she wouldnt like be in a swampish looking thing in the middle of the fight scene would she? unless i forgot something in the book. i'm not quite sure what to make of it.


Posted by GrangerLaughs Jul 29th 2008

Excellent teaser trailer! I don't know if I'm going to be able to sleep now I'm soooo excited!!!!!!!! I love Dumbledore's new look. It far exceeds that in movies 3, 4 and 5. The young Tom is wonderful.....he is so creepy. Perfect!!!!

Posted by emrebekka Jul 29th 2008

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH - I love it I love it I love it - can't wait to see the whole thing!


Posted by aubrey015 Jul 29th 2008

oh my god! this trailer is really good and creepy!


Posted by hprebel311 Jul 29th 2008

yeah it's great! i think gambon might actually not infuriate me this time, even if i'm not pleased with him. i'm still going to see the mummy just to see this on the big screen. can't wait for more!!!


Posted by Rose37 Jul 29th 2008

BEST TRAILER I HAVE TO SAY, IN LIKE FOREVER!!!


Posted by gracie_lou13 Jul 29th 2008

i thought the trailer was AMAZING! i really liked the focus of it. i really like how not to much of the story was revealed...they kept it really simple and mysterious. i still think the trailer for ootp was better. actually i thought the ootp trailer was better than the ootp movie. haha. but this trailer was really good to. even though i drove myself mad waiting so long for it...its all worth it because now i am so excited for the movie. it seems like its been ages since since any harry potter related anything has been released...i feel pretty satisfied right now. this summer seems so boring compared to last summer...what with ootp and the last book coming out and everything. all we have this summer is the hbp trailer. it makes me sad in a way. oh well..i'm going to watch the trailer another thousand times before i go to sleep. this movie is going to be epic!


Posted by Hermowninny Jul 29th 2008

Hmm, it certainly surpassed my expectations...I actually LIKED it. Unlike previous trailers (which seemed too scattered) I love how this one is entirely centered on one aspect that, in a way, captures the essence of the entire novel (well, movie in this case). I'm actually somewhat looking forward to the movie now. Oh, and by the way, young Tom is perfect and Gambon's portrayal of Dumbledore thus far is pretty good.


Posted by roonilfan Jul 29th 2008

I thought Tom FREAKED when he saw the wardrobe on fire b/c all his possessions were in it. Not what I expected, but good for the trailer i guess.


Posted by nothedwig432 Jul 30th 2008

I confess myself...disappointed. I had to wait until now to see the trailer (I promised my sister I'd watch it with her), and reading all of your comments made me really excited to see it. Now that I have, though, I don't feel how I would have thought I would feel. I thought I'd feel really excited about the movie after watching this, but strangely I don't feel any more excited than I did before. Dont get me wrong, I do appreciate the artistry it took to make the trailer ---it did seem to capture the mysterious, dark aspect of HBP quite well--- but somehow something is missing from it for me. *shrugs* Despite this, I still firmly believe that HBP will be amazing. I guess this just wasn't the right trailer for me.


Posted by DeathlyHallows007 Jul 30th 2008

i actually screamed and everyone heard me screaming when that voldemort flahsed the second time watching it!!! it was really scary!


Posted by speedyra Jul 30th 2008

This was freaking amazing! Loved the intro music and the frequent flashes between frames! Also loved the young Tom Riddle he was SO creepy and just SO perfect for the part and I especially loved the flash from young TR to present day TR - AMAZING! My only complaint is that if I recall correctly the young Dumbledore was supposed to have auburn hair not black..but that's only a little detail. I can't wait to see this movie! best trailer ever!


Posted by heirtogreat1 Jul 30th 2008

i'm so pumped. this movie better make my life cause the fifth did not. 114 days. my life is on auto pilot till then.


Posted by hgshipper31 Jul 30th 2008

ok the part with ginny is when fenrir is chasing her and harry. harry is running through the corn field not ginny. also if anyone watched the mummy trailer do you realize its the same music they played for the ootp trailer? im kinda mad about that.


Posted by Catz95 Jul 30th 2008

I NEED TO SEE IT NOW OMGOMGOMGOMG I WANT MOrE ITS AMAZING MMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! ! *spazz*


Posted by Spirit Jul 30th 2008

This is so awesome! I think it was a really good teaser trailer, better than I thought it would be.


Posted by Adnan Jul 30th 2008

THAT WAS AWESOME! It was worth waiting for. Of course, they didn't give to much away, I was definately looking for a longer trailer but after seeing how Yates has filmed HBP, I have nothing more to say. It was better then I have imagined when I first read HBP. When I first learnd that David is going to direct this movie, I was a bit worred about whether he will be able to do a good job... But after watching this teaser trailer, I am now sure that David Yates was the right and perfect man for the job. Can't wait for the rest of the movie! Ohh! Man, this movie is going to rock! P.S. DID YOU SAW THE CAVE SCENE?! HOW COOL WAS THAT!?


Posted by sharkess10 Jul 30th 2008

it was so freaking good!!!!!!!!!!! little tom riddle looked creepy, the music did not help, for a second i thought that i was watching a scary movie...oh man it so good.....AWESOME....surpr isingly there was no scenes that had snape or draco in them....interesting...hop e the movie is as good as the teaser trailer :D


Posted by jakesever Jul 30th 2008

Ginny is so attractive. I'm super excited for this. I wish the trailer had at least SOME of Snape in it...you know...THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE.
