Great!
That's pretty cool.
Great trailer. It's almost painful to watch trailers at that point knowing we have to wait so long to see the whole movie.
that was good, I guess. I have to go back now so I can watch it the usual amount of times and judge better. oh and can we have an MC with this please?
Nice trailer, however, I still wonder if that is indeed the scene at the end of the movie with Harry/Snape, how can he see Harry and where is the cloak?
As with all trailers, it gets me excited for the movie. I am surprised of the camera angle they provided in that trailer for the lighting of Hagrids Hut. Snape doesn't seem to react like you would expect a teacher to protecting the Hogwarts grounds. It is a small snippet so maybe I'm cherry picking..... but.... I mean, we know why he doesn't, but the non book reading movie watchers don't (or shouldn't). I do like the pointing out of Harry being the "chosen one". I hope they explain that to the viewer of how it was Voldemort choosing Harry over Neville that sealed his fate. That explanation is certainly overdue.
weeeeeeeeee I'm so excited!
I know, dizzyshar! OMH I'm soooooooooo excited!!! I still think the other one was better though.
Woot! *goes to watch* Very nice, more of the same with a bit longer so you can understand them better. But the language is very confusing..
So did Andrew lose the bet?
I don't want to watch anymore trailers! It feels like I've watched the entire movie already. I want some things to still be a surprise.
Most of it is from previous trailers but a bit longer. But it was interesting still to watch.
OMG wow.....4th trailer....It was amazing ... esp the millenium bridge bit bit and the pulling of the hair...Who was being pulled?? I think a Live Muggle Cast is in order!! Btw can't wait to get a HD or High res copy of this!! I'm too excited XD
AMAZING trailer. Hopefully we'll get a high res version and without any japanesse announcer and text. ^_^ Oh and PLEASE have a live MuggleCast tonight!
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great stuff,, gotta like the apparition effect:)
Harry isnt under the cloak in the movie. When snape is telling him to SHH and says "its going to be alright Potter." then he goes and kills Dumbledore and grabs malfoy and leaves. I love the part when Dumbledore says, "People usually vomit on their first time!" it actually sounds humorious.
By George, I think he's finally got it - Michael Gambon is finally acting like Dumbledore. Hooray! Maybe I won't utterly despise him after this movie, it looks friggin good! Only maybe though...
AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! so good. "well that was fun. most people throw up the first time." so funny. this looks so good. but it still just makes me mad we still have such a wait....
Wow that was really good i liked that trailer the best out of all of them!!!!!
Oooh wow! New scenes! Loved it!
FRICKYEAH! this is going to be and epic movie. lol @ ron in the quidditch hoop. :p
Well I guess non book readers (those who just watch the movies) will know that Snape isn't teaching potions. I think they should have left that out of the trailer. It's suppose to be a surprise. I hope we learn more about Neville's story in this movie we've only got bits and pieces. It's time we see how close he came to being "the chosen one."
Cool. Like it. New trailer in April or May, though.

Looks like it will be good even if it doesn't follow the book exactly I'm definately excitted now... But not till summer!! :(

Nice. But is anyone as annoyed as i am about them not putting the Half Blood Price BOOK into the trailers???? I mean if some (stupid) people are watching the movies without reading the books, they will wonder why on earth is th movie called HALF BLOOD PRINCE!
YAY AMAZING - hAven't watched it yet :P
Watched it - not so good at quality cause of those thingsaround the trailer. But the Movie WILL BE AWSOME .. hope it'll be the best of 2009
best trailer i've seen so far.
This was so much better than any of the trailers for the U.S. Go Japan!
Wow... Daniel was very unenthusiastic in the beggining... xD
I'm not sure, maybe someone can check but at 1:26 are Harry and Dumbledore disapparating in Hogwarts (like one the balcony or wherever). I"m not sure if that is hogwarts but we all know you can't disapparate inside of Hogwarts grounds, which could make the final scene difficult b/c in the book they fly on brooms to the astronomy tower and that's when things get sticky. so tell me what you guys thinks!
AWESOME!!!! I just want to see the freakin' MOVIE now!!! I remember every single scene that was in the trailer from the book...So I can't wait to see what else they kept in...Screw the battle it's not that big of a deal and it was more of a fight anyways. And I'm pretty sure there is fighting in there. I just really want to see this movie!!!!!!! I love Dumbledore's line, "...most people vomit the first time." HILARIOUS!!
OMG!! THIS TRAILER LOOKS POSTIVELY AMAZING!! But I have yet to see it because I'm currently at school and the computers won't let me see it!!!! GRR!!!! I look forward to hearing Dumbledore's "vomit" line in the trailer. I assume he's talking about Apparation. ;)
i don't know if i can really enjoy this trailer. the japanese voiceover was distracting me from what was happening in the trailer.... :-\
I am so glad to understand enough Japanese to understand the trailer!! YEAH MAN!! LAST TIME WAS JAPANESE AS WELL!!
OMG wow.....4th trailer....It was amazing ... esp the millenium bridge bit bit and the pulling of the hair...Who was being pulled?? I think a Live Muggle Cast is in order!! Btw can't wait to get a HD or High res copy of this!! I'm too excited XD Nice you put the trailer up here too!!
OH. MY. GOSH!!!!!!!! I was completely freaking out by the end of that trailer! I CANNOT WAIT! It's going to be AWESOME! I don't even care that it was a low-quality trailer! I really liked getting the insight to Harry collecting Slughorn's memory, and it was cool that we got to see Snape and Mr. Weasley! I CANNOT WAIT!!!! :]
Loved it! There are better but this one gives more of an insite of things. But anywayyz, does anyone understand wat Hermione is saying at exactly 1 min and 10 sec? She's tlkin really fast so I can't understand her much.
iwantorlando05 - I totally agree with you about the scenes in the trailer sounding exactly like the book! That makes me very happy, and also, from what Eric has said, it sounds like it is pretty true to the book. :]
If you can translate it go to http://dotsub.com/transcr ibe/e4765dc9-aca7-45c0-aa 9a-aa73b6d7c1de and transcribe it. Thanks!!!
Huh. For some reason i don't have chills running up my back from this trailer. Which is odd, because i was pretty much jumping out of my seat at the previous trailers. Maybe it's cause the narrator voice guy is in Japanese, so i can't understand it. Anyway, its still amazing! I can't wait for the english version! (:
I am so PISSED that I can't understand Japanesse. It is SOOOOO screwed up! Someone needs to translate the captions cause my computer doesn't get sound. Rellay fantastic trailer though, and Daniel may have just been tired at the beggingi when he was talking or whaever.
I love the music too, as always.
Harry and Ginny kiss !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BTW Sorry about my horrible spelling before
WOW we got new stuff that we haven't seen before, it is so exciting :-) YAY can't wait for mugglecast tonight
