USA Today reveals new HBP pics, trailer preview
A new article just released by USA Today reveals two awesome new pictures!- Young Tom Riddle at the orphanage with Dumbledore in the background
- Dumbledore creating a firestorm to fend off the Inferi
The newspaper also revealed lots of big notes about the film:
The trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince arrives today online and makes its debut in theaters Friday before The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Film editing is complete, says director David Yates, and studio officials will soon see the finished product.
Then next month, test audiences will get a sneak peek — something that doesn't seem to faze Yates in the least. "That's an incredibly useful process," he says.
The big reveal in the trailer (and in this exclusive photo from it): a glimpse of the young Tom Riddle, who grows up to become the wizarding world's most malevolent force, Lord Voldemort.

Awesome!
Second pic looks like gandalf
What happened to Dumbledore's eccentric suit? :(
BEST PICS YET!!
beggers cant be choosers kerplookie... and this is sooo cool...bring on the trailer!!!
Oh my god. That made my night. Those are both AWESOME pictures!
OH MY FREAKING GOSH. I WILL TRY TO STAY CALM AS I SHOUT AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS! I am in super shock & delight right now. Teaser trailer out tomorrow, two new OUTSTANDING pictures! What could else could I ask for? (the whole movie, of course) Man, this beats any feeling I've ever had. This makes me cringe with excitement, makes me speechless & wish that my sister, who is in Basic Training in the Army & is missing HP more than anything (she says in her letters to me), is here with me right now to experience this. WOW. I am ... so happy. :) I might sound crazy for being excited over these two pictures, but wow. =]
Dumbledore's beard in the first pic (with young Riddle) looked too dark. And he wasn't wearing the plum-colored suit. Still, Riddle looked just the way I imagined him to look.
trailer! excitedness. where is it?
OOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMGGGGGG GGGG THIS IS FREAKIN AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Little Tom Riddle is perfect. I am eager to see the teenage/young adult Riddle though! That picture of Dumbledore looks awfully like Gandalf, haha.
little riddle... looks amazingly perfect! he looks sooo evil right there, but also so depressed... poor little tommy!
tis awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*officially freakin out right now* best hbp pictures i've seen!! that young riddle is scaaaaary... I WANT THE TRAILER!!!
wow, cool pictures! i like the little tom riddle. :)
Young Tom Riddle looks perfect, I hope he has a decent length scene.
HE FINALLY LOOKS LIKE DUMBLEDORE!!! I can't wait to see the inferi scene in the trailer!!!!
Great pictures !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Movie should last at least 160 minutes...so every character receive good scenes
Lol Dumbledore looks like the caveman from Geico ads.
Wow! The pic of young Tom Riddle looks perfect - he looks a lot like the guy they had play the not-as-young Tom Riddle in CoS. One complaint - it looks darker than the scene was in the book, but I don't think we can be surprised about that. As for the second pic - does Dumbledore remind anyone else very strongly of Gandalf? The hair and the beard are a lot the same.
Okay. Pissed off now. I've been optimistic about this whole thing, but that picture with young Dumbledore... WTH?!?
I hate time zones! When today is the trailer coming out? Anyone know?
Wow I really love the picture of Tom Riddle!
That little Riddle is perfect! So psyched for the trailer! Why does it say it's coming out "today"? Isn't it debuting tomorrow at 9pm?
This will definitely keep me excited until the trailer! :)
well bubblegum555 if you live in the northeast in the USA im assumming it comes out at 12:00 tonight!hopefully for the whole USA!Hopefully!!cant wait!
member_of_SPEW - I agree. The orphange looks a LOT darker. But I like the tone of it. Pretty nice, pretty decent. Ahhhhh! They have a wardrobe! Does that mean they're going to put the part where DD sets it on fire in?! OMG OMG! I hope so. *crosses fingers* I honestly think that this movie will not be a disappointment. Let's just hope it won't be. :D
Oh gosh. Amazing pictures. He is just perfect!
Beyond_The_Veil: it's not young dumbledore... it's young tom riddle... LunyWeasel: I think the article comes out tomorrow, so it says that it's coming out "today" meaning tomorrow...
The Orphanage looks PERFECT! Just like I imagined it!! Who else thought Dumbledore looked like Gandalf in the second picture? XD
Yates need this one to be a succes, for fans and for Warner
Sorry to both the mugglenet.com cast and wb, but these pics don't inpress me, in the least!!!
Oooo! Now I'm getting excited for this trailer!!!! Little Tom looks PERFECT! I can't wait to see teenaged Tom Riddle, though--he better be as gorgeous as I imagine him! ;) But, hp_rox_my_sox15, a younger Dumbledore IS in the pic with young Tom Riddle, but I think he looks fine.
Riddle looks exactly how I imagined. ...and Dumbledore is SO freakin' awesome!
I kind of imagined young tom riddle more mischevious and more like a kid with dreams.... not really like a suicidal crazy... and the dumbledore picture looks kinda elfish to me.....
I can't wait to see the Inferi. I bet they're wicked creepy looking. Does anyone know how long this trailer is supposed to be? I hope we get a barrage of other new pics and clips once it's released. But I think that would be "optimistic to the point of foolishness" since it took this long to get just the trailer.
The picture of Dumbledore in the inferi scene looks quite a bit like the UK cover of HBP! Brilliant.
I love the orphanage picture! Young Tom Riddle is perfect! I can't wait for the trailer tomorrow!
omg omg omg omg omg OMG ! this is like the best picture so far, i've been waiting for this. young tom riddle... mhm. he looks just like big tom riddle, and im quiet happy about it. and Dumbledore... omg he looks AWESOME. I just cant wait until this movie ! and I hope I get a chance to go on the harry potter movie screening xD

LOL...texas_hammer! Dumbledore does look a little like the caveman in the Geico ads! That's so funny! Young Tom Riddle looks so evil. He is perfect!
The Riddle/Dumbledore picture is BREATHTAKING. It sent me an idea, like a flash of the trailer in its entirety. I felt like I knew exactly what the trailer would be like, every flash of image and sound. But, you know, it was just a feeling.
Oh my bloody gosh! Is that GANDALF (bold, slanted, and underlined) in the background?!?!? I thought he was dead! Cause didn't he play Dumbledore before his sad and untimely death? What's he doing in the background, and why isn't he the Dumbledore they're using now instead of the midget Dumbledore that they have now that has no idea how to act like Dumbledore??
I like both pictures, this is something that I imagen when I read the book. I hope the movie is as good as all the pictures and news we have been reading and listing until now.
