USA Today reveals new HBP pics, trailer preview
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.

Okay, it's official. I have completely lost it! Inside I am absolutely bursting with excitement! The movie seems real now, and what's more, it seems like it's going to be AWESOME!!! And omg, I LOVE the pic with Tom Riddle! He looks just as I would have pictured him! Hooray!


Posted by manchesterutd Jul 28th 2008

ZOMG!!!! I am so giddy right now. I was just jumping up and down in my seat when I saw the first pic with young Tom Riddle!! Dumbledore looks young :P lol and young Tom Riddle looks creepy. let's hope he acts well too. my only complaint in the second pic is that he looks too alert and healthy when he's supposed to be sick and just about dead from the potion he just drank. oh well, at least we have proof of a moviw being made. :P :D

OMG OMG OMG! LESS THAN 24 HOURS NOW! GREAT PICTURES! CANNOT WAIT FOR THE TEASER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!


Posted by Grnd3lw4ld_ Jul 28th 2008

These movies would be so much better if they found someone good to play dumbledore


Posted by MidwestMuggle Jul 28th 2008

Pictures are nice even thought dumbledore is in a suit(bizarre)The HBP is one of my favorite books so hopefully they dont screw up the movie and i doubt they can since its that effing good,BRING ON THE TAILER!!!! Bong sewer


Posted by jbloom09 Jul 28th 2008

The second picture has a very Gandalf-fighting-the-Balr og feel to it. He even looks like Ian McKellan in the picture.


Posted by marcelapalomo Jul 28th 2008

Bloody hell!!!!!!!!! It's really happening! Oh my God!!! I'm so so so happy!


Posted by LunyWeasel Jul 28th 2008

Yeah I have to agree that the new Dumbledore just isn't as good as the original. He's too fierce or something. He never smiles or gets across those sweet moments with Harry that are in the book. The first Dumbledore had that twinkle in his eye, which I think made him much closer to the character Jo invented.


Posted by ashurlito Jul 28th 2008

SOME OF YOU GUYS NEED TO SHUT UP! u gusy complain about everything oh no hes not wearing his suit AT LEAST THIS SCENE IS IN IT I BET IF IT WASNT U GUYS WOULD SAY I DONT CARE HOW IT IS AS LONG AS ITS IN! u guys should be happy we are getting news not complain of EVERY single little detail I IMAGINED THE ORPHANAGE AS DARKER THEN THAT ACTUALLY! we all imagined it differently!


Posted by hpninjaskills Jul 28th 2008

"I am sorry to say, but I think that The dark Knight will bet The Harry Potter and the half blood prince, Hands down!!!"


Posted by pottercullen3 Jul 28th 2008

Young Tom Riddle is AMAZING! He looks like a younger version of the actor from COS. I'm curious to see how teen Tom looks!


Posted by loverofron Jul 28th 2008

yeah those are good but i can't wait for the trailer i am so excited for this movie ahhhhhh trailer come on hurry along


Posted by marcelapalomo Jul 28th 2008

guys!! STOP COMPLAINING!! everythi ng is just perfect, awesome!!!!!!!!!! dumb ledore is great, stop talking about him!! HALF BLOOD PRINCE WILL BE THE BEST MOVIE OF ALL


Posted by hpninjaskills Jul 28th 2008

What, I totally wrote stuff after I quoted this: "I am sorry to say, but I think that The dark Knight will bet The Harry Potter and the half blood prince, Hands down!!!" ANYWAY - yeah, I sort of agree. But just on the opening weekend. I think HBP will beat it overall. :) Gosh, I'm so happy we got these pictures just before the trailer! Makes me appreciate the fact that I have the internet .. =P ashurlito - AGREED! Well said.


Posted by hpninjaskills Jul 28th 2008

Look at the resemblance of the HBP UK Cover to Dumbledore's Inferi / Fire picture: [ http://i34.tinypic.com/29 c0uq. jpg ] Remove the spaces. It's almost identical IMO, except Michael isn't wearing glasses. :(


Posted by kreacher888 Jul 28th 2008

i took a look at young Voldemort and got chills.


Posted by Sally Jul 28th 2008

plz someone tell me the trailer is going to up in 10minutes (till 12:00)


Posted by smileyseany Jul 28th 2008

yeah really. come on. if you're going to complain how bout you go up there and do it? then we can make rude comments about you. just because he's different doesn't mean he's worse. i always thought of dumbledore as somewhat a combination of the two anyways.


Posted by lupus24 Jul 28th 2008

YAY!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!! I'M SO INSANELY EXCITED!!!!!


Posted by The_Oddball Jul 28th 2008

Is Dumbledore's hair dark brown?! AHHH WB CAN NEVER GET IT RIGHT!!!!! Shouldn't it be auburn! Grrrr, I have given up. Really I have. The films suck. Simple as that. (even though I will still do my duty as a fan and see it the day)


Posted by Braves841 Jul 28th 2008

lay off dumbledore! richard harris died so we cant have him back besides i dont think hed have been great for HBP he seemed to how do i put it nicely..old..the newer dumbledore is more how i think of him older but still powerful you know thats the way it should be..besides no1 can be perfect to exactly how jo imagined them


Posted by ashurlito Jul 28th 2008

Posted by bubblegum555 Jul 28th 2008

for those of us overseas and unable to work out time zones (so confusing) what time is it in the US now, as in... how many hours till the teaser??


Posted by pumpkinpasties11 Jul 28th 2008

whoa. those pix are the best i've seen so far. they only make me more excited and less worried they're going to ruin it. i can't wait to see what the inferi look like.


Posted by Sally Jul 28th 2008

if tomorrow is at 9pm, the teaser trailer will be in 22 torturing hours I HATE with a passion the people who made the decision to give "the teaser trailer" by AUGUST.. BY THIS MONTH WE SHOULD HAVE HAD THE REAL TRAILER....


Posted by GibbyPotter Jul 28th 2008

For those of you that have been asking, the trailer will go online at 9PM ET/ 6PM PT time tomorrow. For British fans that means that you will have to stay up late and watch it at 2:00 am on WEDNESDAY morning. US EAST COAST: 9:00PM TUE US CENTRAL: 8:00PM TUE US MOUNTAIN: 7:00PM TUE US PACIFIC: 6:00PM TUE BRITAIN: 2:00 AM ON WEDNESDAY AUSTRALIA: DEPENDS BUT SYDNEY TIME AT 11:00 AM ON WEDNESDAY


Posted by Grnd3lw4ld_ Jul 28th 2008

Gambon is a decent actor but hes a terrible dumbledore, I dont know how you can dispute that. Everything doesnt have to be perfect, but i think it would be nice to see more effort put into the movies. Like getting simple sht right


Posted by pumpkinpasties11 Jul 28th 2008

bubblegum555...it is 10:30pm in Colorado right now (central USA)


Posted by Romilda Jul 28th 2008

Since when is Dumbledore's hair supposed to be that dark? I could've sworn it was supposed to be more reddish (not bright red, obviously, but reddish brown?)...


Posted by GibbyPotter Jul 28th 2008

bubblegum555: You can tell me where you live and I can figure out when it will come out your time. Or you can just look at my previous comment and check if it is there. I live in California and it is 9:35 pm Monday night.


Posted by Leslie33 Jul 28th 2008

Boy the Kid who plays the young Tom Riddle has that cold, "get away from me" expression down pat. Man, that just sends chills down your spine. Seriously, he has that Sociopath look about him.


Posted by GibbyPotter Jul 28th 2008
