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.

Is it just me or does Dumbledore's head look too big for its body in the first photo with young Riddle? It looks like they Photoshopped Michael Gambon's head onto a body :S. Also, I'd like to add that the second photo looks almost exactly like the Dumbledore from the cover of the UK version of HBP. I approve.
oh, wow! seriously great pictures. little tom couldn't be more perfect! HBP is going to be amazing, :]
Awesome pics. Can't wait for the trailer.
Oh, wow! I like the first with young Tom, he looks so perfectly demented! I wish they had kept Dumbledore's auburn hair and eccentric robes, lol, that would've been funny. Eh, in the second, Dumbledore does remind me somewhat of Gandalf. But aaggh, I'm so excited for the trailer and movie! 115 more days!
Little Tom looks like Damien the demon child from The Omen!
*See's picture of young Tom Riddle, picture reminds him of the song "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd for some reason...
i only read hbp once and it was last year. could anyone tell me what scene or chapter that scene is where gandalf has fire around him like that? i think its the cave chapter when hes fighting the inferi but im not for sure
i think that the young tom riddle looks great and very haunting and i agree that dumbledore does look like gandalf. :)
nvm forget my last post i didnt read the description of the picture before i opened lol
OMG! !!!!! im soo excited!! this is exactly how i imagined young tom riddle =D eeek! i cant wait!!
If the release times are right for the Chicago area hp views, than that means that I won't be able to watch the trailer until tomorrow morning at the earlyest(I work), but thanks to not having to work Wedsday, I am still able to take part on the live broadcast of mugglenet. YAY ME!!!

little tom marvolo riddle!!!! rocks he has the exact evil look on his face as described by j.k rowling THIS IS GONNA BE A HECKUVA MOVIE!!! YAYY!!
awesomme. at first i thought the thumbnail of the first pic was a photo of a random girl on a set visit. and is that really michael gambon in the second one? WE GET THE TRAILER TONIGHT! after like five months of checking mugglenet, increasing in frequency from like once a week to like ten times a day.. wow they've made it into such a big deal. i've actually gone mad. I cant believe we're actually going to see an actual piece of VIDEO FOOTAGE from the actual movie! yeah thats what happens when you keep fans in the dark for so long.
DOES ANYONE HAVE AN IDEA WHAT TIME IT SHOULD BE RELEASED AROUND?

LOL wow. I really like the picture at the orphanage, but the one of Gandalf - I mean Dumbledore with the fire is pretty bad. =P
Awesome. This looks like it is going to be a good movie.
Win.
You talking about the movie jkfan?
sorry, i meant the trailer. thet said it would bhe released sometime today. i was just wondering if anyone had an idea when
Ok, two things: I think Dumbledore in the orphanage just looks totally wrong to me - hello, what's with the beard? And gee whiz am I excited for the trailer! And of course the movie! Yay! Everyone sing along with me: Weeeeeee! :D
Nice scarf Dumbledore.
Riddle is absolutely great! But Dumbledore looks a little to young in that picture, doesn't he? Well, who cares, what is Gandalf doing in the second picture??? That looks like 95% like Gandalf, 5% like Dumbledore! Weird.
YES!!!! The orphanage scene is in. Wooooo-hoooooo!!!
I agree with 7thhorcrux! I'm so glad that Michael Gambon (credit also going to David Yates as well) seems to have FINALLY understood Dumbledore. These photos look great and Ralph Fiennes' nephew looks like he's gonna rock young Riddle! One more thing: I like Dumbledore's suit! Maybe it's a darker purple (plum) and it's in a dark hallway so maybe it looks black. Or it could just be my phone... At any rate, I will be on my computer @ 9pm!
Dumbledore looks so alike Gandalf I'm half-expecting him to yell out "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" to the Inferi.
omg!!!!! orphanage scene is in!!! YAAY! ye sdumbledore looks like gandalf, but hey i dont really mind how he looks as long as the scene is in there and younger version of voldy is just PERFECT!! im going on youtube and seeing if the trailers on there a bit earlier ... heheh
These are the greatest. Pictures. EVER.
::lol @ browncoat:: I know! But I'm so glad that he seems to have calmed the heck down and started to be Dumbledore, so I'll take it. And isn't Dumbledore supposed to have shorter hair/beard and they're an auburn color? Again people! It's a gloomy hallway! Things appear to look darker!
Oh! I feel so bad! Riddle is so cute! Just think what it would be like if he had a family! I just want to adopt him! I bet he wouldn't have become he-who-must-not-be-named if he was loved. :( And he wouldn't end up looking like a snake either! He would look nice. I feel so sorry for him. I wish someone had loved him.
OK, that is one creepy lookin' kid...
Guys, they said that the movie had been narrowed down to two or three memories including this one and teenage riddle which may be when he asks Slughorn about Horcruxes and that's it so most likely either No Morfin Gaunt and no Hepzibah Smith.
I have to say that I am quite impressed with theese I, they are just like I pictured in the book :)
Oh my god!! I can't wait to see the trailer! But I also know that I'm going to be sad because than I am going to be so excited to see the film and he only is going to be realesed in November 20... =( But omfg this pictures are totally amazing!!! I can't wait for 9 p.m! =D=D=D=D=D=D=D
Browncoat- HAHAHAHAH that
OMG young tom riddle looks great. Exactly how i imagined him! :O i can't wait for the teaser trailer this film looks quite good so far.
This is exciting. I want to be in the test audience!
You guys need to stop complaining. There are more than likely reasons for Dumbledore looking how he does. 1 - Auburn hair probably just didn't work on Michael Gambon. 2 - His plum suit would be too silly and distracting for such a dark and serious scene. I prefer this way, for the movie. Also, Tom looks like Tom. Perfect! And, quit complaining about the second picture, that one is 100% awesome.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These are the best pictures yet!! Why couldn't we have gotten these in the beggining? W/e but I absolutley love the one of Riddle in the orphange with Dumbledore behind him. Yea Dumbledore looks so much like the caveman from those Gieco adds!
Little Tom Riddle was perfect. I am so excited about the trailer tonight. I am glad that at least they didn't cut out these parts in the movie. I listened to the 7th book and wonder how Bill and Fleur will be brought into the last movie since they cut them out of this one.
This is sooo coool =D
Excuse me. WHERE is Dumbledore's velvet purple pimp suit? This movie is dead to me.
riddle looks awesome but dumbledore isnt quite as good. he doesnt have the plum suit but riddle is just awesome
Finally some REAL pics! I agree that dumbledore looks alot like gandalf. its as if they copied & pasted gandalf into the pic lol, looks good though... young tom riddle looks spot on, and the orphanage resembles what i had in my mind. whos the actor for the younger dumbledore? Or is it Michael Gambon?
Dumbledore reminds me of Sirius a little in the first pick, But they still look awesome.
Ahhh, amazing news! There's nowhere else besides Mugglenet and Twilight Source to spend my time. Now if only 9 o'clock could come sooner. Mugglent, your stupid ads are giving me viruses. Couldn't you slim the ads down?
IMO, the pics are awesome. The young Tom Riddle is just creepy looking, so that makes it a winner!! So they had to change a few details, no big deal as long as they stick with the general storyline overall, I don't care!!! Can't wait for tonight.
the only thing that bothers me is dumbledore in the first pic... wasn't his hair supposed to be long and auburn? OH WELL! I'M NOT COMPLAINING! these pics are AMAZINGGGGG!! and tom reminds me of toby from sweeney todd... :] I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED
