Japanese Potter fansite Pottermania has posted photos from what appears to be a brand new trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. In them (no video... yet), we see several new scenes: Harry and Slughorn enjoying a party, Harry and Dumbledore in the cave, Bellatrix attacking Hagrid's Hut, and Snape on the Astronomy tower with Harry. What's more, Portkey.it is reporting that the last full trailer for Half-Blood Prince is expected to premiere in the US this Friday in front of Inkheart. Could this Japanese trailer be one we'll see? Please note that this is just a rumor for now, but we're currently trying to confirm with Warner Brothers. We'll keep you updated! Thanks to Peyton for the tip.

Another trailer? Thats weird.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 13:59:56

AAAhhhH!!!! lol. Im excited. I wanna see Snape and Harry on the Astronomy tower. Im gonna wait till the trailer to see the photos, I think. Now Im considering going to see Inkheart. This will bring the movie business, because I thought the movie wouldnt do that great, compared to the gross of City of Ember and stuff. Im excited! OK, Ill look at the photos!!!

Yeah, MuggleNet is not loading graphics, just text, for me. Is anyone else having this problem?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 14:06:20

I think its too soon for another trailer *ducks and covers* Im just afraid that because the film has been ready for so long and because we have so much time till July and we are putting so much pressure on it, we will now begin to get the whole movie in little clips like we did and GoF. And you can choose not to watch it, but it still ruins it. Is anyone else afraid of this?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 14:10:53

Look at the Snape and Harry pic on the Astronomy tower. It looks like Snape is "shushing" Harry (put his fingers to his lips). I really hope this isnt true. But I guess it would be more difficult to explain that Snape is innocent in the next film, and to explain how Harry was frozen.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 14:12:36

Oooohhh! I am excited to see it, but I am kind of sad because it would be the last trailer we get until the movie actually comes out! That would be a 6 month wait until the movie! I would rather get this last trailer sometime in like, March or May... but this all could be a rumor, so you never know.

To fix the NO IMAGES LOADING thing: Just click another layout in the top right of the page.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 14:26:16

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 14:29:45

I wish the movie would just come out!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 14:42:14

Im surprised that were getting another trailer.........not complaining but its just weird.... Also, saw this article on Leaky a couple of hours ago and the pics are alot clearer here then on Leaky.....

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 14:45:28

Im sorry, this has nothing to do with the trailer, but MuggleNet wont load past blue text on black on any of the computers in my house... is that just me??

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 14:47:15

oh cool!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 14:47:38

Hope its good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, I hope theres a new trailer!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 15:08:12

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 15:17:43

Did anyone notice that they are releasing these trailers in front of Brendan Fraser movies?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 15:32:50

??? O.o Im just in shock like another *possible* trailer already? Not that I object to it but it seems I will have seen at least 10 mins of this movie already if this one comes out now.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 15:43:33

i hope it comes out here. i wants to see it.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 15:46:05

There better be a new trailer because W.B knows they screwed up when they pushed back Harry Potter and releasing trailers is the only way to keep rabid Harry Potter fans from tearing down their studio !!!! (BTW 2 energy drinks and four chocolate bars for lunch= bad idea) (BTW2 Mugglnet is being sorta screwy, I had to put my login in four times before it accepted, and I wasnt typing it wrong or anything)

Oddly enough, they almost look fake.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 17:21:42

Snape is shushing Harry.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 17:50:45

hm....thats interesting...

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 18:14:25

With that last picture of snape and Harry I dont think it looks like the top of the astronomy tower. It looks like it might be the boys bathroom. Also snape isnt looking at Harry when hes telling someone to be quiet it looks like hes saying it to someone else. Maybe Moaning Myrtle? Anyway its just a theory and I cant wait for the next trailer when it come out!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 18:58:06

Why in the world is Snape shushing Harry?? This is my first post since the news that Potter was pushed back... I want the trailer!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 19:05:09

I need the trailer like I need chocolate!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 19:14:13

hes shushing harry because hes about to go up to kill well you know

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 19:18:54

Like everyone else, Im looking forward to another trailer release. I wish I was better at Japanese so I could get some more info. on this, but alas...I need to study more and get cracking on the kanji! >.< Anyway, Im really excited about this, though I am slightly worried that we might get too much of the movie before its released, like with what happened with GoF. Oh, well, well just have to see how this all plays out. On a completely different note, I find it interesting that HBP in Japan is translated to Mysterious or Enigmatic Prince. It actually seems -slightly- more fitting...

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 19:24:43

But snape isnt meant to be able to see him is he?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 19:45:12

altho i like seeing pix of the new movie i really wish theyd stop leaking...by the time the movie comes out we would have seen every frame!!! :D

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 20:05:45

Only if you can out it in order! And shouldnt Harry be in his Invisiblilty Cloak? ~Girl in Love

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 20:16:16

During the death scene, Harry isnt wearing his Invisibility Cloak, he is just below the scene in the little cranny. Also, Snapes shushing is an addition (a brilliant one too, incidentally). Snape is telling Harry to be quiet and basically that everything is going to be okay, so Harry listens to him and sort of trust him. Snape then goes back up, kills Dumbledore, and walks off with Draco. Harry, even more infuriated (with both Dumbledores murder AND the fact that Snape blatantly lied to him), storms after him and thus the "FIGHT BACK, YOU COWARD!" line ensues

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 20:35:50

How do you know this? ~Girl in Love

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 20:58:22

this is wonderful news!!! i was planning on seeing inkheart on saturday. now i have something else to look forward to. although i went to see twilight with the hopes of an HP trailer but that didnt happen so ill just keep my fingers crossed and hope i see the trailer.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 21:22:10

Fia (Girl in Love): bucfanatic99 knows this (as I do) because he has read and listened to the reports from the test screenings of Half-Blood Prince and knows the plot of the film, the additions, exclusions, etc, etc. Hes absolutely correct btw :)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 21:26:56

I, for one, really hope that this new trailer is a good one, because the others have been complete stinkers. OH, and btw, was I the only one who immediatley thought of the song "Lovers in Japan"? XD

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 21:34:55

I REALLY WANT THIS TRAILER!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 21:43:14

CRAP! Now, I know how the end of HBP is!! This stinks!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-18 22:42:23

Hagrids Hut? I think this must be the Burrow.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-19 00:36:07

No ellenred, this is ALSO gonna be Hagrids Hut that catches on fire... while Harry is battling Snape

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-19 01:06:42

More pics of this japanese trailer over at hpana.com for anyone whos interested. Its mostly stuff weve seen but there is a lot more of slughorn, a new shot of Draco, and more of the lake scene. I am SO excited for this movie, seriously, these trailer are horrible and mean. We shouldnt have 3 full length trailers out and still almost 200 days left before the movie releases!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-19 03:48:57

Why doesnt some one from Japan hurry up and record the trailer and put it online!!!! I NEED A NEW TRAILER!!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-19 10:02:36

Come on would it kill ya to post a warning before telling us the ending of the movie. I thought the picture was weird but I didnt need to know the storyline. Ahh well 178 more days to go and here comes another trailer thats just torture ...I hope after the many screenings and time they had that they make this the best movie yet though Im already a bit put off by the changes theyve obviuosly made to the death scene and the PG rating hmmm

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-19 11:22:36

Ok, I sooo need to re-read the books before they come out in theaters! B/c I soo dont remember that part w/Ron lying on the floor and Harry beside him.... plus, I cant wait for clips of the movie to be coming out and possibly a new trailer? Cant wait for June! :)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-19 11:33:39

When ron is laying on the floor that is when he drank the Poison that was set out for Dumbledore. Slugurn gave it too him to calm his nerves after be given an antidote to the strong Love Potion that was intended for Harry.. Also i want to add that the way they are doing Snapes part in here is great if not better than the book. He is clearly trying to protect Harry from being caught by the Death Eaters and taken away.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-19 17:21:33

i want need need need a new trailer right now at this very minnute!!! uhg i want HBP to come out

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-19 18:31:49

I just need a new freaking trailer. Who cares where from.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-20 05:34:18

I saw the trailer the other night. It was on when they were airing Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Too bad I didnt have a vcr or any digital recording device hooked up when it came on. Ill try to find it on a Japanese forum somewhere.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-20 08:00:43

kcsega have you really seen the new trailer and not the old one? how did you see it? Are you in Japanese or a Japanese?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-20 13:41:27

hahaha snape shushing harry. xD it reminds me of those theatre things that tell you to turn off your cell phone x) i have no idea where theyd put snape shushing harry, it seems kind of random? especially since MN is claiming its on the astronomy tower when he does that. seems more at the time in class when harrys like "theres no need to call me sir, professor" and then snape shushes him XD that would be a good place... anyways so excited for the trailer, i hope it comes out soon! (:

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-20 20:15:52

ZOMG IM SO EXCITED... why does Japan get the trailer before us???

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-21 17:29:31

At long last, something with the actual "Half-Blood Prince" in it. If this film doesnt have WAY more Snape, Im gonna scream. VIVA LA SEVERUS!!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-22 08:54:55

I am a manager at a movie theater and our trailer list came out and there is not attached trailer on ink heart and there is not harry potter trailer scheduled this week on any of the movies. Sorry to let people down. I cant wait for this movie to come out

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-22 11:46:39

I cant believe Im saying this but I DONT WANT A NEW TRAILER!!! Firstly, they will prolong my agony for a very long wait.. Secondly, well be getting clips to puzzle together to make the movie like what they did with GoF where there were a lot of clips released..

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 03:50:56

Yeah. I did see the new trailer. I live in Tokyo, Japan.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 23:46:53

The previous posters are right, the announcer speaks really fast and its kind of hard to understand him. I might give it another crack later on, but Im nowhere near fluent and I cant read the kanji. However, the title is interesting. Instead of referencing a "Half-Blood Prince," they refer to a "Nazo" Prince. "Nazo" means "riddle," "enigmatic," or "mysterious" in Japanese. Does anyone know if this is how they refer to the the sixth book in Japan, as in "Harry Potter and the Enigmatic Prince?"

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-24 01:44:03

In Japan, they refer to the half blood prince as "han-junketsu no prinsu" or in English "the half pure blood prince". The name of the book is not, however, Harry Potter and the Half-blood prince. The title is "Harry Potter and the Enigmatic Prince". The reason I was told is that they they changed it because parents here would be less inclined to purchase a book for children whose title has a topic in it such as "half-blood".
