Japanese Half-Blood Prince trailer now online
Japanese Half-Blood Prince trailer now online The Half-Blood Prince trailer that we told you about on Sunday has made its way online in video form (finally!) via YouTube. You can check it out at the "read more" link below!

The video still has the Japanese narration, so don't expect the wonderful quality of the officially released trailers. You can view it right here. Thanks to Chris and Penny for the tip!

TRANSLATION: Are you fluent in the Japanese language? We're looking for a translation of the voice over in the trailer. If you can write one for us, send it in to tips at staff dot mugglenet dot com. Thanks!

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who sent in a translation! Overall most of you had similar translations, so here is the culmination of what you've sent in. Thanks to Sana, Cassia, Shona, Kristi, and Yukina!


0:15: Now the climax begins!

0:30: As Voldemort gains power, Hogwarts invites a man who holds a vital piece of information.

0:48: What was Dumbledore’s true reason for bringing Slughorn back? / Dumbledore's goal is... / And Dumbledore’s true intention...?

1:25: The key lies in the past.

1:38: Will Harry be able to unlock the truth?

1:44: And what about the fate of the world? Let the final battle begin!

1:53: The sixth installment in the fantasy series that has gripped the world, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, opens this summer.

Great!


Posted by Collx3sHP Jan 23rd 2009

That's pretty cool.


Posted by Colibri Jan 23rd 2009

Great trailer. It's almost painful to watch trailers at that point knowing we have to wait so long to see the whole movie.


Posted by tiassa Jan 23rd 2009

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?


Posted by dizzyshar Jan 23rd 2009

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?


Posted by u2sarajevo Jan 23rd 2009

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!


Posted by lookatme7 Jan 23rd 2009

I know, dizzyshar! OMH I'm soooooooooo excited!!! I still think the other one was better though.


Posted by evanna11 Jan 23rd 2009

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..


Posted by Jimmy_D Jan 23rd 2009

So did Andrew lose the bet?


Posted by jakesever Jan 23rd 2009

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.


Posted by Jimmy_D Jan 23rd 2009

Most of it is from previous trailers but a bit longer. But it was interesting still to watch.


Posted by HPALI Jan 23rd 2009

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


Posted by leocastro Jan 23rd 2009

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!


Posted by JACK5555 Jan 23rd 2009

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by tvh33 Jan 23rd 2009

great stuff,, gotta like the apparition effect:)


Posted by robbyrabbit06 Jan 23rd 2009

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.


Posted by Meret Jan 23rd 2009

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...


Posted by hprebel311 Jan 23rd 2009

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....


Posted by Mmekocat Jan 23rd 2009

Wow that was really good i liked that trailer the best out of all of them!!!!!


Posted by CrAzY_4_HP Jan 23rd 2009

Oooh wow! New scenes! Loved it!


Posted by the_shrieking_snack Jan 23rd 2009

FRICKYEAH! this is going to be and epic movie. lol @ ron in the quidditch hoop. :p


Posted by heather_s_70056 Jan 23rd 2009

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."


Posted by kooldude10694 Jan 23rd 2009

Cool. Like it. New trailer in April or May, though.

Posted by jmnhermione435 Jan 23rd 2009

Posted by merry_sa Jan 23rd 2009

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!


Posted by wiltabone Jan 23rd 2009

YAY AMAZING - hAven't watched it yet :P


Posted by wiltabone Jan 23rd 2009

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


Posted by bellaweasley16 Jan 23rd 2009

best trailer i've seen so far.


Posted by xplodingsnap Jan 23rd 2009

This was so much better than any of the trailers for the U.S. Go Japan!


Posted by superfish31 Jan 23rd 2009

Wow... Daniel was very unenthusiastic in the beggining... xD


Posted by The_Green_Nargule Jan 23rd 2009

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!


Posted by iwantorlando05 Jan 23rd 2009

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!!


Posted by Blackbird_17 Jan 23rd 2009

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. ;)


Posted by citylove3583 Jan 23rd 2009

i don't know if i can really enjoy this trailer. the japanese voiceover was distracting me from what was happening in the trailer.... :-\


Posted by MUHAHAHA Jan 23rd 2009

I am so glad to understand enough Japanese to understand the trailer!! YEAH MAN!! LAST TIME WAS JAPANESE AS WELL!!


Posted by HPALI Jan 23rd 2009

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!!


Posted by hpintwense06 Jan 23rd 2009

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!!!! :]


Posted by hp_angie Jan 23rd 2009

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.


Posted by hpintwense06 Jan 23rd 2009

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. :]


Posted by ldman15 Jan 23rd 2009

If you can translate it go to http://dotsub.com/transcr ibe/e4765dc9-aca7-45c0-aa 9a-aa73b6d7c1de and transcribe it. Thanks!!!


Posted by PotterYay Jan 23rd 2009

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! (:


Posted by bluedragoongal_442 Jan 23rd 2009

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.


Posted by PotterYay Jan 23rd 2009

I love the music too, as always.


Posted by bluedragoongal_442 Jan 23rd 2009

Harry and Ginny kiss !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BTW Sorry about my horrible spelling before
