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!

Great!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 09:36:09

Thats pretty cool.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 09:38:19

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 09:43:08

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: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 09:45:07

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: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 09:50:31

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 doesnt seem to react like you would expect a teacher to protecting the Hogwarts grounds. It is a small snippet so maybe Im cherry picking..... but.... I mean, we know why he doesnt, but the non book reading movie watchers dont (or shouldnt). 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.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 09:55:46

weeeeeeeeee Im so excited!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 10:00:50

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 10:07:28

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: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 10:08:44

So did Andrew lose the bet?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 10:14:18

I dont want to watch anymore trailers! It feels like Ive watched the entire movie already. I want some things to still be a surprise.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 10:15:54

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 10:37:34

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 cant wait to get a HD or High res copy of this!! Im too excited XD

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 10:58:43

AMAZING trailer. Hopefully well get a high res version and without any japanesse announcer and text. ^_^ Oh and PLEASE have a live MuggleCast tonight!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 11:11:53

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 11:20:27

great stuff,, gotta like the apparition effect:)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 11:20:46

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: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 11:30:05

By George, I think hes finally got it - Michael Gambon is finally acting like Dumbledore. Hooray! Maybe I wont utterly despise him after this movie, it looks friggin good! Only maybe though...

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 11:45:40

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: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 12:01:41

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 12:19:35

Oooh wow! New scenes! Loved it!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 12:21:15

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 12:23:19

Well I guess non book readers (those who just watch the movies) will know that Snape isnt teaching potions. I think they should have left that out of the trailer. Its suppose to be a surprise. I hope we learn more about Nevilles story in this movie weve only got bits and pieces. Its time we see how close he came to being "the chosen one."

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 12:37:21

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

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: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 14:05:02

YAY AMAZING - hAvent watched it yet :P

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 14:09:56

Watched it - not so good at quality cause of those thingsaround the trailer. But the Movie WILL BE AWSOME .. hope itll be the best of 2009

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 14:11:04

best trailer ive seen so far.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 14:20:00

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 14:21:32

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 14:22:19

Im 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 cant 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 thats when things get sticky. so tell me what you guys thinks!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 14:23:48

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 cant wait to see what else they kept in...Screw the battle its not that big of a deal and it was more of a fight anyways. And Im pretty sure there is fighting in there. I just really want to see this movie!!!!!!! I love Dumbledores line, "...most people vomit the first time." HILARIOUS!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 14:30:21

OMG!! THIS TRAILER LOOKS POSTIVELY AMAZING!! But I have yet to see it because Im currently at school and the computers wont let me see it!!!! GRR!!!! I look forward to hearing Dumbledores "vomit" line in the trailer. I assume hes talking about Apparation. ;)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 15:14:32

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 15:16:30

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 cant wait to get a HD or High res copy of this!! Im too excited XD Nice you put the trailer up here too!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 15:17:23

OH. MY. GOSH!!!!!!!! I was completely freaking out by the end of that trailer! I CANNOT WAIT! Its going to be AWESOME! I dont even care that it was a low-quality trailer! I really liked getting the insight to Harry collecting Slughorns memory, and it was cool that we got to see Snape and Mr. Weasley! I CANNOT WAIT!!!! :]

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 15:28:51

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? Shes tlkin really fast so I cant understand her much.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 16:17:50

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: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 16:33:31

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 16:43:56

Huh. For some reason i dont 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 its cause the narrator voice guy is in Japanese, so i cant understand it. Anyway, its still amazing! I cant wait for the english version! (:

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 16:44:13

I am so PISSED that I cant understand Japanesse. It is SOOOOO screwed up! Someone needs to translate the captions cause my computer doesnt get sound. Rellay fantastic trailer though, and Daniel may have just been tired at the beggingi when he was talking or whaever.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 16:47:30

I love the music too, as always.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 16:56:02

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

ohmygod. effing amazing. absolutely perfect.. well, er, besides the fact that i cant understand half of it though. but im still so EXCITEDDD. theyve quenched my thirst for new footage temporarily.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 17:51:53

awww man i really dont wanna watch it. at least not in this quality, i dont think ill be able to resist for long though. and Ive only done Jap for 3 years so its as foreign to me as everyone else.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 18:21:07

Holy crap, that was great. Dumbledores line is PERFECT. Dan is freaking gorgeous as usual (and since Ive met him twice AND seen Equus, I know how gorgeous he is IRL!) Alan Rickman is the perfect Snape. Sluggy is AWESOME. Love him even more. Unfortunately, they HAD to show Harry and Mary Sue (I mean Ginny *gag*) about to make out. And that just ruined my perfectly good night. Trailer grade: A- Highlights: Dumbledore, Snape, Daniel Radcliffe, Slughorn Low Points: Ginny freaking Weasley.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 19:37:44

ahhh i can not wait.....

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 20:50:05

Wish that I spoke Japanese lol, but this was awesome! The clips were really great, and there was new stuff, too! Loved Mr. Weasley- his voice and delivery were great! Slughorn stuff was really good, he sounds spot-on. Not exactly like the book, but pretty darn close! All in all, a nice surprise. P.O.ed that I missed MuggleCast, though. :(

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 20:50:38

Im not perfect in Japanese, but the beginning bit of the male voice is merely talking about the release date and all that. Later he mentions the importance of the new teacher, and the "This Year!" slash "This Summer!" thing that most trailers in english have too. Nothing major is mentioned from my perspective, but like I said, Im not fluent yet. Trailer blew my mind. It looks perfectly amazing. I wanna sex it up. I heart it.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 22:16:04

Im not fluent in Japanese, I could read most the kanji, hiragana and katakana though. Ano...chotto nihongo o hanashimasu. The announcers voice is hard to understand.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 22:31:49

The way dumbledore and harry get to the astronomy tower isnt the same as in the book. Since the audiance of the movie hasnt been told you CANT disapperate or appariate they there just disapperate on the astronomy tower. Get over it if you dont like the changes, you need ot view the movies in 2 ways: First off as a movie in itself, what do you think of it as if this novel never existed? And as a book adoption is where 99.9% of fans go by. I love the books and the movies and they changes and stuff left out arent a big deal to me. Be thankfull we are getting movies from this series where many series havent even made it to the screen.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-23 23:11:57

From all the trailer I have seen at this moment, this is a good one. This means that the movie is going to be really fantastic. I like the way Daniel, addressing to the fan in Japan, because this mean that he is paying attention to everyone that have seen Harry Potter series.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-24 00:14:13

Oh, and I think I forgot to mention in my last comment how AMAZING Tom Felton looks in this movie. I know hes going to do fantastic as Draco. But seeming him cry completely broke my heart. I just wanted to jump into the video and give him a huge hug (:

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-24 01:21:00

Sorry, I posted this is the wrong place before: 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 02:32:51

Leanne, yes, in Japan, HBP is known as Harry Potter to Nazo no Prince or "Harry Potter and the Mysterious Prince." I sent in my translation of the voice over a few hours ago. Its nothing too exciting though, in my opinion.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-24 03:34:08

Okay, here is my rough attempt at translating the voice over. I couldnt understand all of it though!: "Here we go! From here on, we are about to reach the climax!" - I know this line is right. Something about Voldemort, siblings (?) and Hogwarts. "Dumbledores future is...!?" - Another one I know is right. Its the announcer that cuts off here, not me! "Everything from the journey so far has lead here." - Little iffy about this "And so will Harry be able to live up to his true fate (?)" - Also iffy. Live up to the task perhaps? "The fate of the world is at stake" - This is right "Thrilling fantasy adventure, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, out next Summer!" Well, I tried!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-24 05:50:43

WOW! And my friends, THAT was Dumbledore... Finally Gambon got it!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-24 06:12:56

I speak fluent Japanese. Ill translate it. Give me a few minutes.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-24 08:27:19

Ok. I couldnt hear too well. But Im 90% sure this is what was said by the Japanese announcer: Finally(at last). The climax starts here. Voldemorts control (dominance) is becoming mightier (more powerful). Hogwarts has also invited in a magnanimous man. Dumbledores aim(intention)... As expected, can Harry bring the truth come to light? (make the truth clear) And, the fate of the world.... The final battle is about to start (in the sense that theres no turning back after this.) Historys greatest fantasy, the sixth volume, Harry Potter and the Enigmatic Prince (Title is a little bit different in Japan) Opens this summer. Now in Japanese: iyoiyo. koko kara ga kuraimaksu. voldemort no shihairyoku ga kyoudai ni natte ikanakan hogwarts wa juuyou na jouhou mo tajinbutsu wo maneki ireru dumbledore no neri wa... subete no kagi wa, kakkou ni atta hatashite harry ga shinjitsu wo tokiakasu koto dekiru no ka soshite, sekai no unmei wa saishu kessen no hibuta ga kitte otosareru shijou saikyou no fantajii, dai roku dan, harry potter to nazou no prince wa.. kono natsu koukai desu

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-24 08:36:52

I forgot a line Dumbledores aim(intention)... All of the keys were in the past. As expected, can Harry bring the truth come to light? (make the truth clear)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-24 12:19:23

They seem to be putting a lot of emphasis on getting Slughorns memory :) YAY !

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-24 17:00:11

I love Dumbledores line in the beginning, he seems so in character! And Ginny and Harry about to KISS!! So cuteeeeeeeee.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-24 18:24:11

Awesome, Im so excited to see Rupert, Emma, Tom and Bonnie challenged acting-wise in this one, I think theyll do a terrific job :)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-26 17:20:52

Well, thats the last time I try to help. No recognition, or even a short thank you e-mail for my effort in translation. I had a high def recording of the trailer that I had subbed, but forget it now.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-01-26 20:17:23
