According to a report from Cinema Blend, a new trailer was screened today for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince at ShoWest. While the article describes some familiar scenes, there also seems to be an extended focus on Draco as the new "bad guy." "Dumbledore also has a line of dialogue that definitely isn't part of the book-- 'Voldemort has chosen Draco Malfoy for a mission.'" The article notes that Alan Horn asked at the beginning of the presentation if the audience would forgiven him for delaying this movie's release. The author guesses correctly that for most Potter fans the answer is 'no,' "and new footage like this doesn't make the wait any easier."

Do we get to see this new trailer?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 14:38:37

Yeah, Im still not over it. Even when Im watching the movie, I will be, "I shouldve been seeing this six months ago." And no matter how the movie is, my rating is an F-. Nah, Im kidding. But its still a sh*t excuse.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 14:57:37

well im gonna GO OFF ON A LIMB and say yes Alan Horn, I FORGIVE you.. better to wait 2 years for HBP than 2 YEARS for DH.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 14:58:27

My answer would be no, too. :P Ahh, if we got the movie on its original date, wed almost have/have the DVD.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 15:05:47

Argh, we couldve seen the movie months ago...-just 107 days left now! I have not forgiven them, but I dont really hate them either.. But anyway, I hope the trailer will be online soon!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 15:06:13

f*** no and are they just gonna tell us because that wont change my answer either? are they planning on showing the fans or not?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 15:09:50

Okay, first, I WANT THIS NEW TRAILER. Im waiting impatiently. Second, I can just imagine the audience yelling "No" to Alan Horn. Hilarious. I would have said that, too, though. Third, that line is ridikulus. Why is he blatantly saying that out loud? Is it for the audiences sake? Because I thought they were doing the Unbreakable Vow scene... Ew, WB.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 15:12:57

bahahaha. I love HP fans.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 15:14:58

is this an advanced april fools prank? "forgiven"? either thats a real typo or a hint. XD

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 15:34:38

Haha! Apologize for the delay of the movies release . . . NO! : ) He shouldnt have bothered. But anyways I really cant wait for this trailer, it looks pretty awesome! MORE FOOTAGE! Hee hee!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 15:36:28

Well this is cool... but Id like to see it, lol! Any who, I am totally over the movie delay. Honestly people, get over it. Im excited that its a summer release and that I can go to the midnight showing without having to worry about getting to class early the next morning, like I wouldve if the movie had came out in November. Im pumped! 107 MORE DAYSSSSS! :]

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 16:03:27

well f**k that man that movie would of been out on dvd by know if he didnt delay it but 107 days cant wait

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 16:03:54

I will NEVER forgive you Alan Horn!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 16:10:17

if this movie had come out on its original date i could have gone to the midnight showing with my best friends like we always did... the new release date falls in the middle of my summer missions trip. ill have to wait a while after it comes out to go see it. not okay.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 16:12:50

Nope, and youre still not going to get my money either when it finally does hit the screen. Im stubborn enough to wait for the dvd.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 16:38:25

xD I just had one heck of a scary thought, what if, when there was, say, only about two weeks left until the release of the movie, and then they bumped it back another six months again? Or nine months? Or a year? They wouldnt really do that though, thank god.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 16:47:43

Ill only forgive him when the DVD comes out sooner than normal... you know like a month after the movie is out in theaters XD Not thats ever going to happen...

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 16:52:18

Hello Phoenixknighter , whos Alan Horn ? I know he is the one mentioned in the article but who is he ?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 17:26:30

Enough already ----------------- WHERE IS MAH TRAILER DAMNNIT?!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 17:55:52

wow this is annoying. i want the new one:D.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 18:14:53

i cant wait till they show us the "bad guy" part!!!!! finally something new!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 19:28:00

Alan Horn is ridiculous. He will never be forgiven. He might as well quit while hes ahead. Releasing new footage after new footage is just gonna make us more upset/pissed because technically, we should be watching the DVD right now. Hes made other companies lose millions of dollars since they could not release their HBP merchandise and he still pisses off fans. I still cant believe that on November 21st, Alan had the nerve to release a new trailer on the date that it was supposed to be released. Im pretty sure I wrote letters to him telling him to hang himself :]

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 19:39:27

no one else seems to be pissed that DUMBLEDORE SAYS THAT VOLDY GAVE DRACO A MISSION? i am so pissed he says that! that like ruins the whole thing doesnt it? i mean harry spends a good amount of time trying to make sure he knows dracos for sure up to something and then what? in the movie dumbledore just comes out and says it! F**k that dude!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 19:47:39

man, whats the matter with that delay again? its delayed, its delayed, move on and stop bothering people with that... Come on, if someone is still bitching about the delay, then that someone as no life at all, get over it, its fudge delayed, nothing will change that... really, some people really has time to lose for nothing...

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 19:49:38

I wanna see the trailer. x_x GAHH I CANT WAIT TILL THE MOVIE.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 20:17:58

I am going to be officially pissed off if they dont cut the bit about "Voldemort has chosen Draco Malfoy." It would be okay with it if it came from Snape or some relative of Dracos, but Dumbledore, no. The whole point of Dumbledore being short with Harry in the entire book was to prevent Harry from trying to save Dumbledore in the end. And I wish we could see the scene with the "firey dementors flying through a house." I thought the purpose of dementors was to suck happiness and make people feel cold and empty, not hot and aware of their emotional and physical selves. UGH.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 21:20:57

why on earth is dumbledore giving away a major plotline, telling us that draco is up to something? grrrr part of the fun is figuring it out...

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-31 23:09:59

I think it is great they said no.. bottom line they made us wait.. does not mean we do not remember that.... and who understands most of what Dumbledore says?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 01:27:59

I still REALLY want to see this movie but everyday there seems to be more and more shhh about it that begins to REALLY psst me off. Like everyone else Im also upset about that new line Dumbledore says. And an attack on the Weasleys house? like WTF? Isnt there enough plot line and action in the ACTUAL book to make a decent movie?! Must they add frivolous new scenes and stupid dialog? UGH. Im getting fed up.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 05:16:55

I agree with kryptiq. I believe its an April Fools Joke. First of all, weve just had a new trailer like a month ago so i seriously doubt that theres a new one so soon...second, how much can they bloody show in this trailer...it seems like they added loads of stuff in this trailer even things that arent in the book...so my conclusion is april fools joke

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 13:03:12

If Dumbledore tells Harry that Draco is up to something then........ wtf is half the movie going to be about? The whole fun of it was trying to figure out what he was up to... and Harry is supposed to get frustrated because the one person who he think will believe him (Dumbledore) isnt showing any sign that he believes Harry. And he does this purposesly.. ugh. WHY do they have to make BIG changes to the frickin plotline!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 15:42:55

another??? this is annoying just wait for the movie to come out already!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 18:24:25

april fools! haha pretty realistic since a whole other site wrote the article... didnt anyone else notice how these people didnt say HOW they saw the trailer, or WHAT their authority is? haha very funny!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 18:53:39

Who wrote this article? Its terrible! Must be a fake/April fools joke. ;)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-02 22:17:57

I must say, although I was very bummed out that they changed the original date of this movies release, I can actually say that I am probably feeling more excited now compared to how I felt in November. Its obvious that David Yates and his fellow filmmakers have utilized these few months to make the necessary changes in the film and to make it an overall better movie. If you think about it, hardly any of the other films had so much time in post-production, but this one definitely has. Im very excited, and I think the film will reach our high standards, and probably even higher.

New HBP trailer screened at ShoWest...? Honestly, I doubt it...This news arrived on the APRIL FOOLS day ...remember guys? I think its all a prank. And anyways WB recently released a new trailer... I dont think theyd release another trailer so soon... It makes me wonder...They are indeed giving away so many trailers... I mean this way they are gonna let out the entire film... Though...I loved and enjoyed all of them... Love the trailers... I am hoping to see the new one ...if its not a prank. More 103days...Hmm...cant wait... darn it.
