Half-Blood Prince Teaser Trailer Online

Update 2:  IT’S ONLINE!

Update 7/29/08:  This is the old, 10 second trailer – images from the new trailer can be found here; will be available at AOL.com tonight at 9pm EST!

A little disappointing, but perhaps a longer trailer will come in August with The Mummy 3: Rise of the Dragon Emperor or another movie (I’ve heard Star Wars: Clone Wars). My question is: does anyone understand what Dumbledore is saying here?

“Once again, I must ask too much of you, Harry” ????

That’s how I hear it, too.

So, that’s all it is, just the credits & a sound bite? Disappointing.

yeah, quite disappointing. I have to say that the teaser trailer that we put together with Travis at portus is WAYYY better than this one. http://youtube.com/watch?v=3EEQBtjOBkg

It’s clearer if you watch it on YouTube itself. “Once again, I must ask too much of you, Harry” is indeed what Dumbledore says. I’m still thinking the proper trailer will be released with The Mummy.

Affirmative.

By the way, after the clip ended there was a list of related videos posted. One of them, which I thought was excellent, was a slide show of fan art telling the story of Half Blood Prince. The thumbnail featured a depiction of Snape AK-ing Dumbledore on the tower.

Penny, I enjoyed the teaser trailer that you guys did at Portus. Very funny and just brilliant. Good stuff.

Eric & Red Rocker, yeah it does sound like that. Thanks. :)

I think the “Once again, i must ask too much of you, harry” refers to the time where dumbledore requesting harry to get the memory from slughorn

Travis PrinziNo Gravatar July 27, 2008 at 5:22 pm

Uwey, I was thinking very much the same thing.

Prediction about that: the movie will not portray Dumbledore as in control and certain about horcruxes in that moment. Instead, for dramatic tension, it will be absolutely crucial to the plot for Harry to get that memory.

I’ve always read the text itself as Dumbledore needing confirmation of something about which he was 99.1% sure, but using it as an incredibly important moment to teach Harry.
