What did you think of the Half-Blood Prince trailer? Excited? Disappointed? Vote in the poll, and join the discussion already happening here.
It should be a fun forthcoming week in Harry Potter’s world.
Tuesday, the 29th, the Half-Blood Prince Trailer will be appearing exclusively on AOL. It will be our first live-action look at the new film. I really enjoyed what Yates did with Order of the Phoenix, but I have to admit I’m a bit nervous about this one. There’s only so much he can do with Gambon’s performance of Dumbledore, and this is Dumbledore’s show. The saving grace of the movie should be that we’ll get a lot of Severus Snape, which means a lot of Alan Rickman’s brilliance. Thoughts? Are you expecting a great movie or a letdown?
Then, Thursday, we have Harry Potter’s birthday. And, of course, J.K. Rowling’s birthday. I’m planning something a little extra-special for that day, so stay tuned. The HP Alliance will be wrapping up its “11 Days of Breaking Out of the Muggle Mindset” series that day (I happen to think if we all just practiced their Day 7 exercise more often, we’d all be more magic and less muggle). Got any plans to celebrate the day? (We Harry Potter people are in the process of creating our own calendar, it seems.)
