Trailer alert: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
by Liz
This just in: official trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince! If you’ve lost count (as I had), this places us at number six of eight, with Deathly Hallows split conveniently into two separate movies to squeeze everything in. And this, well, how cool does it look? Thumbs up for Young Tom Riddle, and how about that effect at the end, with Tom *flash* Voldemort? Very sneaky, you crazy trailer-editing kids.
Readers, what do you think?

Ha! Liked it, especially the combo of quick and slow shots. Just wish they’d get the trailer editing kids on the main movie sometimes. However, I guess artistic effects are easier in a 1.5 min format. However, looks like it will be good and v. v. dark. Hope it’s more coherent than #5, but then the story is, so I think the movie will be too.

I have to agree–this one’s far more structured than Order of the Phoenix. I’m generally not a flashback person, but I’m excited to see what they do with this. (However, I was looking at the cast on IMDB and found no entries for Tom Riddle’s mother, which alarmed me. How can they leave her out?)

That would be disappointing. But Erik was saying last night there’d be things they could cut if they needed to, and his first pick was Riddle’s parents meeting. So I wouldn’t be too surprised.
