I’ll leave the frame-by-frame analysis to more obsessive Potterphiles than I. Suffice it to say that the atmosphere of gray, bleak dread here is unrelenting. In addition to quick glimpses of Ron and Ginny Weasley in peril and lots of stuff getting set on fire, the main thrust of the trailer is a flashback to Dumbledore’s first meeting with the young Tom Riddle, the future Voldemort, played in suitably Damien-creepy fashion by 11-year-old Hero Fiennes-Tiffin (nephew of Ralph Fiennes, who is briefly seen here as the adult Voldemort). Feel free to discuss the teaser clip’s clues and occasional deviations from the sixth book’s text in the comments section; I’m just going to sit back and start counting the days and minutes until the Harry Potter flick’s Nov. 21 release. (114 to go…) Excited yet, PopWatchers?

Is “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” a word? Then yes, I am excited.
LOL
I did my own frame-by-frame too!
So excited!!! =D
little voldermort looks great…..
Why, why, why isn’t this how we were introduced to young Anakin Skywalker? Young Voldemort doesn’t say “yippee!” and work in a junk store? Sign me up.
Wicked excited.
It’s almost time to begin the annual Re-Read.
OMG Tom Riddle looks terrifying. And not in that usual “evil demon child” way, but like actually creepy. Like he’s not possessed by the devil, he’s just that creepy. EEEEEE I’M SO FREAKING EXCITED.
Time to re-read HP6 for the 8th time? I think so.
OK, I’ve watched it like nine times now, and that Pazuzu-esque flicker of Voldemort is still giving me the jibblies every time.
Can I already suggest this for the Must-List?
This looks fantastic.
This looks much better than the 5th movie. It looks like they will keep close to the book this time. Here’s hoping!
can november come soon???
the book is fantastic, and the movie seems to be too!
All my bodily functions have ceased. This is a fantastic trailer. I can’t wait to see the film version of my favorite HP book! This HAS to be on this week’s MUST LIST!
omgyes!!!!
i can’t wait!!!
HOLY PENSEIVE, BATMAN! that is undoubtedly the best trailer i’ve seen all year. can’t wait!!!
This just made my day! Does anyone know what movie this will play before? I think I’d be will to pay full ticket price for pretty much any crapfest movie just to be able to see the Half Blood Prince trailer on the full screen!
Rumor has it that it’s playing before The Mummy movie.
OMG SO EXCITED!
Chills. I can’t wait!!
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, but watching this just made it 1billion X better!! I can’t wait for the movie.
I CAN’T WAIT!! I’m reading HBP right now, as part of my annual HP reading binge. I hope, hope, hope this movie follows the book. It’s my favorite book of all of them. They have to do it justice!
And that kid is so weird! Ominous is the best word for this trailer. I love it!
It looks so so SO freakin’ awesome. I can’t wait!
f***in right
im so pumped for this
Great teaser – now I’m going to have to re-read the books again! I agree, November just can’t come soon enough – wake me up when it’s here! Looks like excellent casting, young Voldemort is spot on – smart casting Fiennes’ nephew to play the part! SO EXCITING!!
Shut your mouth!!! I can’t wait!!!
Potter Obsession pushing Occult tradition on the kids. This is another sad chapter in the Harry Potter history.
When this generation of Potter maniacs are adults…..don’t be suprised that Aliester Crowley and Timothy Leary will be the new heroes of history.
Totally demonic…….keep in mind the Bible warns that witchcraft is forbidden and is connected the demonic.
Believe on Christ for salvation, ultimately he is King of King and Lord of Lords
Meh.
Goblet of Fire is still the best HP trailer they’ve done.
I can’t wait!!! Is it November yet? This is one of my favorite books. This is going to be fantastic!
Demonic? Ha! I’m an adult Potterfile and I see nothing demonic or sinister about the series. But freaks must have their causes, I guess. At any rate, the trailer looks amazing…likely this will be the best movie yet.
I liked the trailer and I loved the book. I may read it for a third time.
Shocking, it only took 23 posts for a “Harry Potter is evil and against God” post. You would think that would be getting old since this is the 6th movie and the 7 books have been out forever. Anyways, that trailer was awesome, but I’m sad it is going to be in front of the Mummy, I don’t think I can sit through that crap just to see the HBP trailer.
Jeez, could the video be any smaller? I needed a magnifying glass the watch the trailer. Ya think you guys could’a posted it a bit bigger? It’s 2008, we do have the technology.
These people saying HP is evil are the same people dressing up for halloween and taking their kids trick or treating :rollseyes:
