Warner Bros. recently released some new behind-the-scenes footage from the long-delayed sixth Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. As HP fans know (and are still irked about), the film was originally scheduled for release last fall, but then Warner Bros. pushed it to July 17, 2009. Some of the footage comes from previously released trailers, but there are some cool new shots here, including the inky tornado arrival of dark force Bellatrix Lestrange at a house, ringed by fire, in the middle of a field, and a long close-up of the Pensieve and the tendrils of thought slinking down into it. There’s also a powerful shot of Dumbledore surrounded by an infernal blaze — presumably, this is from the film’s climax, but we won’t spoil any plot details. Plus, there’s some fun stuff of Ron obsessing over Lavender Brown (including a little PG-rated make-out session), followed by some sweet, airborne revenge from Hermione. One final thought: Is it just me, or does Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) get cuter every film?
So what do you think, Potter fans? Does this footage make you more or less eager to see the film this summer?

Counting the days for the Half-Blood Prince and yes, Daniel is getting cuter every movie. Thank goodness he’s over 18 now, I was feeling like a dirty old lady.
I can’t wait! It’s long overdue. From what we’ve seen & heard, it’s going to be the best so far!
It looks like it will be well worth the wait!! I’m so excited!!!
BRING. IT. ON.
Harat- I totally know what you mean! I remember watching the fifth one and thinking, is it ok to fancy him now?
oh god yes Dan looks scrumptious every movie! He’s so so good looking, I could eat him up with a spoon!
127 More Days…The wait is almost over….anyhow at least this one is longer than Order Of The Phoenix….140 minutes…
134 days excuse me…
Oh goodness! I can’t wait. Very excited to see new stuff about the movie. Even though we should already have seen the movie itself by now! But.. I bet it will be worth the wait!
HBP is my least favorite book in the HP series but I’ll go watch the film because of Dan. I’ve a weakness for handsome, clean looking, sophisticated young men.
I agree with Jasmine, this was my least favorite book and the most boring. I was just a filler book IMHO. But the special effects look good. I want to see how they handle THE DEATH and how versatile Michael Gambon is considering Dumbledore does alot of running around in this book.
Yes, I’m still Pissed that they bumped this film back to this summer just so Warner Bros. can make bigger profits. See, I didn’t forget!
How do we view the clip?
This footage won’t change the fact that I can’t wait to see this film – I like how we keep getting snippets to whet our appetites… and I think Daniel Radcliffe looks more and more like Neil Finn – which is a good thing.
I smile every time I see the very last part of these trailers—it’s so cute! Can’t wait for this film! Looks great, looking forward to it!
