There is new footage from the upcoming “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” film included on the US Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix DVD. Readers will recall that when the UK saw the release last month, there were two special sneak peeks at the sixth Harry Potter film included via the DVD; today there is new video with the sneak peek, including some fantastic shots of Draco (Tom Felton) cursing Harry on the train, and Harry and Ginny, the interior of Slughorn’s home, and even dialog between Professor Dumbledore and Harry discussing Horcruxes (yes really!). Also new are various interviews conducted recently at the DVD launch in London, England, including new quotes from actress Emma Watson (Hermione), Matt Lewis (Neville), Rupert Grint (Ron) a hilarious quote from Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter) discussing the Ron/Lavender snogging scenes, as well as quotes from producer David Heyman and HBP director David Yates. To watch (SPOILERS AHOY) click here via our galleries.

Many thanks lark and flaquita

ImHermione1027: I completely agree with you. I think Hermione is like a younger, female version of Dumbledore. She’s awesome. Hermione never gets afraid of Harry or gets timid or anything like that when he’s yelling. I mean for one thing Harry never even yells at Hermione, I can’t think of one scene where he’s yelled at her like he’s yelled at Ron. And Hermione and Harry have never gotten into a fight. Harry was made at her in POA for telling McGonagall about the firebolt, but they were 13 and Hermione had done the smart thing anyways.

Hermione is definitely a strong character and I think she “knows” how Harry’s mind works, because she knows what Harry wants to do before he even says alot of the time. Like the part in book 7, when they’re basically finishing each other’s sentences after they’re done eavesdropping on Ted Tonks and his crew. And Ron gets jealous and starts yelling at them and then leaves. And then that part in the OOTP book when Harry is avoiding everyone and won’t talk to anyone, Hermione comes and he listens to her. And she knows exactly what he’s feeling and tells to, “Stop acting all misunderstood.” She’s great!

And if you ask me Hermione is the voice of reason in the trio. I mean Harry and Ron do listen to her. When they’re making up a plan, they always ask for Hermione’s opinion. She’s the one who always figures things out. they wouldn’t have figured out what was petrifying all the people in book 2, if it hadn’t been for Hermione. And not to mention she’s saved Harry and Ron’s lives like a million times throughout the serious.

she’s definitely the best female character in the books in my opinion. After her then it’s McGonagall and then Mrs. Weasley.

i swear that video has me going.

personally i didn’t really liked the 5th movie it was very lacking, though the harry sirius momantes were a few of the good things that were done in that movie. removing snape’s memory of lily well i was highly disappointed. as i keep on saying i would have much rather it wasn’t the same Dir and co. from the 5th doing the 6th. i have low expectoins for the 6th movie :-/

as for the harry and ginny almost kiss can any one remember what room was it shot in? i think it’s the trophy room or maybe it’s Dumbledore office.

I thought the Ginny plot was a little weak too. She is still a stranger to me even after 3 books of further appearances. Relationships need to have more substance than that in my opinion: like Ron/Hermione does. I find its more properly fleshed out with more equal interaction having been had between the two of them.

I do like lots of interaction when I choose my favorite ships: hey, thats why I ship Ron/Hermione, Harry/Hermione, Harry/Draco, Lucius/Narcissa, and Harry/Luna (although the H/D and H/Hr shippers inside me tend to get jealous of Luna)

lol that was a tangent: (gigglesnort)

Celia: thanks for elaborating on everything I was thinking/feeling! I am right there with you and agree with your thoughts completely. I did not think that Hermione ever backed down from anyone! Your quotes are very accurate in backing up this point, well done :) And seeing her as a younger/female version of Dumbledore…excellent I really like that connection.

Slitheress: that was a part of my point and I agree with you as well, I still feel like Ginny is a stranger, and I definitely don’t want her to be, I wanted to know more about her. She has tons of potential; I just wished, to use your terminology, she was more fleshed out. Hehe, as for your “ships”- let’s face it, Harry is SO amazing, he could have probably been some kind of wizard pimp and had them all wrapped around his finger :) Just kidding, just kidding!

O_O You know, you might just be on to something there. lol just kiddin’

But You must admit it, everybody says so: I have the most impeccable taste in ships. :D

Slitheress: here is my less serious side coming out on these boards: Harry would have a cloak of Gryffindor maroon with a gold Gryffindor emblem on the back, the chain around his neck would have to be a more blinging version of Xenophilius Lovegood’s, really huge Deathly Hallows symbol, his cane would be topped with a sparkling golden snitch, a dashing pinstriped suit, he can have his regular glasses because they rock IMHO, put some pomade in that shaggy hair of his, voila..Pimp Harry. 100 Ways to Charm Witches what? Just save the wizarding world and you’‘ll forever have witches falling all over you!! :)

Please note- this is meant in jest. Harry’s personality wouldn’t lend himself to such activities, and that is certainly party of the reason why I love him. What woman doesn’t want a man who is modest? :)

Hey, ImHermione… (looks around shiftily)

Pimped Harry is right this way:

Slitheress- that was hysterical thank you! Anyone with a sense of humor would appreciate that!

Pretty much what I had in mind :)

Okay AmY, you need to put down the caffeine and step away slowly. Hopefully, the people you’re around have got a tranquilizer handy.

Maybe this has already been addressed by now but I don’t want to have too read 8 pages of comments. The DVD extras ARE THE SAME!!!! We have the same special features as the British release. The British release had one link to a sneak preview of HBP on their DVD and now the American release has a link to different footage on that DVD. The footage isn’t on the dvd it self, it’s on the net just like the british one was and I think still is. You got footage we didn’t get, now we have footage you didn’t get. We’re equal. But luckily due to youtube and other various media sharing sites and methods WE BOTH GET TO SEE BOTH!!! If we HAD got the same preview it would have been only ONE of the two sneak peeks. We would have both only gotten only one sneak peak. We would have got less HBP footage. Get it? This is a good thing! We have the exact same special features disks as you do it just gives a different link to new HBP footage when you put the dvd in your PC.

LOL. Slithress, how funny! As much as I love H/G the squeeing ones can keep that energy to the other side of the screen. No offense, guys!

I agree, getting jealous of every actress that is going to kiss Dan is ridiculous. So what if Bonnie doesn’t have a perfect face? Who does? She’s quite pretty as she is. If anything, the facial flaws make her more real. And more power to her if she doesn’t care about what other people think and just dresses and looks the way she wants to. She could pile on tons of makeup if she wanted to, but she doesn’t, and that’s fine.

So, down with superficiality, I say! It’s annoying!
