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

I really like Draco’s hair and look. Very Death Eater Nouveau.

It’ll be excellent to see him burst into tears. [evil laugh]

I have a Mac too Kevin, so I feel your pain. It’s probably easier to release a PC only format than to release a Universal one. Besides places like Blockbuster and Netflix do the same thing, and they’re only for the PC. I think the more Apple computers there are in the world, the more likely everything will be universal one day.

As for different versions having different additional features, I think it’s a bit crazy too. I have no problem with the two-disc edition having more features than the one-disc, that is expected. But for the HD and Blu-ray to be different, is strange. You’re just asking for things to land on youtube.

LOL Jupe! I agree with what you’ve said. But I have a feeling that I’ll get such a crush on Tom in this movie that when that moment comes, I just might burst into tears with him. {giggles}

omg! Quidditch is back! The uniforms look okay, too much padding for Harry’s since he a seeker, and seekers need to be flexable as possible to catch the snitch. Draco, look really nice with his hair like that, better than the bowl cut. But I like it when his hair was slick back, since it look more like his father and more Dracoish. Alas, better than the dang bowl cut.

I hate that DVD’s aren’t the same world over. My sis sent one to my mom from Australia and it won’t work because we do not have “international” dvd players. It is really dumb.

I do have a question. Emma said that it was great to be back. I thought she didn’t start filming for another week?

Folks, Last month, we in the U.S. were the ones crying because we had to wait A WHOLE MONTH! I guess this is just WB’s way to even things up! You get it early…we get more. Or at least, I will. I have to wait for Christmas!
