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

‘And they won’t be doing THAT in the movie because she only kisses him over him feeling sympathy for house-elves’

Yeah, that’s the only reason she kissed him. It had absolutely nothing to do with years of pent up feelings, frustrations and UST. Nothing at all.

The fact that it was over house elves is what makes it funny, not the reason.

Iona: That’s crazy talk. Hermione would have kissed ANY boy who waxed poetic over house elves.

Except, not.

Honestly it was just the right “moment” as Harry put it. I loved that Hermione was the one who leapt onto him and did it.

I hope thats not the actual kissing scene with H/G or a later one. I want it to be the one in the common room. That would be so good on screen.

SQUEE DRACO HAS SMEXY HAIR!!!!! They’re (hopefully) keeping the train scene in, towards the end Harry had a green blanket in which looked like the train floor so kick scene very high! WOOO! I hope Emma dyes her hair soon before they start filming… it’s blonde enough in the movies GO BRUNETTE HERMIONE!

Wow, other shippers; h/hr shippers? use the word UST too??!! I thought that was only H/D shippers.

Parvati: UST was used in reference to Ron/Hermione here, not Harry/Hermione (who imho have none unless you’re into incest). It’s a blanket term I’ve seen used by all kinds of shippers though, in tons of fandoms not just HP.

”...and even dialog between Professor Dumbledore and Harry discussing Horcruxes (yes really!)” – LOL, love ya, Leaky! Well, I’m sorry, but I have to say, I’m not fond of these additional snogging scenes and the comedy-thingy. I really LOVED OotP, so still hoping … Regarding Bonnie: Beauty is a matter of taste, some people may find her pretty, and some don’t, but she can still be a pleasant person.

Ok, this must be the worst DVD launch and the worst DVD content ever. As much as I love Harry Potter, WB really got it so wrong this time. Different launch moments, different content on various editions… and so on. I am very disappointed.

you know what’s crap, sticks and everyone else who said dan and bonnie don’t have any chemistry, is your judgment without even seeing a decent shot with the two of them together. it’s blurred for God’s sake! and can you bloody quit jumping into conclusions, the movie isn’t out yet, the shot is unclear, it is just a 4 sec part, they don’t have a chemistry, and you won’t leave Cho with the girl you can only see a blurred hair and back? you’re so immature and too pathetic. losers.

yay for harry and ginny!

Has the WB CONFIRMED that Merope, Hepzibah, etc will not be in the movie? Or is this just speculation based on the released cast list?

i agree with the opinions thing but it’s completely unfair to judge Bonnie just because she’s not them who will kiss Dan, or she’s not Hermione or Emma, or whatever their reason is.

i won’t go anywhere to waste my time just to bash other people. well, to each his own. i simply find people like that as losers and sick.

There is nothing wrong with Bonnie Wright´s profile. She is a sweet, lovely, pretty young woman. Does jealousy rear it´s ugly head here, or are some frustrated H/Hr shippers at work? Yes, I am assuming, sorry for that.

Anyway, I am looking forward to HBP, it sounds wonderful so far and I loved OotP, so I have utmost trust in Yates.

But they better leave the locket Horcrux in. We need that Horcrux for at least three very thrilling and emotional scenes.

Parvati: I think the term originated way back when in the X-files fandom with Mulder and Scully but I could be wrong.

ITA to several commenters on the jealousy/upset shippers thing with H/G. I feel bad for Bonnie already.

i quite agree with you Mistral. i thought we were all equal! gud thing for Youtube though!

i was so excited with the Harry/Ginny! so cute! :]

im just crossing my fingers that this movie is gud!

i hope they dont show the Lavender/Ron. i want it as a surprise! i want to be in the cinema going, “OMG!”. instead of, “They got it wrong again.”.

just asking, who like dan’s new haircut? i kinna like it. it does make him younger though. : l
