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.
‘Could the scene where Ginny almost kisses Harry and then walks away, be where Harry tells here they can’t be together anymore? Maybe.’
At first I thought the same, Jeff. But now I have discarded the idea, because that would have to be in the funeral scene, so they wouldn’t have filmed it with just Harry and Ginny, they would have filmed it with all the students and all the other people who attended Dumbledore’s funeral. They would all be on the background.
I didn’t think believe in it at first, but now I think that the dream theory is possible. Firstly because the DON’T get to kiss each other, so that would be when Harry discovered his feelings for Ginny, and it would mean that he would like to kiss her but he can’t because she has a boyfriend and is ‘out of bounds’, as Harry put it; secondly, because of the excessive lighting, which is kind of dreamlike, if you ask me; and thirdly, because Harry has his eyes closed. Yeah, I know it’s a stupid reason, but the fact that he has his eyes closed is also very dreamlike.
But now I think of it, I wish it wasn’t a dream!! If it were something real, it would be all the more romantic!! ^ With Harry expecting a kiss but left there without it because Ginny remembered her boyfriend and didn’t want to cheat on him. It’s a bit dramatic, as well, because they are two people who want to be together but can’t. I can’t wait for HBP to come on theaters!! ^

I love all the stuff shown in the clip :D I was jumping up and down. And I agreee with the arguments over the US getting a better DVD than the rest; I live in Australia, and our version is the same as the UK. Not to be rude to anyone from the US, I am sure you are lovely people and this isn’t your fault, but why do you get a better version than the rest of us? I think it is completely unfair.
Does Emma’s hair worry anyone else as much as it worries me? It’s blonde! I am hoping she dyes it for the movie, because Hermione has brown and bushy hair, and Emma seems to be changing Hermione’s character, which annoys me because she seems like Hermione less and less as the movies progress.
ImHermione: Hermione puts Harry in his place when he’s temperamental/having issues? Name me a scene. When Harry rages Hermione generally cries and is downright scared of it. Her voice is timid and she backs away from him quite frightened. If she does try to comfort him it’s extremely tentative and not usually successful. All of this is especially evident in OotP. They never playfully bicker, even. A Harry/Hermione relationship would end up extremely messy because of this. To be honest this is why I have issue with Harry/Hermione. How much they have to warp the characters to defend it. Hermione is not the same Hermione as the one in the books, ergo Harry. Fans accuse other pairings of being abusive, but this relationship, although totally unintentional on Harry’s part, would come far closer to verbal abuse than any other in canon.
There is one girl who is able to put Harry in his place when he’s raging though, without being scared. That’s Ginny.
Wow. This movie is going to PWN OOTP, which I just got on DVD. Can’t wait to see Gambon “camping it up!” And Harry/Ginny scenes make my blood boil: I’M HARRY’S GIRL, NOT GINNY!!!! ME AND GINNY SHARE THE SAME FRICKING BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!
NEVILLE!!!!!!!!!! I mean Matt Lewis looks awesome and very Deathly-Hallows-Nevilly actually, with that stubble. Oh when was Film 7 going to come out again…? What, we’re only on 6? hehhee
Yay for Quidditch. And though actors are different from the roles they play, Miss Watson is getting less and less Hermione-like by the minute. (Yes that was a bitchy irrelevant remark) Anyway, I’m glad Yates is directing because he did a good job on OotP… but Kloves’ scriptwriting again? shudders
My opinion on this video
Dan’s hair is hotter than ever, my jealousy of Bonnie Wright increases, Michael Gambon is Horcruxing it up like there’s no tomorrow, and of course, QUIDDITCH IS BACK (And the uniforms rawk!) Also: Malfoy’s new haircut, Sluggy’s house, Dan, Dan, more Dan, Emma Watson, the dude who plays Neville, Rupert on his Lav-Lav scenes, David Yates, and lots of Harry/Ginny (aarrrrrggh!) stoof,
ENJOY!!!!!!!
Ps: If you don’t watch it you will die of Lupus.
My rating: A+++
Pros: Dan’s hair, Dumbledore, Malfoy’s new haircut, seeing Dan as Harry again
Cons: Harry/Ginny, Rupert Grint/evil non-black Lav-Lav
Man, I wanna watch it, but at the same time I don’t want to spoil anyhthing for myself… This happened with GOF and I was completely unsurprised and bored because I already knew how everyting was set up in the movie because I cpoiled it too much for myself…oh nvm. just reading other poeple’s comments is enough, so I’m pretty excited about H/G and R/Hr and Horcruxes, action, voldie story, etc.
Sorry gfor the repost, but I’m extremely disappointed that ther won’t be any Gaunts in the movie…I wonder how they’re going to cover that one up…interesting…
The train & bathroom scenes and the Pensieve scenes and Slughorns party should be amazing. Why does Draco have a Clark Kent hairstyle?!? and a muggle suit again?? he was prettier in the 3rd film. :-(
Anastasia: Harry will play Quidditch in HBP. They have even created a new outfit for him. I guess the Quidditch storyline will be somehow important for both romances. But I really don´t think we need to worry that they will overdo the lighter, funny, romantic stuff and forget about the main – story. We know Horcruxes are being discussed. We know the cave – scene is in. We know Spinner´s End is in (Narcissa has been cast), that means the Snape, UV, Draco storyline is in.
I wished people would stop worrying so much.Yes, I am disappointed and slightly concerned that the Gaunts and Hepzibah Smith are not in it, but I have trust that they will be able to show the important stuff about Voldemort´s past and the Horcruxes in another way. I am optimistic that the film will be the best HP movie so far. It is still early enoug to re-evaluate my assessment when I finally watch the movie in the cinema. Until then, I look at it positively.
harry+ginny OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!bonnie looks PERFECT and dan stunning!i am really happy cause they add an extra scene of HARRY/GINNY!!anyway that scene must be one of the harry’s dreams about ginny!i am looking forward to see the great kiss in the common room!!!!go DAN&BONNIE!!!!
Yay for Leaky! :D Thanks for those! The movie looks like it’s gonna rock! But I hope they put in enough backstory, after all that’s what I found really important in the book, rather than the whole Ron/Lavender Ginny/Harry thing. :S But it looks pretty promising! I’m glad they’re putting that train scene in so we can see how horrible Draco is :P.
Looks like rupert is going to get his chance to shine. He’s got such great comedic skills and it looks like everybody is rooting for him. The triangle between ron/lav/hermione will be the highlight of the movie. It should be really funny. As for Bonnie, it does look like they are doing special angles and lighting on her. She does have unusual features about her so I doubt we’ll get a close up of her like we did with katie. They can work around Bonnies looks woth makeup, camera angles, etc. It’ll be okay. But it doesn’t matter since ginny is nonexistant in book 7. There will be so much in movie 7 there will be little time for romance other than the kisses between Ron/Hermione (saving the best for last) and evil Hermione and evil Harry, which Dan says he’s looking forward too. So really all this doesn’t matter between harry and ginny. it’s a one movie romance.
