I dont ever remember the teaser coming out that late in the year before the movie, so I am not sure, I guess non of us really knows.

@BellaSnape: I don’t feel like doing the math, but I looked it up and the first teaser trailer for the OOTP movie (that 50 sec. one) came out in November 17, 2006, so that was like 8 months before the movie came out and the first groups of pictures came out way before that. So I think we should definitely be getting some good pictures and maybe even a teaser trailer sometime soon! Yay!!!

I already know what it is, Mr. Weasley will come in and say, “I’ve got bad news everyone..

George Bush has just been reelected to office.

The muggles think I was just a disaster caused by electorial votes but..

it was really the Dark Lord.”

END SCENE.

i think this means there will be no “the other minister” scene at the beginning :(

@vicky: snitchseeker revealed quite awhile ago that Warner Bros. had told them that the other minister, Hepzibah smith, and the Gaunts had all been cut from the film. I think this news is probably true especially since we haven’t heard any news about casting of any of those characters. I really don’t think any of them are that important. Obviously important events happens around Hepzibah and the Gaunts, but i think they can work around that in the movie. They can find out some other way for Harry to learn about the goblet and the locket horcruxes.

If out of all the charaters not cast (just saying because we havent had any word yet.) I think Hepzibah Smith is important and should be kept in. I dont see the point of cutting out characters from the books in the films! I understand that they save on time and money but honestly its not a big deal to keep them! Harry shouldnt have to learn about the goblet and the locket horcruxes another way! There wouldnt even be a movie if it wasnt for the books so they should stay true to them! As far adding in a scene that wasnt in the book, I figured they would have too. And with JK blessing Im sure it was written well enough. Adding in scenes to add something they should have had in a previous movie or adding scenes to convey something hard to portray without dialouge from the books are fine with me as long as they stay true to canon.

“I think Hepzibah Smith is important and should be kept in.”

I agree. The locket and goblet both make an appearance in that scene and it also shows how LV knew about them and the look of greed in his eyes. Three important points rolled into one. I would have thought it the perfect scene of all of the memories to keep (along with Tom Riddle orphanage, which I know they have kept).

HOW DO I SEE THE SCENE… I”VE LOOKED EVERYWHERE! HELP

@g1975, calm down dear, the scenes we are talking about are not even complete they are sneek peeks- you can either see them by putting in the special features disc of the OOTP movie in your PC, or much easier just go to youtube and type in Half- Blood Prince sneek peaks.There are two of them. one shows Draco on the Hogwarts express the other shows costumes and orphanage set design.

I think g1975 might have been talking about the controversial leaked scene we’ve been discussing. If so, it was on the first page of these comments, but it’s since been deleted (by the moderators, I’m assuming). If you want to read the scene, g1975, you might try going to the IMDb message boards, as I believe that’s where it first appeared.

oops! my bad, sorry I guess since he/she said “see” I thought they wanted to actually watch something- not the one that is unknown around here that you read.

@anne: I agree that I would rather see Harry discover the goblet in the Hepzibah Smith scene too, but i’m pretty sure its not gonna happen and i’ve sort of come to terms with it. I mainly wanted to see because of Tom RIddle, his reactions in that memory just freaky and i think they would have looked awesome on-screen. But filming is still early, so maybe they will add that scene back in like they did with Kreacher in OOTP. but I’m not expecting every single thing from the book to be in the movies, because that would be ridiculous and i think we know by now that that’s not gonna happen. but Steve Kloves got alot of stuff from book 4 into that movie and I think the 6th book is shorter than the 4th book.

SON OF A BEESTING!!! i nearly had a heartattack when i read that HBP was coming out in Nov. i am going to count down the days and i am going on opening day even if i have to sleep outside the theater, also question there not going to show that Harry starts liking Ginny in HBP because that’s a BIG part in this book, tear.

@ HP*Fan_: Never fear, the Harry/Ginny storyline is most definitely being included in the movie. Daniel Radcliffe, Bonnie Wright, David Yates (the director), and David Heyman (the movie’s producer) have all talked about it in interviews.

In fact, not only have they included the Harry/Ginny storyline, they’re also including the Dean/Ginny storyline: in interviews, Yates has talked about Harry’s “unrequited feelings for Ginny,” and Heyman has said that Harry “has a crush on Ginny” in this movie, “but she’s going out with Dean Thomas.” And they’re even bringing back Cho Chang; Katie Leung (the actress who plays Cho) has said that she’ll have a brief role in the movie so the audience can see that Harry has moved on and now likes Ginny and not Cho.

So don’t worry, the Harry/Ginny storyline will definitely be given its due. ;) If you’d like to see a scene from one of the Harry/Ginny moments, you might go to YouTube and type in “Half-Blood Prince sneak peek.” One of the sneak peaks there has a shot of Harry and Ginny… well, not kissing exactly, but standing like an inch apart; it’s definitely a romantic moment. Enjoy!

yes the youtube videos are good to keep us hanging until the trailer and movie, and I dont think we have to worry about romance or dark stuff because they both have been confirmed. Dan, one of the producers and the official plot says that there will be dark stuff and Dan even says that it will get darker than the OOTP ever was.

Have there been any new sneak peak videos besides the first two or three that we’ve gotten? i’ve never pulled that stuff up with my OOTP dvd, so i’m not sure how i would be able to tell.

I’m not aware of any new sneak peeks, except the three that have already been floating all over fandom for months now: one that features interviews with Dan, Emma, Rupert, and David Heyman and also shows filming of certain scenes (Dumbledore and Harry entering Slughorn’s home, Malfoy on the train, the Harry/Ginny near-kiss, etc.); one that features a behind-the-scenes look at the wardrobe and costuming; nd one that features a behind-the-scenes look at the art direction.

I’ve always learned to be skeptical of this kind of thing, but when I saw the script, I thought it looked reasonably good, and if it is the actual thing, then it’s a good scene and I approve of it.

I am still a bit skeptical, but I still like it. I hope it is authentic.

@Athena: it could be the real scene. but i really don’t want to be spoiled. i was kind of spoiled for movies 4 and 5 and after that when i saw the movie it almost felt like i had already seen it. especially for movie 4 because they released all those clips of full scenes. and for movie 5 they had all of those advanced screenings and i read the beginning of one that said word for word how the movie opened. so im gonna to try to stay away from spoilers this time around. but if the new scene is some type of conflict at the burrow then i think it’s a great idea and i can’t wait to see it in the movie.

you know I really hate to say this but people on IMDb are very crude and rude very seldom do I come across someone who actually can see reason behind someone elses thoughts but there own- all that is on those boards is bickering and bickering. And for my friends on here and probably everyone by now there is this one poster that doesnt want to give Helen McCrory a chance at being Narcissa and I think that to just dismiss someone because they dont come with the exact look you had in mind is really juvenile- it made me want to puke. I mean my God look at Jason her On screen husband he has as dark of hair as her and no one says anything I think people just cant get past themselves in this situaiton and it makes me sad to know that there are some out there that conceited. I want to cry. For the lords sake just give them a chance before you talk. And people tell me to go to IMDb, I see no reason why. sorry I had to vent.
