TLC has gotten a new report today regarding a possible release date of the first teaser trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. While there have been many various rumors out there, we have a credible report saying the first HBP teaser will air in movie theaters before the second Narnia movie, Prince Caspian when it opens on May 16. Again while we believe this to be credible, please keep this in the rumor category for now until we can get confirmation from Warner Brothers.

On a related note, thanks to the many of you (including our friends at Snitchseeker.com) who emailed to say that “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” will be making it’s American network television debut on ABC Saturday April 26 at 8pm (ET). There are also rumors swirling regarding this too, claiming ABC may show new footage of Half-Blood Prince during the film. While this is very much unconfirmed, it is possible they will be airing some of the sneak peek excerpts of HBP as seen already on the OotP DVD, however at this point, we simply do not know what, if any, new preview will be aired. We are working to find out more about this,and will update with more when we can!

UPDATE: We’ve received word that no new HBP footage is planned to air during the network premiere of “Goblet of Fire.”

Cool. Very exciting. I can’t wait to see Prince Caspian too. The Narnia movies take so long to make.

That’s great, but for some reason I have not had the chance to watch trailer for OOTP, not even once :( hope it will be different with HBP!

Squee!!! I thought it would be released with this film! I’m so glad I was planning on seeing it anyway!

@Squibby

You can find the OOTP trailers in the video galleries here at Leaky. : – )

@matea

Teaser trailers tend to come out really early. I’m sure the actual full trailer won’t come out until mid-summer. I’ve actually seen teaser trailers for some films a full year before the film was released (which means I’m sick of the film before it’s released).

239 days to Half-Blood Prince….50 days to Prince Caspian.

Not that I’m counting.

(I’m ridiculously pleased to see my icon back. Thanks, Leaky.)
