Rumor Rumor, it's Another "Half-Blood Prince" Rumor Alert

We have several pieces of news regarding Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince today, including yet more rumors on the long awaited teaser trailer and more.

First, scores of readers let us know about this very small photo that has now surfaced online, showing a different angle of the previously officially released photo of the trio in the common room. While this new photo is small indeed, you can see more of the students sitting in the room.

This photo first surfaced on this site, curiously posted by the person who revealed the earlier photo of what seems to be Harry looking in a filing cabinet from Half-Blood Prince, and who has now apparently posted something that is claimed to be the teaser poster.UPDATE: Thanks much to WB for confirming that yes indeed, that poster is FAKE. We have also received many reports from readers of that site and elsewhere the teaser trailer for HBP will now be shown in front of Get Smart, when that film is released on June 20. Other reports are coming to TLC saying the international trailer will be released in front of the new Batman film, The Dark Knight when that opens in July. While we are as anxious as you for the teaser trailer, please note that all of this is very much unconfirmed, and should remain firmly in the RUMOR category the time being. We have contacted WB to find out more about this new photo, trailer dates and more, and will update of course as soon as we can.

Thanks to everyone who emailed.

Obviously the poster is fake. Why? Because Dudley did not accompany Dumbledore in the cave, hahaha

Ahh memories of a certain photo caption contest. I think I will uncontrollably laugh like heck when this serious scene appears in the film much to the bewilderment of those around me.

I think HBP will be a much better movie than OOtP, because something really major happens. My nephew and niece have never read the books but they have always gone to see the movies. Up until OOtP, they always liked the movies, but when I asked them about OOtP, they didn’t like it that much because the series was getting boring with the same characters fighting the same enemy over and over again and nothing getting resolved. But I don’t think they’ll have the same complaint about HBP because some things start to get seriously resolved (like Snape and Dumbledore’s fates).

I don’t understand…. Why is it taking so long for the trailer to be released? The movie is coming out in 6 months and the only thing that has been officially released is two pictures! I hope they are making something GREAT this time and that’s why it’s taking so long… The picture is fake (Harry is too fat and Dumbledore’s picture is from the 3rd movie I think when he is welcoming the students)

I don’t know whether it was the actual trailer or just the teaser, but one of the trailers for OotP was attached to Spiderman 3, and that wasn’t too much of a kids movie. Just voicing my thought…

The “Twilight” movie is coming out a few weeks after Harry Potter, and the teaser trailer for that came out several weeks ago. It should come out very, very soon.

Plus, there is this certin excitement with Twilight because it the first movie and everything and MTV is doinf Twilight Tuesdays. Harry Potter might loss money because of Twilight.

You know you’ve hit rock bottom when you’re actually excited about a tiny possibly-faked picture from anther angle.

THIS IS WHY JUNE IS TOO FAR AWAY.

LOL. HP will not lose money to Twilight. Many of Twilight’s fans are also HP fans. They’ll see both films, not just one.

The teaser trailer better come out with Get Smart or I’ll just lose my mind.

The Poster had a nice pic with it but it was obviously FAKE.

As for the trailer, Yea I expected before now, Speed Racer was my bet being such a great movie, but that didn’t happen. Prince Caspian would have ben another great one. I mean Half Blood Prince before Prince Caspian, gets stuck in the mind doesn’t it.

Any way My next bet goes for “Get Smart” Thats going to be laugh. The dark Knight is just a way to late for a teaser trailer. I expect a Real trailer during that one.
