It’s the start of a new month, and time for a new batch of rumors regarding a possible description of the teaser trailer for “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” While there have been several floating around on the net in the past few weeks, TLC has received a description that is of some merit. The report says again that the trailer is still tentatively attached to Prince Caspian/Narnia on the 16th, and that the trailer will clearly show the darkening tone of the series, “with footage of the attack on the Burrow” as evidence of this. Reportedly, trailer shots will include a taunting Bellatrix, Draco on the train, Slughorn, Snape in a pivotal moment, Dumbledore in the cave, and clear evidence of the developing Harry/Ginny relationship. There are also quick glimpses of Quidditch, the Trio, and a bit of humor from Ron. Please note: As exciting as this sounds, please keep this very much in the rumor category for now. We are hopeful that WB will be releasing photos and more information on a trailer in the coming days, and will update with more on this when we can.

This sounds exciting. Can’t wait to see it. Snape at a pivotal moment..Hmm, intriguing. Squee for showing ‘clear evidence’ of Harry/Ginny. They have kind of neglected that aspect in the past and missed out on a couple of chances in OotP. I also hope they do the R/Hr development justice and don’t just use Won-Won/Lav-Lav for comic relief. Or worse… make Ron look like complete git.

And some humour from Ron? Oh how much I hope they take JKR’s wonderful Ron humour and not these completely unfunny ‘bloody hell’s. :)

Oooooh i’m so excited “clear evidence of the developing Harry/Ginny relationship. There are also quick glimpses of Quidditch” Yaaaay! Also as everyone else has said the attack on the Burrow is a scene which has been added to remind us that nowhere is safe. Apparently it has been approved by J.K Rowling (also i heard somewhere that Rowling originally wrote a scene similar to it but it never made the book)

Yeah. The burrow is never attacked in the HBP. I have that book practically memorized and its not attacked at all. I think all this is just a rummor.

I’m on this site every day so don’t ask me how i missed the one about the new scene being added for HBP but i’m so glad i was wrong about it. Thanks for clearing it up everyone who did (about the burrow now getting attacked in this film), i’m as excited as all of you are now…............WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, TRAILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Accio hp7, there NEVER was clear evidence of H/G before this book. There were hints but there were also hints of H/Luna (and this book showed a disappointing lack of luna too, to me). I hope they do it well .

I like this rumor a lot : ) when can we expect the trailer? I’ve read somewhere May 16th? can’t wait.

Aidan and Zoe, if you’ve been checking in here at Leaky, you would know that WB has ADDED a scene (not in the book) involving an attack on the Burrow. Please try to keep up people.

I really want to know where Leaky is getting their info from. IMDB gets rumors all the time but is this something specifically sent by a person who has seen the trailer and let Leaky know? WB won’t even comment on the trailer nor will they release photos or anything. This is the most amazing movie and will mean so much for the film series in terms of quality of the filmmaking. I really they blow it all out of the water because this story will really set the series apart. I can’t wait for the trailer! Really hoping it will be in front of Prince Caspian!!!!!!

OMG! This is so exciting. This is the movie all us H/G shippers have been waiting for. SQUEE!

YESS!!! H/G! About time. This actually sounds more credible in terms of the different types of scenes they would show in the first teaser trailer than the rumored one going round before – and it makes sense that they would show a bit of the new Burrow attack scene since that transcript had leaked out a bit.

Can’t believe I’m admitting this – for the first time in my life I’m considering buying a ticket to a movie just to see one of the trailers before it. That is just wrong. :-)

Just reading this article caused my heartbeat to surge! I can’t wait to see the trailer, and am planning to attend the earliest showing of Prince Caspian just to see it. XD

נו שהטריילר יצא כבר עושה רושם שהסרט יהיה יפה, אני כבר לא יכולה לחכות ^^

Aidan – The “attack on the Burrow” was an added scene that is non-canon but will make more of a point in the film apparently. There’s a script of it somewhere and evidence that it will be included (possibly during Christmas?).

AHHH yay! H/G is my OTP! So, I hope this is right! I cannot wait two weeks!?
