A new poster for the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince film has now surfaced online. Thanks to Coming Soon for letting us know that at the Cinema EXPOin Amsterdam, Warner Bros displayed a few official posters and promotional material, including this poster of the logo for the sixth Harry Potter film. It simply bears the title, with the year at the bottom of the poster, and does not contain any new images alas.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is due in theaters November 21, 2008
I still have high hopes that the teaser-trailer will be in front of “The Dark Night” (which I was already planning on seeing, and if the teaser is before it, it will be an added bonus), but I cannot believe how long WB has taken to give us the trailer! The last teaser-trailer was before “Happy Feet”, which was nine months before the film release of “Order of the Phoenix”. Well, now it’s five months to the movie, and still no teaser-trailer? There have hardly been any pictures, and honestly, I am not interested in seeing the trio in the common room. I can understand if they don’t want to over-promote, like they did with “Goblet of Fire”, but this is ridiculous. If WB is smart, they will use the popularity of Batman to promote Harry Potter (c’mon, WB, seize the opportunity – they’re both box-office hits and have large fan bases!), and have the teaser in front of it. If not, I really doubt we’re getting one.
Come on people, get over it. I personally got my little shiver when I saw the poster. And I am sooooo looking forward to the movie, I’ll take any little “tease” WB gives us. Why shouldn’t they tease us in this way? It’s all marketing…they know they’re dangling the carrot in front of us little rabbits and we just want more, more, more. Just enjoy the feeling that HBP is actually on the horizon…enjoy the anticipation instead of complaining. Also, I really don’t think the trailer will be during the marathon on ABC…movie trailers are at the theatre, not on TV. One thing I don’t understand about some of you “fans”: why does waiting for the film and its treasers/trailers make you lose interest in the film? I don’t see that as being very “fan”-like at all.
Ummm, I think they forgot the main objects, dont you…..Harry, Snape, Draco and Dumbledore!
I bet a bunch of you savy artists out there can make a better poster. Melissa, Sue, start a contest for best HBP poster!
Carmen,
I think I can speak for all of us, just because we didnt like the poster doesnt mean we arnt looking foward to the movie. If we wernt, why would we be here on this site? What does exite me is, despite the horrible poster, or lack there of, we are getting closer and closer to trailer and photos!!! SQUEEEEE!
Kerri, I address my “fan” comment to those who earlier stated that this waiting and teasing was making them lose interest in the film. We are all fans so I just don’t understand why some people get frustrated to the point of saying that it is making them lose interest. I, personally, get giddy at any little news tidbit and teaser, etc. that comes out, however small it is.
I think it’s understandable that fans are frustrated. It’s not as if WB told us when the teaser will be released. Impatience of a release date and impatience of silence, not knowing how long to wait is very different. We’ve waited four months extra than usual for the teaser-trailer, and no – it’s not the end of the world, nor is it the most important thing to be worried about, I will say – but I can see how it can be a disappointment for the Harry Potter fandom. Except for NECA collectables, video game info, and a handful of (some repetitive) low-quality pictures from the movie, we haven’t had any real news or updates regarding the film. I think it’s fair to say we’ve been patient long enough, and I’m not going to get ecstatic over the few crumbs we’ve been given from the WB table. I just don’t see why they couldn’t have at least told us when to expect the teaser-trailer. I don’t think that’s unreasonable. Though however much longer we will have to wait for the teaser, or even there won’t be one, it certainly won’t change my excitement for the film. I think that goes without saying.
I totally agree with wanting more and dying with anticipation and all that great feeling that comes with an HP movie/book release. But just don’t let the lack of “big” info take that good feeling away. Just enjoy all of it, whatever it is and of whatever importance it is. And yes, however pathetic it may sound, I do get all “ecstatic over the few crumbs” WB is giving us…I LOVE the feeling of anticipation. It’s all positive. It’s all good. What’s the use of getting angry about it. Hi Steve :-)
What the hell?
That is it, no pictures or anything on it, is WB trying to kill us?
Really they are going to have an angry mob of fans breaking into their offices if they don’t release it soon. Look out for the news people.
thanx WB that real nice of you….. show us a picture that dosent help us at all and not give us a trailor to watch. your making every body angry i hope your happy when you have a mob outsite your door, like marian said.
"You two are so [i]stupid[/i]!" she shouted, stamping her foot on the ground, tears splashing down her front. Then, before either of them could stop her, she had given both of them a hug and dashed away, now positively howling.[br]"Barking mad," said Ron,
