Update: Originally thought to be possible new “Half-Blood Prince” photos seen on the Carlsen website, turns out the pics used by the German publishers of the Harry Potter books for their 2009 calendar are unfortunately old rehashed photos from OotP pics- sorry folks!

New however, is pre-orders are now available for the computer game only (Windows XP/Vista platform) for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which according to Amazon, is due to be released on November 30, 2008 and has a current retail price of $29.99.

Maria, I also think the images are from OotP, especially the solo picture of Dan. Or, it could just mean that HBP will look EXACTLY like OotP, which is possible i guess.

It’s not the final cover.

These photos are not new. They are darkened and enhanced images from OotP. The one of the trio may “look” new, but it’s clearly from Movie 5; Emma’s hair is too identical. Films are styled differently so that stars’ looks can be distinguishable from previous films.

I’m 100% positive these are false.

I agree, those are definitely images from OotP.

They are from OOTP, the trio one is when Seamus is talkiing to them in the great hall saying he believes Harry and the solo one is in the room of requirement, I know that because its at the beginning of the UK OOTP 2008 calendar. Le poo

hehe, you know as soon as I saw these pics I knew they were from OotP… I looked at Dan and realised he had Order hair… I didn’t need to even look at Emma or Rup. Though I’m the kind of person who picks up on someones hair… being as I’m a hairdresser!

max is right, this is not the final cover. Vorläufig means provisional or temporary. And so the waiting for new photos continues… :-(

Maria, I guess English is not your first language (it is n’t my first language either), because it doesn’t make sense to say someone is wrost than ever, when you are looking at a pic, even more when it’s not an actual pic. Learn the language and then maybe you could bash, which is the only thing some people knows to do… how sad.

These pics are only temporary. They’ll probably release the new HBP pics when the calendar is on sale in mid-July. Still have to wait a couple of weeks though.
