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.

Well golly gee! Of course they’re from Order of the Phoenix. Just look at them! And Dan doesn’t even look like that now! Ugh. I’m so freaking disgusted. I NEED A MOTHERLY-GOD TRAILER!

I really hope they ar enot using old pics for the actual calender! I live in German and I do want a new HP calender for 2009, but not one with old pic in it, dammit!

NO NO NO!! This isnt correct, im german, i understand everything on that side perfectly, the cover now isnt the final cover, and the calendar will indeed include the pics of the new film, i have the other calenders from ootp and gof and they always have the pics of the newest film, believe me!!!

It’s too bad that the game won’t be released until after the movie. I think this is the first game that hasn’t come out before the movie. Hopefully the extra time they’re spending on it will make it better than the others.

@Dobby: ja, ich kann mir auch nicht denekn, dass die so nen Mist machen würde. I’ve got the OotP calender too, hanging in miy kitchen, and of course it’s got the right pics in it, but why the heck to they have to make up a fake cove, and one that does not even look good?

@Kim: If you really want the calender, I could check for you or else find a way to send it over to the US when they come out, but then again I would wait a bit for the prize to sink a bit!
