Empireonline.com has now launched a preview of the new edition of their magazine, which features an in-depth preview of the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince film. The cover features a brand new photo of a bloodied and tattered looking Dan Radcliffe as Harry Potter, which you can see here via this link. Harry’s glasses are cracked and the headline reads “Bloody Hell: Harry Comes Out Fighting.”

There is also an excerpt of the preview contained in this special magazine viewer available via this link (please allow for load time), which shows a second photo of a reflective Harry, standing in the corridors of Hogwarts. The preview excerpt reads “Dark times lie ahead for everybody’s favorite bespectaled wizard as he enters his penultimate year at Hogwarts. Having dealt with a tragic loss, a repeatedly resurrected nemesis and the awkward onset of puberty, Harry Potter’s six big screen outing finds him entering into a new and fateful stage of his life. We talk to cast and crew about making magic, floating corpses and approaching the saga’s end. “

Thanks Alejandro!

That picture is rather horridly realistic! Almost like the Empire is pitching the movie as a horror film….

Hmm. It took me a minute to figure out the ‘interactive’ part of the link. I wish I could magnify the page, though. I can’t quite read it. And since this is the August issue, we’ll probably get it sometime in late August / early September. That being said, I usually love Empire’s articles on almost any movie. At least it’s a tiny taste. But, WHERE’S THE TEASER TRAILER?

Personally, I think the photo looks good. Interesting, very interesting indeed.

Holy mother of a fricken banshee! That picture just totally got me pumpedddd. (: Maybe he’s so bloodied up because of the attack @ the Burrow? Or perhaps the battle towards the end?! OMG. This movie is going to ROCK now. =D

The interactive bit took longer than I thought it to load, but it was quite good. I really like the y profile shot of harry!

The cover might be when he goes and fights snape after snape kills dumbledore, what does anyone else think?

I really dont have a clue what the 2nd one could be.

holy…He looks so young! He looks beautiful even battered and bloody! I love the cover, Empire rarely covers HP at all. I can live without the trailor, the more we don’t see, the better the surprise i say.
