Bad News: No "Half-Blood Prince" Teaser Trailer with New Batman Movie

It would seem our streak of good news has come to an end, as Coming Soon.com is reporting today they have confirmed the trailers that will be shown before the new Batman film, “The Dark Knight,” and a teaser trailer for “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” is NOT among those listed. Putting an end to the earlier rumors that at long last we might see a teaser trailer for the sixth Harry Potter film, Coming Soon also speculates that they believe it might be shown as late as August 15, in front of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” however that is unconfirmed at this time. So its back to the waiting and guessing time again folks, sorry!

Thanks Lewis and Nigel!

I’m starting to think there is no Half-Blood Prince film. Movie Six is just a big hoax! ......Okay but seriously, WB, can’t you just tell us when the trailer will be released? We’re dying of dehydration here….plzkthx

This is getting ridiculous. I’m actually losing interest in this film, and the sixth novel was my favorite in the series. Never in my life have I lost interest in anything Harry Potter related. Is it really that difficult to string a few scenes into a teaser trailer? Get your act together WB.

*shakes head….. The Dark Knight has been the only thing I’ve been looking forward to. This is so disappointing. Then I hope the “teaser” will be the REAL trailer, because it seems a little late for a teaser.

I was so sure that they were waiting to premiere the trailer in the comiccon. But I just read the warner bros line up for comiccon and I cant see Harry Potter there.

So wtf? What are WB waiting for?

At least show us the montage you previewed in Amsterdam

I don’t know why but this really annoys me :( And where the bloody hell is the official movie website from WB? On the bright side, we are only four months away from the movie people :) Can’t wait!

This sucks! I have my money on Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D. There’s no way they’re going to release a TEASER trailer 4 months before the movie comes out. That’s bullcrap.

Dunno…maybe there are too many special effects scenes so they cannot actually put a trailer? Let’s think about it…hmmm…Hogsmeade,Diagon Alley,the Burrow, the Cave,Quidditch,the Astronomy Tower,the battle at Hogwarts,Spinner’s End,the Pensieve…all these scenes need lots of CGI so maybe they couldn’t have finished all that and they can’t release a teaser trailer because their footage is lacking?Maybe the ready scenes aren’t that “catchy” for a trailer…Who knows…

Actually,I tend to believe that there is going to be no teaser trailer. Logically, there will be a domestic trailer and an international trailer. I hope they will release them in the period of late August-middle September or else they’ll suck. And I hope it will worth it…

maybe what they are doing is that it sucks so bad they had to redo the movie,or maybe they are goingto put in a movie without saying anything and let it be suprise.

And also…I dont’ believe this news because Comingsoon.net does NOT seem like a credible source. I’m not going to believe it until WB announces it or until I go see The Dark Knight on July 18th.
