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!

This is BULLSHIT! Sorry to the younger crowd on here, but it is. I am so over WB and their crap right now and agree with the others who have said that they feel WB are taking HP fans for granted. I don’t know what infuriates me more, if they are just taking us for granted or if this is some sort of messed up marketing tactic. Either way I don’t appreciate being toyed with, its disrespectful. I’m not going to lose interest, but you can bet your ass I won’t be going back to see HBP more than once like I normally do. Again, sorry for the language, but I am too mad right now.

I’ve got a feeling it’ll be released with one of these movies:

• Mamma Mia! • Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D • Hellboy 2: The Golden Army • The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor • Star Wars: The Clone Wars • I still think that ComingSoon.com is lying, and it may be with The Dark Knight

Oh geez, this is ridiculous. Twilight has its trailer out already and it isn’t coming out until December.

I don’t think comingsoon.com would lie about the trailer not being with Dark Knight, because it would only add to the number of people who have been waiting to see that movie anyways.

wow. you know what, if the way some of you are behaving represents the harry potter fandom, then i want out. there’s no reason to be so rude and belligerent. you are not owed anything by wb. grow up a little, please, and be patient. go ahead and feel upset, because, yes, it’s a little let down, but seriously calm it down with the caps angst. you just look foolish.

Well, thankfully, once the trailer is out I can see it on line. I absolutely refuse to pay for or sit through one more craptacular Star Wars. I just can not do it, not for anything. That last one nearly did me in, I prayed for an asteroid to hit the theater so I wouldn’t have to finish it. My ride refused to leave short of that eventuality.

You all are the biggest bunch of whiners. Avada Kedevra me if you wish, but to get all huffy and puffy over a less than 60 second “teaser trailer” is ridiculous. To say your losing interest over the movie and feel totally taken for granted is just childish.

Why are we as fans so up in arms over what will most likely be quick shots of the Trio, Hagrid, Dumbledore, and death eaters over top of a quote probably by Dumbledore ending with a sweeping glimpse of a shot of Harry and Dumbledore going into the cave? (At least that is what I have imagined in comparison to the other teasers)

I understand that people are mad about the situation, but we can’t go all half-cocked and crazy eyed about something in which we don’t know all the facts of.

We’re all going to be seeing the movie teaser trailer or not….so calm down, take a deep breath…be happy that we’re getting a movie at all people.

Well . . . that’s disappointing. It seems that every month we get a new lead or two for the trailer, and every month those leads are proved false. All I have to say is that it had better be a heck of a teaser trailer when (IF) they release it. XD
