Two weeks ago when The Dark Knight premiered, Warner Bros. posted an IMAX trailer for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Unfortunately, it only consisted of some brief dialogue accompanied by the title credits. The only attention it ended up receiving was a brainless 30 seconds that would then be wiped from the viewers memories by the proceeding 2 1/2 hours of Batman brilliance.
Needless to say, Warners probably felt they needed to come up with something juicier fast (especially with their lack of HP presence at Comic Con this past weekend. Who's getting fired for that one?). Thankfully, this one pays off. Check it out after the jump!
While this doesn't contain any real footage of Harry, it does good on setting the chilling tone of the mysteries to be revealed in HPATHBP regarding that pesky Captain of the Creepos, Voldemort. Ralph Fiennes, who plays Voldemort, even has his own nephew (Hero Fiennes-Tiffin) portraying him as the young Tom Riddle. The kid does a great job in the brief scenes here, showing that curiosity for his newfound power, and those hints of how he'll abuse it. Oh yeah, and that shot of Dumbledore in kickass flaming wizard mode (no pun intended) gave me the tinglies.
With no more books to come, I'm pumped that this one looks to keep that unique streak alive and make an even more satisfying Harry Potter film than the last.
