Warner Bros. has officially announced
the worldwide satellite teaser trailer debut for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, meaning we should see the trailer online -- probably Tuesday -- and in theatres by the end of next week!
(Going by a similar announcement for Order of the Phoenix in 2006: the satellite debut was November 20, and the teaser was online the same day.)
Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information.
Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simmering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.
The film itself will be released on November 21, 2008.

Ahhh... we finally have a teaser trailer on the horizon! I feel like it took so long and that little 15 seconder was not anything worth getting excited about.
I enjoyed reading the synopsis, too.

YAY!!!! See, we put up with the rather disappointing teaser that was only fifteen seconds long and we are rewarded with a REAL trailer! Oh I'm so happy!

The trailer will be online on AOL the very same day, so if you can't catch it on satellite than no worries, you will still be able to see it.

It sounds.. like the book, ha. I can't wait to see it- I just wonder how they will depict the Horcruxes. If I recall correctly, they're not even mentioned in OotP...

Hopefully it will be much longer that the stupid 15 second trailer in IMAX theatres, that was basically pointless.

I hope they show us a proper trailer and not just a teaser. We've already had one teaser trailer -- and it was just as its name went -- a TEASER showing only the title! :P :D

I hope this one is as good as OOTP. I'm a little concerned at how high my hopes are. David Yates did such an awesome job. i have very high expectations.

YAYYYYYY.
Tuesday is going to be so amazing. (:
I can't decide whether or not they should've mentioned Harry's feelings for Ginny however, I think it would be better to shock those who haven't read the book.
But I guess it's us diehard fans who care about it the most anyway. (:
Eeeeeeee I have a feeling this film is going to be so good.
PLEASE show Rupert in Quidditch! (:
Can't wait!
