Secrets of the 'HBP' teaser trailer: Greyback and more Popular (13304)

Thanks to intrepid sleuths, careful examination of the teaser trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince reveals what looks like the first image of renegade werewolf Fenrir Greyback and -- near the end of the video -- the "avada kedavra" of a certain major character.

First, the werewolf who infected Remus Lupin is seen briefly growling and prowling in the tall grass... Fenrir Greyback? You be the judge:

(MTV's shot-by-shot analysisopens in new window also assumes it is Greyback.)

Close to the end, just three single frames reveal what appears to be the effects of death curse "avada kedavra" on the major character (highlight for spoiler: « Dumbledore ») destined to die in Prince. This gem was originally uncovered by RottenTomatoes, which later mysteriously disappeared (but thanks to Google's cacheopens in new window you can still see it). UPDATE: As many of you have kindly pointed out, the scene bears more of a resemblance to the death of « Cedric Diggory » in Goblet of Fire. It was likely used in the trailer to demonstrate the evil things Voldemort will do/has done.

Thanks to Tyleropens in new window for the Fenrir Greyback tip!

Oh, come on, why the need for spoiler warnings and the like - here, on HPANA? Anybody worthy of being called a Harry Potter fan would deem it ridiculous that spoiler warnings were needed three years after the story was told.

As for the images of Greyback - I'm not sure if it is him although it does seem likely. The Avada Kedavra bit I really have no idea about.

I support HPANA!

Extendable Ears says:

I hadn't thought about Fenir Greyback, oh I hope he'll end up being as creepy as he was in the book. Also have to say that I'm glad to hear that the AK scene will be closer to the one from GoF. I think that more closely resembles how the book describes the death than in how it was portrayed in OotP. I'm looking forward to seeing more in future trailers!

He looks scary to say the least! It surely is Greyback what with all that prowling shown. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see for sure.

That thing that is supposed to be Dumbledore is Cedric Diggory getting killed in the Goblet of Fire that's why it has "the resemblance" compare the picture and the movie, the background is the graveyard, Sorry!

I saw a trailer today that came on before the Sisterhood movie. But I do not know if it was the same trailer as above. I would watch the clip, by unfortunatley I only have dial up for internet and therefore only gives me snail like speed. blah. I will watch it soon!!!
