Warner Bros. has released a bunch of new photos from Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I’ve sorted through them and picked out the new and best ones.
Half Blood Prince is finally hitting theaters on July 15th. It was originally supposed to be released back in November 2008, but was pushed all the way back until now, because for some reason, the studio thought it would make more money during the Summer movie season.
A pretty ridiculous move; a Harry Potter fan will see the movie whenever it comes out, snow or sunshine. Everybody else will probably not see it. You’re not going to bring in new fans just because it’s Summer; especially when it’s the 6th movie in the series, and you would need to see the first 5 before seeing this.
Okay, okay, I was angry for months, but I’m happy now. I’m really anxious actually. Half Blood Prince was definitely one of the best of the 7 books, and I hope the movie lives up to it. I know it won’t, but maybe it can still be good. The previous 5 movies were no where near as good as the books, I still liked them though. I’ve been a fan for nearly 10 years, I can’t stop now. Luckily for me, the books grew more mature and dark as I grew up, so they were never too “kiddy” for me at the point when I read them.
Half Blood Prince and the seventh movie, Deathly Hallows will be a shock to the fans of the movies who haven’t read the books. No more happy, fun, or easy times. It’s war, death, murder, torture, and life after school. Also, if you’re a fan of the movies and haven’t read the books, do yourself a favor and read the books. You’ll never be a true fan until you know the actual story and every chapter.
Check out the new photos below, and be sure to be at the midnight opening for all the cosplayers and excited fans.
With all the big movies coming out this Summer, I’m betting Half Blood Prince is going to be the biggest. Wolverine came out yesterday, Star Trek comes out next Friday, Angels & Demons on the 15th, Terminator Salvation on the 21st, and then Transformers 2 on June 24th followed by Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince on July 15th. I know there are other good movies coming out, but those are the big names of the Summer, and I’m guessing Harry Potter will make the most money. Let’s hope it lives up to the book.
That’s right. I’ve used an unforgivable curse. Sue me.Warner Bros has released 4 new character posters for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince featuring it’s new release date and of course, the characters.
All of these photos are from the latest trailer that came out last night. The best trailer for the movie, hands down.
