Geeks around the world, rejoice! The first “real” trailer for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is here. There was one a while back, but it had no footage in it at all, just audio. So, this is the 6th movie, based off the 6th book, leaving one book left to become a movie. Book 7, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, is actually going to be split up into two movies. Some people think it’s a cheap trick to make more money, but hey, I’m glad. More movies means more content to enjoy. If you haven’t read the books, I won’t spoil the final movies for you. BUT, if you think the movies have been childish or “kiddy” in any way so far, put that out of your mind. The story is dark and mature now. The Harry Potter story really started getting dark at the end of book/movie 4, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I sure hope the final movies live up to the books, because for us fans, its the last we get, until 50 years from now when they probably remake the movies. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was originally coming out next month, in November, but was pushed back until Summer 2009, not because it wasn’t ready, but because a summer release might mean more money.
