Actually, if you look at the pics on Mugglenet, it looks like it’s Harry, Fenrir, and Ginny in the field. So maybe Fenrir goes after Ginny during the attack, and Harry tries to save her or something. (Although I doubt Ginny will need saving.) Which makes my shipper heart happy, even if it is seriously non-canon. Or maybe Harry’s having a bad dream to that effect. ---

Bathrobe, you say? I simply must get home to check this trailer out. ---

[QUOTE=Sampiro] I like Voldemort’s 1940s appearance better in this than I did in _Chamber of Secrets_, where the late lamented Richard Harris of Blessed Memory looked just like he did in dotage but with redder hair. [/QUOTE] Uh, do you mean Dumbledore? 😕 ---

[QUOTE=Mahaloth] Uh, do you mean Dumbledore? 😕 [/QUOTE] I think so. In Chamber of Secrets, Harry enters into Tom Riddle’s memory via the diary–and Dumbledore is in it, looking just as old as he does in the present, but with red hair. It was a bit a jarring. That one image of AD (in the trailer) in the doorway of Tom’s room as he glances back (Tom is bragging he can talk to snakes)–Gambon looks just Ian McClellan to me (I thought Gandalf with a suit and short hair). Weird… I think they must have upped Ginny’s role in this movie which is fine by me. I do hope Lavender Brown is in it, though. (for Ron) ---

I wonder if they’re going to show Ginny dating Dean–I hope so. It adds a certain undercurrent to book 7. Bunsen burners in Potions class? How muggle-y… ---

[QUOTE=Love Rhombus] Looks like Draco grew into himself. [/QUOTE] Looking at those eyes, they could almost use [Anthony Michael Hall](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001309/) as the older version of him at the end of Deathly Hallows. ---

The cave scene is gonna be awesome. I can’t wait to see Dumbledore in action against the Inferi. (of course that’s mitigated by what happens shortly after…but I digress) ---

**BUMP.** [A new one. Looks good.](http://harrypotter.warnerbros.com/harrypotterandthehalf-bloodprince/) Still pissed they’re releasing it in July though (and still think it’s going to backfire on them- won’t flop by any means, but I think it’d make more at Xmas for several reasons). ---

Are there any deleted or extended scenes (and particularly do you find out about Umbridge/the Dementors)? ---

Happy birthday to me, July 17, the release date is my birthday, but I’d rather have it for Christmas. I love the beginning where Dumbledore says “I bet you’re wondering why I brought you here.” and Harry says “after all these years I’ve learned to just go with it.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/harry-potter-and-the-half-blood-prince-official-trailer/458178.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/harry-potter-and-the-half-blood-prince-official-trailer/458178.md?page=3)
