The new trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince! (via The Leaky Cauldron).
But I’m just pissed because The Golden Compass wasn’t very good and didn’t get a sequel.
So there is no point of trampling chubby goth girls over it.
Just as we HP nerds at AT started to drool over the teaser trailer for the November theatrical release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, it’s release has been delayed until July 17, 2009! Stupify!
I can’t even imagine that far into the future and I just bought a new dayplanner! I predict that when the movie finally comes out: Our flying solar-powered electric cars will cause Exxon-Mobil to declare bankrupcy and mysteriously end funding to Al Quieda. President Obama and Vice President Chris Dodd will be calling for sensitivity during the war crimes trials of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. And why not: Cancer, AIDS and Alzheimer’s will be cured using Angelina Jolie’s stem cells. Unfortunately Christopher Reeve will walk out of his grave and devour all of the Death Eaters in Warner Bros. marketing department.
By the time they are finally finished with The Deathly Hallows (parts 1 & 2!?!) the Hogwarts kids will be old enough to play–wait a minute…you haven’t read the books yet.

Because we…are nerds.
Warning! I think this video is pretty stupid and not all that funny. However, i chuckled a couple times and its FULL of Harry Potter references. So try to enjoy.
According to a less than credible UK paper, Daniel Radcliffe’s life could be in great peril. (Dobby warned him that he must not go back to Hogwarts!) He is currently filming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and is under heavy protection from ex-SAS (thats limey speak for Navy Seal) Guards. They have been swapping vehicles to throw off Death Eaters any would be assailants. As far as I’ve read, there is just one dude after him; I bet it’s Voldemort! Ok maybe its not he-who-must-not-be-named but rather he-who-must-have-too-much-free-time.
His alleged stalker is just one guy in his 20’s (I guess that means that I’m a suspect). It is also reported that Radcliffe has asked for protection for his dogs. Fuck that, who is watching out for Hedwig? Anyone who is familiar with Harry Potter should know that this kind of cloak-and-dagger can only help his performance of the final Potter Book. Oh man, it makes me creamy thinking about the shit coming up. If you don’t know then I feel as sorry for you as pathetic Lost fans must feel for me. Something lights up in my chest when I see new trailers for this stuff and the music comes up at the end. It’s probably magic. If you haven’t read the books yet then here is your last chance to kill the things before the last 2 movies come out. Trust me when I say that you will be swallowed whole by the story and that this literary fever may not happen again for some time. Unless you have some sort of jesus-boner for that Narnia bullshit. In which case I disown you as a friend human. Messianic lions and Santa Claus bringing you weapons? What the fuck are you thinking!? Magical British Wizard childrens is way better. Duh. The Harry Potter books actually make the movies better when you know whats going to happen and what to look forward to (or what you dread seeing happen to characters you’ve become attached to). Its the kind of two-way experience from reading that doesn’t happen very often so you should probably get out and enjoy it now. Also you’ll have something to talk to strangers about in airports.
I leave you now with an AMAZING plot synopsis of Harry Potter for beginners (firsties).
