Harry Potter 6 Trailer



Here's the new trailer for Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince. Half-Blood Prince is probably my favourite of J K Rowling's sorcery school books - Harry is finally taken into Dumbledore's confidence, experiencing journeys in time through Dumbledore's bottled and noted memory bar.

Half-Blood Prince is a twisting, snaking companion piece to the second Potter tale: Chamber of Secrets. As in Chamber, Half-Blood takes great delight in drawing an alarming number of parallels between Tom Riddle / Voldemort and our young hero Harry. Both orphans, both perpetually stranded in summer love limbos yearning for Hogwarts, both able to communicate with serpents. Harry and Riddle are contrast doppelgangers locked into mutual extermination. I'm a sucker for twin war! Half-Blood Prince is the calm head-think breather before all-out Wizardpocalypse.

Investigate his past! Learn his weakness!
