Good day muggles!With the most anticipated film of the summer – The Dark Knight – out and reigning over the box office, we can once again go about speculating as to when the teaser or full length trailer of the Half Blood Prince will be released. Moviegoers to the IMAX release of The Dark Knight caught a glimpse of the 25 second mini-trailer, but we all know that ain’t enough!!!
Harry Potter fans did get a bit lucky over the weekend with the release of a new image from the sixth film, which shows Harry and Professor Slughorn in Potions class.
So, what does the image tell us?
Glad you ask! Well, the photo is certainly from very early in the film, the first day of Potions class, in fact. It’s when Harry wins a small amount of Felix Felicis in a contest started by Professor Slughorn. I can say this with much certainly, because, quite frankly, it’s the only thing that it could possibly be. It can’t be Slughorn’s memory because that scene takes place at Hagrid’s cabin. It can’t be an antidote for Ron because Harry wouldn’t be as friendly-looking, or in his robes, or holding his potions book. Also, did anyone notice that the vial isn’t the same “golden” color it was in the book?
I mentioned the potions book…for those who may have forgotten (don’t know why though!), it’s the book first owned by the Half-Blood Prince himself, and given to Harry on the first day of Potions class. Notice its torn covers, its worn, beat up look – another clue that this takes place early in the film, because Harry hasn’t had time to replace the binding yet.
Alas, we find ourselves waiting again...for another photo...or for the much-awaited movie trailer! In the meantime, keep twiddling those dials. The next password will be Fire Whisky!
