HBO started airing a “First Look” series this weekend focused entirely on Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It’s filled not only with mountains of detailed, never before seen footage from the sixth Potter film, but also tons of behind the scenes cast interviews and filmmaker discussion of just what it took to make what will almost certainly be the most ambitious entry in the franchise yet.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince opens on July 15th. Thanks to the folks over at Snitch Seeker you can start getting your head right with Potter now, by watching the entire 12-minute HBO First Look below in two parts:
