Though I'm still surprised we didn't see the first trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince before The Dark Knight, we've luckily only had a short wait. The trailer is here! And while the title bears the name of the ostensible lead character, it's all about Tom Riddle in the sixth movie of the series. The filmmakers seem to have found a structure within J.K. Rowling's book by focusing on Dumbledore and Harry's efforts to explore Riddle/Voldemort's past. We see a lot of the 10-year-old Riddle, whom Dumbledore visits in the orphanage, and a few glimpses of what's to come-- including a second or two of the ghostly white, scary-as-all-get-out Voldemort as played by Ralph Fiennes.
Of course, this is just a teaser, so who knows how much of it will apply to the actual movie. But who cares! It's the new Harry Potter, and it promises to be even darker than the ones that have come before it. Even though we now know how the series ends in the books, it's no less exciting to see it all play out on the screen. See the trailer below, along with four new images from the film just sent over to us by WB.
