New ‘Half-Blood Prince’ Full Trailer Released!

A seemingly final, two-minute and twenty-second trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has come out, and it’s packed with new footage.  In fact, it’s almost too packed; fans of the book will recognize many scenes from very late in the story, so much so that I’d almost tell people who haven’t read Half-Blood Prince to skip it.

Then again, it’s a terrifically-cut trailer.  While previous trailers have alternated between making Half-Blood Prince seem like (A) a dark story about the origins of Voldemort or (B) a light-hearted series of teen romances, this one successfully intertwines both themes into a coherent whole (although darkness would seem to win out).  If you already know the story, check it out for yourself:

SPOILERS: Seriously, they revealed a lot, didn’t they?  Death Eaters in the Great Hall, Katie Bell being tortured, Ginny about to kiss Harry, Snape deflecting Harry’s spells, the creatures crawling out of the water in the cave, and Malfoy in the tower saying “I have to do this”?  That’s a lot of stuff I wouldn’t want to know if I hadn’t read the book already.
