Description:

Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts turns out to be quite the exciting year. First off is the arrival of a new teacher at Hogwarts, Horace Slughorn, who is a bit more useful to Harry than he realizes. Next, Harry obtains a Potions book which used to be belong to the very mysterious Half-Blood Prince. Harry finds that the Half-Blood Prince's ancient scribbles are written along the margins of almost every page, giving Harry advice on how to improve greatly on his Potions work, and also teaching him a few helpful (and dangerous) spells along the way.

Amidst this, Harry is starting private lessons with Professor Dumbledore, during which Harry learns the dark secrets of Voldemort's past, hoping that they could use these secrets to find a way to defeat him.

Harry's year gets even more stressful with the suspicious actions of Draco Malfoy, who has been sneaking around the school doing, so Harry assumes, Voldemort's bidding. Harry quickly becomes determined, and slightly obsessed, to find out exactly what Malfoy has been up to and putting and end to it.

The release date is 21 November 2008

There's hopefully gonna be a teaser trailer released with the new Mummy movie, but that was also said for The Dark Knight, which didn't happen. So, fingers crossed!

A few more promo pics have been released, but they're all pretty uneventful and just of characters. I posted the Luna one for obvious reasons.

I love Luna's character in the Harry Potter movies. A gal ahead of her time.

I was so dissappointed with TGOF movie. Not that it was terrible - it just could've been so much better. The book was one of the best.

Goblet of Fire was always my favorite of the books (though I think Deathly Hallows comes very close). The binding on my copy of GoF is broken in a zillion places, always a sign I really like a book.
