As the summer movie season start to sizzle, publicity for this winter's Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is getting a head start, with new reports from both Empire Magazine and USA Today surfacing online.
First, from Empire Magazine
, a few pictures and a preview of their report:
USA Today has also published their first teaser report about the film:
Harry, now 16, is suspicious of Malfoy, and he works with Dumbledore to retrieve memories pertaining to the evil Lord Voldemort. But, being a teen as well as a wizard, he is drawn to Ginny Weasley (Bonnie Wright), the younger sister of Ron (Rupert Grint).
Do Harry and Ginny share a magical snog?
"They're about to kiss," director David Yates says. "Then the bloody Death Eaters turn up and cause all sorts of anarchy."
UPDATE: USA Today has added new photos to their report!

Wow, Dan looks good on the cover. I have to get it. Harry & Ginny have to kiss, they must be about to kiss when the DE turn up, but they will after the quiddich match.

(*dances around room as there's FINALLY something in the media about Harry!!*)
I was so excited when I saw this article, I accidentally disconnected my modem! Aaaaaarrrgggh!!!
Wow, Dan sure does look YOUNG in the cover photo! He looks younger than he did in Prisoner of Azkaban!
Loved the photos, and loved the article.
One question however - I have the August issue of Empire Magazine Australia - and NOTHING whatsoever about Harry Potter. Nothing on the cover. No article. It's all about The Dark Knight. Weird ...

Meep meep!
I am soooo excited! This film is going to 100% awesome! :D Bring on ze trailer!
And to those of you who are complaining that the movies should stick to the books and all that, can i remind you that the films are BASED on the books, not remakes! JK agrees to any changes made, and that should be good enough for everyone!

finally, some more stuff. if you think about it, last november we got a teaser trailer for order of the phoenix. which was like, 8 months before the movie came out, and its now july, 5 months before the movie comes out and all we have is some pictures and a logo. maybe they took longer to make the movie which is a good thing. but i hope the trailer will be with The Dark Knight cause that's coming out soon, plus i was already planning on seeing that.

He said Harry and Ginny don't kiss. That's BS if I ever heard. They have to kiss. Harry and Cho got to kiss, Harry and Ginny HAVE to kiss, and Ron and Hermione surely have to kiss. They better not take Ron and Hermione's kiss away, or I'll have to kill someone!
Don't Ginny and Harry kiss at Hogwarts? After the quidditch match, he must mean before when they almost kiss. They do know how to toy with your mind...

Such exciting news and pictures!
I can't wait until the movie is released. I hope I can get my hands a copy of that magazine or at least a copy if the article on-line to read it.

I'm really glad to have some news! I'm really DOWN that it suggests there's no real kiss between Harry and Ginny. I really hope that's a misunderstanding. There are some events that can come and go, but when characters kiss it's KIND OF important, and it's quick enough for them to be able to add without a problem.
If there's no kiss, I don't care how many cutesy wutesy shoelace moments they threw in - I'll be one angry girl!!!

The Harry on the front cover reminds me awfully of the Harry in PS/CoS. Aww.
We can tell from what David Yates said that they've definitely mixed up some of the scenes (as per usual).

I liked that picture of them all in the potions lab. Is that supposed to be Slughorn? If it is he's not as portly as I expected.
Blessings! Hecate3fold?

The plot of this movie/book is probably the best. I hope the trailer shows all of the suspense and threat that I sensed in the book.
