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!

Nah...I think he might have been just referring to a particular scene (with the Burrow). They just HAVE to kiss...I mean that is one of the climaxes of the book! He'd be crazy to cut that bit out.

I hope Harry and Ginny kiss. I think maybe they are referring to one particular scene. Why wouldn't they let them kiss? *worries*

Wait. They don't kiss? They don't kiss?! But they kiss in the book! They HAVE to kiss. I mean, he practically made out with Cho in the fifth movie...
They had better to this movie right!
Oh well. Our first peek of the sixth movie is definitely exciting.

Ooh, I love the picture. In almost all the pictures I've seen of Harry so far, he looks so so deep in thought and terribly sad. Sigh. Poor Harry.

Um, I'm going to need that first kiss between Harry and Ginny! This better be a secondary kiss we're talking about here!
The pics look amazing, telling of the type of movie we are to expect, definitely can't wait!

Fantastic, now we just need a teaser trailer. I honestly can't wait, but at the same, I can't believe we're already on the sixth movie! It's all ending so fast (not to sound like a total downer or anything haha)!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY'RE ABOUT TO KISS?
And what is this about a stand-alone film??
We've really been kept in the dark in terms of news with HBP, but even with the few tidbits I already have a growing feeling of dread in my stomach. This sounds all bad...

Finally, a new picture! Wow, I really like it, poor Harry all bloodied up! What is David Yates saying about "almost kissing" when in the book, Harry kisses Ginny in front of everyone after the Quidditch match! I can't wait for this film, hurry up with the teaser trailer please!
