Thanks to DVD Empire we have a photo of the back of the Half-Blood Prince DVD and it has some exciting news on it!  It is uncertain whether this will be in the form of a trailer type clip, or just a behind the scenes look. The DVD says:

Be the first to see footage from “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”

Thanks Leaky!

As I posted last month there are a TON of Special Features on the Half-Blood Prince DVD.  More of the features have been released.

• Close-Up With The Cast of Harry Potter (trt: 28:30) (Hosts Matthew Lewis (“Neville Longbottom”) and Alfred Enoch (“Dean Thomas”) lead us on an entertaining look at the cast of Harry Potter as they explore their interests away from acting and spend a day on set with the production team.)
  • Editing with Daniel Radcliffe: Daniel and editor Mark Day have a light-hearted conversation about film editing and how to get the right shot for a scene
  • Special Effects with Matthew Lewis, Oliver Phelps and Tom Felton: The guys get a “science lesson” from Special Effects Supervisor John Richardson and technician Matthew Harlow.
  • Owl Training with Jessie Cave: Jessie heads outside for training tips with “hootie” and owl trainer Guillaume Grange.
  • Stunt Training with Rupert Grint: Rupert shows off his thrill for danger with the stunt department.
  • Costume Designs with Evanna Lynch: Evanna shares her jewelry designs with Costume Designer Jany Temime.
  • Art with Bonnie Wright: Bonnie and graphic designer Eduardo Lima show off the fun props, products and set designs.
  • Behind the Camera with James Phelps: In his debut performance in the assistant director department, James actually becomes a crew member on set.
  • Make-Up with Emma Watson: Emma and designer Amanda Knight talk about the biggest challenges on this year’s film.
