MTV has announced that they will be airing an extended behind-the-scenes feature on the making of Half-Blood Prince, which will include commentary from producer David Heyman, next week during their summer movie preview.

I will post a video as soon as one comes online!!!!!

Entertainment Weekly has posted a list of the 20 Summer Movies We Can’t Wait to See, it is also in this weeks issue of the magazine.  Thanks to HPANA we have the article from the magazine:

The wait is over. Warner Bros.’ adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince finally hits theaters July 15. “You know the headline on this one, of course,” says Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid) of the franchise’s sixth installment. SPOILER ALERT! “It’s the one where Dumbledore [Michael Gambon] pops his claws.” (If you’re not hip to Coltrane’s lingo, well …mystery preserved). It’s also the one where we learn Voldemort’s origin story—although there’s much less of it in the movie than in the book. Screenwriter Steve Kloves says he chose “a few key memories instead of attempting to include all of them.” Half-Blood Prince also emphasizes Harry’s relationship with Professor Slughorn (Jim Broadbent), the Potions teacher who holds a secret to Voldemort’s past, plus teen-romance intrigue involving Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and Ginny (Bonnie Wright), as well as Ron (Rupert Grint), Hermione (Emma Watson), and newcomer Lavender Brown (Jessie Cave). “The last film was quite intense with all that battle stuff,” says Grint. “This one is a lot lighter and much funnier.” Not that the film lacks thrills. “I worked with a giant spider,” says Broadbent. “Bloody marvelous.”

Four new Half-Blood Prince posters have now been released by Yahoo Movies!. They are: Ginny & Ron in their Quidditch gear, Harry & Dumbledore, Hermione and Slughorn in front of Hogwarts and Draco & Snape in the corridors.

See all 4 HERE! (my favorite is the Hermione one)

I believe I am the first to post the new trailer, thanks to my Facebook addiction! The new Half-Blood Prince trailer is now online, thanks to Facebook and Hulu!  Hopefully WB sends a higher res version and download links, they said around 9, so it should be any minute. I’ll update this post.

UPDATE: Here are the download links, (I took out the Hulu video to shorten the post, ha ha):

The Associated Press has a new article online where they state a reason for the HBP date change:

“Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” now is opening Wednesday, July 15, two days earlier than its previous release date, Warner Bros. head of distribution Dan Fellman said Tuesday.

That gives the movie a head-start on the weekend during what’s shaping up as a highly competitive summer season for Hollywood, which has major franchise films opening virtually every week.

“Every day the kids are out of school in summer is just like an extra Saturday,” Fellman said.

USA today has a new artcle where they preview the new HBP Trailer, you can find it HERE online and it is also in the actual newspaper.

“Once you’re hooked into these stories, it’s really difficult to let go,” director David Yates says. “The audience has grown up with these characters. I think that gives them a very special relationship. I can’t think of any other movie franchise that has had that. They started out at 10 or 11, and now they’re 18 and 19.”

There are also seven new photos that you can find HERE!
