Sorry guys but 'The Dark Knight' was a bit crap
Made you look.
Hello babies!
So, we finally have the Half-Blood Prince teaser trailer! WHO'S EXCITED? I fucking love it. I love how it's all about Riddle! I love the sentence they picked for the final ~DRAMATIC SENTENCE~! (Who remembers Hermione whimpering "Everything's going to change now, isn't it?" This owns that approximately a million times.) I love how the whole thing's sort of tinted to show how HARDCORE this film is going to be! I love how Dumbledore uses doilies to label his memories! I don't love Dumbledore, because I think Gambon's Dumbledore is kind of crap (this is not Richard Harris nostalgia, because I was also not a fan of his Dumbledore either - why can't they get Dumbledore right? You know what the problem is? He lacks humour. They don't even bother trying to get Dumbledore's humour right, because they don't see it as his most important characteristic, whereas I would argue that his humour and permanent eye-twinkle is his most defining characteristic - but anyway). Anyway, who cares? This trailer is sexcellent. HP, I have missed you. ♥__♥
I'm mainly posting to talk about the two sections of the trailer that seem to be up for debate. Firstly, because let's face it I am her whore, let's talk Ginny. After much chat with my sister, I have decided that no she is in fact not standing there whipping Harry something. The facts as they stand are:
+ She is wearing a dressing gown
+ Her hair is wet
+ She is by water at night (not a hundred percent sure on this one - for a split-second I thought she was back in the Chamber, but despite the awesomeness of the arc theory, that would not make sense at all)
+ She has her wand at first, but then her hand goes back - either she is doing magic with a whip-like motion or someone is cursing her.
It seems to me that the options are that she is by the lake at Hogwarts, or by the pond at The Burrow, or she's followed Harry and Dumbledore to The Cave in her pyjamas (and if that is the case, then sorry WB, but you have just crossed the line from canon-extension to canon-fuckery), and it seems likely that she's involved in some kind of confrontation.
My conclusion (and it depends on the truth of the rumour about the addition of a Christmas Death Eater attack on The Burrow - can this rumour be trusted? Has it been confirmed?) is that what seems the most likely is that she is at The Burrow, she has been swimming, and she has just been expelliarmus-ed.
In which case, if the great Fanon Truth of Weasley-centric porn (namely that the Weasley children often go skinny-dipping at midnight in their pond by themselves and that Harry/Hermione/Sirius/preferred other is always out for a walk in the garden to clear his or her head at this exact moment and happens to spy the naked hottie and think, Hmm, sexytimes) is about to be realized in cinematic form then I reckon it's safe to say Yates has been reading fanfic.
The other interesting part of the trailer is the running-through-the field segment. Firstly, we have someone running, possibly (probably?) being chased, through a field in the middle of the day. This person has a wand, but apart from that I can't be sure of who it is. I think it's male, and it could be Harry, but I really don't know. Secondly, we have someone (something?) standing in the field breathing heavily in a villanious way.
Do you think it could be Fenrir Greyback? Which maybe means that the running person could be Lupin? But I admit this is very far-fetched, and even if they did have a flashback to Lupin's bite, then it is hardly likely they'd put the flashback in the trailer. So maybe Greyback after Harry? OK, I have no clue. That whole field thing is odd.
Caps are here at hbpmoviepics, if anyone's interested. The zip file didn't take me long to download, but I didn't have WinRAR to open it with, but you can get a free trial of that here, and that only takes a minute to download and install, as well. And then you can unzip your caps and watch a slow sideshow of them while making annoyed comments about how Riddle should look slightly more alarmed by all his worldly possessions bursting into flame, which my sister and I took great delight in doing.
And oh yes GINNY YOU LOOK FITTT RAWR you know how happy this is making me, everyone.
So, can anyone tell me if there's been any complaint about the extra Harry/Ginny scenes they're adding? Because I have a post about why this is a good thing floating around in my head, but I don't want to write a rebuttal to non-existent rants.
A pathetic point this, but: pre-HBP Harry/Ginny shippers, I would like to point out that this is the first trailer in which there is more Ginny than there is Hermione. My children, it is finally here. This is the symbol of our victory.
One last thing: I would like to add that this trailer has been beautifully shot (I don't own OotP and haven't seen it since the cinema so don't know if I should have been expecting this). I hope so so much that this means this film is going to be taken somewhat seriously. This thought is making me jump in my seat, because honestly, it's about time.
And omg, look at my icon. Just look at it. I am in love with it. THAT IS SO HARRY'S FAVOURITE SMILEY.
p.s. Just found out from IMDb - mini Tom Riddle is being played by Ralph Fiennes' nephew?! TOO MUCH LOL.
