The movie is less than four months away, and this is the first preview released.

And that's a pretty good way of showing the core of this story. Voldemort doesn't show up at all in Half-Blood Prince. However, a lot is revealed about his past. I was expecting more footage of the GOOD GUYS, but this works.
Ah well, it's not like I have long to wait. And David Yates did a wonderful job directing the last movie, and Nicholas Hooper did the best score of all the movies so far. And they're both back for this one. Yates will also direct Deathly Hallows, but there's no word who'll score it.
John Williams has shown interest in returning (he scored the first three). I hope he doesn't. His work always sounds too similar. And Goblet and Phoenix each just had a sound that I liked a hell of a lot better.
