Obviously this movie has not been released yet, but I know I am not the only one who feels as though it has been. From high resolution images, to about a hundred clips released online, you could probably put together a montage and watch Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince from beginning to end based purely on the teasers.

It has gotten to the point where they can’t even rightly be called ‘teasers’ anymore. There is nothing teasing about constructing the majority of a film before it’s release date, and it is starting to get a little irritating.

But as for the quality of the clips themselves, the movie looks pretty solid. In fact, it looks much better than those that have come before it, which have a habit of skimming across the story like a water-bug, never delving under the surface where the books held most of their depth.

We also get a lot more screentime with the more seasoned actors on the set, such as Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman, and Michael Gambon, and even Helena Bonham Carter, and Jason Issacs. It is nice to know that it won’t all be about the kids this time around, as those who have read the books know that the adults take on a much greater role from here on out.
