Hogwarts Herald

Below is a trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince that was originally made for the Japanese market and has since been floating around the Internet.

This is an interesting trailer as it has Daniel Radcliffe introducing the trailer to Japan and even saying a few words in Japanese. It starts with the scene with Harry apparating with Dumbledore for the first time. It then shows the scene of what appears to be one of the special meals that the new Potions professor has with the students he thinks show promise of becoming important/influential wizards. It also has the odd scene that I really do not think is in the book at all with Harry and Hermione in the library and him boasting he is the chosen one after Hermione says a girl is only interested in him because he is the chosen one and then Hermione hits him on the head with a newspaper. It then has a montage of scenes about Albus Dumbledore revealing to Harry the mission he wants him to complete relating to retrieving the memory from Professor Slughorn, which certainly makes this a very revealing trailer for those who have not seen the book and in my opinion kind of gives it away too early. It also has several scenes relating to the end part when Dumbledore and Harry go on the mission to get one of the horcruxes, although, if you have not read about that in the book those scenes will not seem very obvious. It ends with Dumbledore saying “You are the chosen one, Harry. You must not fail.”
