Salt, meet wound.  
So, in a feat of ridiculously awful timing, there are a bunch of new Half-Blood Prince images out tonight. Yeah, you're pissed at Warner Bros. but you still want to look anyway, don't you?



OMG, the unbreakable vow. Awesome. Know who's really annoyed with the date change? Entertainment Weekly (from which this photo comes), which has a close-up of Daniel Radcliffe's mug in Harry mode on the cover of its fall movie preview issue out today. Oops! I'm thinking there's an sizeable fruit basket already on its way to the magazine's offices.






A Slug Club dinner, I guess. Likely one in a series of moments in which Harry comes to appreciate the very hotness of Ginny, I'm sure.






Oh, Professor Slughorn. Pasties go on the inside.






Late night wand-waving of some sort. Digging the lavender bathrobe very much.






Necklace of doooooom! I'm very heartened by the presence of Snape in this scene.






If there's spell-casting and Bellatrix, it must be the final fight.




ETA four more:



More memory retrieval, methinks.






Just kiss her, already. Jeez.






Oh, you can see how this is going to get under Hermione's skin. Excellent.






This sure ain't duelling club. Batshit. Crazy.

In conclusion, look at the bright side: you'll forget all about these over the next eleven months, and the whole movie will feel fresh and new...or something. Hey, I'm trying here! Work with me, people!

The Bella + flames pic may be from the Added For Extra Excitement Scene of the Burning of the Burrow At Xmas. Just guessing, of course.

All the Sluggy stuff is awesomesauce and the Unbreakable vow made me squee. (And because I'm a total Helen McCrory geek, of course I have to use icons of her husband instead!)

Ah, could be. That had better not be the Burrow on fire!

I wish we could see more of McCrory in that photo, but what's there looks really good.

I suspect it may be though. I hope not -- it was my fave part of the book. ;)

I am hoping we get some official promos of the baddies sooner than later. At least it'll make the now interminable wait till July a little less painful!

Official promos would be good. But the new batshit insane Bellatrix I just added to this post in the ETA is going a long way for her character, at least.

Oooh, the new piccys are just lovely! As much as I thought Helena-as-Bella was a bit OTT in OotP (I know, I know, there's no way Bella can really be subtle or understated, but she felt a bit too cartoony), she looks awesome there.

I actually like Harry/Ginny so the shippy pic makes me happy. Awwwwww...and damn, don't Ron & Lavender look nice together? *snickers* (I'm all for Ron/Hermione, but I want my boy to get some experience and HBP-Hermione's just a buzzkill!)

As much as the romantic comedy quote was a bit of a WTF moment, I'm actually looking forward to all the shippy stuff in the movie. It should be fun.

I like the canon ships and I like Ron/Lavender so I'm looking forward to seeing how those play out on screen (although, Rupert's reticence about kissing Emma makes me laugh. He's probably afraid those eyebrows will attack him!).
Lady Miss Keever: harryhbppensieve by meganlovesjared[info]keever on August 18th, 2008 02:41 pm (UTC)
Hee! Fear the Watson eyebrows!

Is it me, or is Alan Rickman actually looking younger in this film?
Lady Miss Keever: harryhbppensieve by meganlovesjared[info]keever on August 15th, 2008 04:02 pm (UTC)
It's not just you! The man appears to be aging backwards here.

All I can say is...these last films are going to cause my eyes to melt from tears.
Lady Miss Keever: harryhbppensieve by meganlovesjared[info]keever on August 17th, 2008 07:20 pm (UTC)
I would say "yeah me too, if they do it right" but who am I kidding? They could totally botch it and it would still make me cry.
Elleth: dumbly[info]caoil on August 18th, 2008 04:12 pm (UTC)
Despite my (little) issues with Gambon, I think that movie 6 will really let him bring his game & sell me on his Dumbledore - and see what he was building up over time O I SEE WHUT U DID THAR. At least, I hope so.

I have no doubts about Alan's performance in 7 whatsoever.
Lady Miss Keever: harryhbppensieve by meganlovesjared[info]keever on August 18th, 2008 07:36 pm (UTC)
I have no doubts about Alan ever. ;)

I thought Gambon was so much better in OotP than he was in GoF, which was heartening. Hopefully, the trend will continue in that direction.
