The latest trailer for the painful wait to see the movie that is already done and in the can has hit the net. Of course I am talking about Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
I just love how that trailer opens with the pensieve visuals shaping from smoky obstructions in the water into a dream scape imagery. That alone will make this movie worthwhile. The flashback moments in the pensieve were what made this my favourite book of the series. History is exposed, and things start to make sense. We also get a look into what made Voldemort the threat he is at this point and why everyone else is afraid of him.
In the series up until this point everyone refers to Voldemort as “He who must not be named” as everyone in the wizarding world is still terrified of him. Harry, being thrown into this world uses his proper name all the time. Not because he is so ballsy, but that he just doesn’t seem to think saying his name is all that scary. He doesn’t get it. And as the reader you also don’t feel that foreboding of the most terrifying magician of the Wizarding world.
It was this book that finally elevated Voldemort into the terror he is, and this evolution is also a parallel into his resurrection as he is becoming stronger and more a threat again. We see what everyone else already knows at the same time as he rises back to the same level of power he once had.
I so can’t wait for this chapter!
