A new International trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is online, and this one focuses more on the connection of Horace Slughorn, a former teacher of Tom Riddle, the man who would become Voldemort.
Check it out.
I love this chapter, because this is where it all comes together. All the setup, side plot and adventures lead to this book and the big questions start to get answered. This is the quest that Harry was born to go on, and in his last year in Hogwarts (such a good rolemodel… highschool dropout) he realizes his destiny, finds out the truth behind Voldemort’s dark past and takes off into the climax.
This is the Empire Strikes Back of the series to me. Its where everything MATTERS and everything makes sense and you know what needs to be done. And in the next chapter is just the conclusion. Sure it will be a satisfying end of the franchise when the last epic conflict gets broken into two parts, but it all comes together here.
This is the one chapter they cannot afford to mess up. I am sure they will leave plenty of the book out. I expect that, but this is where they need to drive home those side bits.
