Trailer Breakdown: Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince

Raging Seas

The wild waters, off, we can only assume, not the coast of Clacton (though the weather fits).

Windswept

"Very powerful," continues ol' Albus as Harry starts to wonder why Dumbledore can't just drop the cryptic schtick and just tell him exactly what's going on.

Caving In

We cut to the pair in a cave that looks like something out of Lord Of The Rings...

Quick Change

A series of flash cuts reveal the likes of Tom Riddle, a magical locket, some fire and a snake... Because it's the symbol of Slytherin, see? Subtle.

Enemy Within

Oh, look.... The snake turned into Voldemort. What. A. Shock.

Man On A Mission

"This time," cautions the big D as he and Harry stand in his office, "I cannot hope to destroy it alone.

Hand To Heart

Someone else gets a go on the voice-over trumpet. It's Arthur Weasley (aka Mark Williams): "Times like these... dark times..." (again with the darkness - they're pushing it hard this time) "...they can bring people together."

Hell Hath No Fury...

"And they can tear them apart," says Arthur, warming to his doom-laden monologue.

Fashion Victim

"These girls," panics Ron, "they're going to kill me, Harry!"

Dark Mark

Time for someone professional to take over for a second as Movie Trailer Guy kicks into his pitch...

Oh, and over a shot of young Malfoy up to no good we hear Remus Lupin say, "Voldemort has chosen Draco Malfoy for a mission." But he's rubbish at completing tasks! You'd think the Dark Lord would have kept a closer watch on him, Sir Alan-style...

Alley Oops

Trailer Guy's back, over a montage (you gotta have a montage) of powerful magic wreaking havoc over London and Diagon Alley being destroyed.

"These are mad times, we live in... mad!" shouts Harold Slughorn (Jim Broadbent), resisting an "I tells ya!"

Open Wide

"AND THE DARKEST HOUR IS UPON US ALL!!!"

"This is beyond anything I imagined." So that's a no, then.

Next, we see poor old Katie Bell tortured by a spell.

Kissy Kissy

"In my life, I have seen things that are truly horrific," says Dumbledore over several bleak pics.

Flying High

Hey look, Quidditch! We thought the films had all but abandoned it

No Pressure...

"You're the chosen one, Harry..." Dumbledore reminds us all over a shot of the students either A) powering up their wands or B) preparing to compete in some school conducting competition.
