As if we haven't had enough, a new TV spot for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, aired this morning, causing many fans to groan for the 12th time in a row.  While few snippets in the category of scenes appears in the peek, new audio from Dumbledore also makes its debut.  

View the new TV spot here thanks to HDTVSpots on Youtube, and remember that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince opens July 15, 2009.

A new video which previews the Half-Blood Prince video game has appeared on Youtube.  The video not only gives away new scenes, but interviews from key cast members such as Daniel Radcliffe, Bonnie Wright, Emma Watson, and several of the people who created the games magic.  Narrated by Tom Felton (Draco), the video is fun and entertaining.  As the video quotes, "It's probably the most complete [Hogwarts] castle we've built yet."  It's sure to be exciting. June 30 is when the video game hits stores.

You can see the video by clicking here and you can order the game from Amazon by clicking here.

First seen in the Half-Blood Prince teaser trailer and then seen at the MTV Awards, the full clip of the notorious 'Tom Riddle meets Dumbledore' scene has now been released onto a canadian website.  Named as, 'Extended Trailer', you can now see the clip on Dose.ca by clicking here.  We believe and are almost positive that this is not the full scene, based on other parts of this scene we have been shown through trailers and specials.  Also worth noting is a look back at the past five Potter movies.  That retrospect video can be seen here.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince comes out July 15, 2009.

Readers may have noticed the recent change to Youtube as Half-Blood Prince ads flew around the site.  Not only are the Half-Blood Prince Banners now the current ad for videos, but the sidebar ad is undoubtably Half-Blood Prince-related.  Currently sporting a TV Spot for the upcoming movie, "Create your own potions and 3D videos!" is the new thing to do.  You can now upload  a video of yourself creating a potion on the site.

Check the ads out here, and be sure to visit the Harry Potter official channel, here.

Emma Watson updated her site today in regards to the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.  Emma reports that filming is doing "good".  Most readers took note to the comment she made about a particular film she was filming, where Slughorn's Party was involved.  Emma says:

"It's amazing to be working with him. It's also great because I have been eating profiteroles ALL DAY at Slughorn's dinner party!!!"

We know that a profiterole isn't the easiest thing to imagine, so the image above is actually one.  Read the blog entry written by Emma herself by  clicking here, in order to get the big bold Emma Watson-ess of it all.  Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince opens November 21, 2008.
