Aside from Star Wars, there is one series that tops the anticipation list of upcoming trailers every so often. When the trailer is released, thousands of people download it and watch it over and over and over. And when seeing a movie in the theater you feel your legs tense and your fingers digging into the arm rests of the chair in glee when the opening music tomes and the Warner Brothers symbol graces the screen in an eerie blue, creepy dark fashion that they have come to embrace.

I speak of course about the new Harry Potter trailers. With only 2 books left to cover, and 3 movies to go until the grand finale, the next chapter to await millions of viewers in drooling anticipation is the Half Blood Prince story. The story, if you have not read it yet, is the grand ramp for the final story. Opening tons of doors, answering some questions and unraveling into many more questions to be answered later, Half Blood Prince does not disappoint as a book, let’s hope it doesn’t as a film. It has something for everyone, as the trailer so generously displays: war, drama, young love, and epic battles.

Without further dismay, here is the Harry Potter International Trailer:
