Rupert Talks Teaser Trailer With MTV

MTV has a new interview with actor Rupert Grint, in which he talks about the recently released Half-Blood Prince teaser trailer.

When asked about some of the negative fan reactions to the trailer (a.k.a. too-much-Riddle-not-enough-everything-else complaints), Rupert said: "It’s only a teaser, just to get people excited."

Despite being Riddle-centric (no complaints here), the teaser trailer did show us a glimpse of Rupert's character, Ron, who is shown on the ground after being poisoned.

“He gets poisoned quite a bit in this film,” Grint laughed, referring to Romilda Vane’s chocolate cauldrons and Slughorn's tainted firewhisky. “That was a really fun scene,” Grint said.

HBP Rumors: Teaser Trailer to Screen With Dark Knight? HBP Footage at Comic-Con?

There are several tidbits floating the web today regarding the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince film.

First up, Leaky is reporting that they have received several emails from US theaters, including Regal Ciniemas, saying that the long-awaited Half-Blood Prince teaser trailer, will be attached to the beginning of the new Batman film, The Dark Knight, which hits theaters on July 18. While Dark Knight is a Warner Brothers film and WB is running out of films to screen the trailer, please keep this is in the rumor bin until we receive some official confirmation.

Next, there are rumors that some HBP footage will be shown during the WB panel at this year's Comic-Con in San Diego the weekend of July 24-27. This may be a repeat of the footage apparently aired at Cinema Expo last week. Once again, regard this bit of news as a rumor; Comic-Con is expected to post a detailed list of the event's programming within the next coming weeks.

On a related note, Sky Magazine recently featured a HBP set teaser. Though the brief article says very little on the film itself, it does feature a new picture of Rupert Grint as Ron in the film, which you can view here.
