Below are two new stills of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.  One is of Harry in Dumbledore’s office and…will if you read the book, you know what is happening. The other still is Lovegood, who is one of my favorite characters of the stories. 

It’s hard to believe that number 6 movie is coming out in four months. Then, there is the 7th book that will be made into two movies.

I can’t wait to say the least.

I am a Harry Potter fan. I read all J.K. Rowling’s books to my daughter.  With November less than half a year away, Warner Bros. let some more production stills out for promotion. My first reaction was “how much those kids have grown.” Knowing the outcome of Half-Blood Prince and the overall plot, the pictures tug at me a little. I am interested. The one with Jim Broadbent as Horace Slughorn the new potions teacher is great.  The picture with Harry and Hermione is beautiful and refreshing. But where is Volt…?
