Warner Brothers just sent over two new clips from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. The first one is of Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint), Hermoine (Emma Watson), and Ginny (Bonnie Wright) all trying to find out what’s inside Harry’s new book, which asks “Who is the Half-Blood Prince?” The second clip involves Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter) shooting out of the sky and yelling “I Killed Sirius Black”and then tricking the Harry and Ginny into a sticky situation.
