For moviegoers who aren't necessarily impassioned fans of J.K. Rowling's *Harry Potter *series, it's been difficult waiting for the world of warring wizards to reach out into the everyday business going on around each of us. We were left to ask, "If Harry loses to Voldemort, do we care? What's supposed to happen to us muggles?"
The new featured preview of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (.mov) more than hints that answers are headed our way in the sixth film in the series. Revealing London landmarks under assault and other signs of expanded battle, it's clear that this is the kind of action non-Hogwarts graduates have been waiting for in the previous films.
The expanded trailer and behind-the-scenes look also previews the friendship between Harry and Dumbledore (Sir Michael Gambon, right), while hinting at the mentor wizard's eventual fate.
The movie opens July 15.
