J.K. Rowling fanatics can get a fresh peek at Dumbledore, Hermoine and the rest of the Hogwarts gang with Thursday’s release of previously unseen footage from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Not that moviegoers’ appetites need whetting: Advance sales for the schoolboys ‘n’ sorcerers sequel are hogging up 65 percent of advance ticket sales on Fandango.com, outpacing even Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen as the year’s hottest ticket.
The new podcast, “Being Me Has Its Privileges,” follows Harry Potter (played by Daniel Radcliffe), Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) as they explore a cave with plans to destroy Voldemort’s Horcruxes. Get the free download from the iTunes Store.
Also available Thursday in Apple’s App Store: a free, interactive iPhone app that re-creates Dumbledore’s Pensieve device, enabling users to unlock “memory vials” containing videos, posters and character info from the new movie.
See the latest trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which opens Wednesday, below.
