A new trailer for the sixth Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, has been released. I like this one a lot more than the first -- everything from the presentation of the story, to the humor (the interactions between Ron and Harry, and Hermione and Harry, are hilarious and well-done), to the effects (the smokiness of the memories is beautifully done, and looks even better in motion than it does in the frame below), to the almost-triumphant and engaging new rendition of the main theme at the end. I'm looking forward to this film a lot more after this trailer than I was before.
As has been the progression with the series, this film looks even darker (both in content and in color palette) than the its predecessors.
-- Mild SPOILER ALERT for those who haven't read the books --
There are a number of scenes included in the trailer, some of them short enough that one has to go frame-by-frame to really appreciate them. Especially of note (for awesomeness) is the Inferi scene:
And . . . could this be . . . ?
On a side note, does anyone know what these smokey things are? It's been a year and a half since I last read the book, so I may just be forgetting, but they're pictured a number of times throughout the trailer:
I'd love to hear your thoughts, so leave them in the comments!

Upon further searching around the interwobs, it appears that the smokey things destroying the bridge are in one of the opening scenes of the film, which show the destruction of a Muggle bridge by Voldemort's forces -- something mentioned in the book, but not dwelt upon.
