Luna can see your nipples with her x-ray glasses... You should get that mole checked out

Photo: Warner Bros. As it is beginning to seem inevitable that a trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will debut any day now rumors are beginning to swirl and spread like wildfire. The big story earlier this week was how the a 15 second (yes, 15 second) teaser would be show in front of The Dark Knight on July 18. That has not been confirmed by anyone at Warner Bros. just yet and is beginning to seem less likely. A new rumor popped up today over at The Leaky Cauldron saying a full length teaser may be attached to Star Wars: The Clone Wars when it opens on August 15. This is a far more likely scenario considering a Potter trailer would help attract attention to a film it seems only hardcore Star Wars fans are truly interested in.

Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy in Warner Bros. Pictures' fantasy "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince..

Photo: Warner Bros. Pictures Warner Bros. has just sent over six brand new images from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in nice hi-res quality. On top of that it appears the sixth film is going to be going quite dark, something I don't exactly remember from the book, as Daniel Radcliffe, Harry Potter, tells "Empire" magazine, "There's a fair amount of sexual energy and drug parallels... We have a couple of what David Yates, the director, calls our 'Trainspotting moments.'" I don't know what that means, perhaps plenty of heroin use, neglected children and Beatles homages... who knows? However, for you, I am sure the pictures are what you came to see.

In the latest issue of Empire, director David Yates remarked that the sixth franchise entry will offer "sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll". Responding to his director's comments, Radcliffe said: "There's obviously no sex in the book, it's all subtext, but there is a fair amount of sexual energy and there are some drug parallels. "We have a couple of what David calls our 'Trainspotting moments'. That's two films I never thought would (more)

Latest: The father of the teenage Harry Potter star who was fatally stabbed outside a London bar on Saturday morning has been remembered as a "kind and thoughtful" son by his grieving parents.

Rob Knox, who plays Hogwarts student Marcus Belby in the upcoming Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, died after reportedly trying to defend his younger brother Jamie from an attacker outside Metro bar in south east London.

In a statement, the tragic actor's parents, Sally and Colin Knox, said, "Rob was kind and thoughtful and would always help out others. He would always spent his last penny on other people instead of himself. The life and soul of the party, he was very outgoing, loved sports and would always strike up conversation with people.

"He was respectful to others and adored by all his family and friends. He was an asset to the family."

Knox had just completed filming of the latest Harry Potter film and had signed on to appear in the seventh film in the franchise, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, when tragedy struck.

As Wenn went to press police were still questioning a 21-year-old suspect.

Young Harry Potter actor Robert Knox has been stabbed to death after attempting to save his brother from a knife attack in Kent, southeast England.

The 18-year-old, who won the role of Marcus Belby in the forthcoming film Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, sustained multiple stab wounds on Friday night, after becoming embroiled in an argument with two armed men who had threatened his 17-year-old brother Jamie.

Four other men were stabbed following the brawl - which reportedly stemmed from the theft of a cell phone - at the Metro Bar in Sidcup, Kent.

Knox was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich, southeast London, but was pronounced dead on arrival.

A police inquiry into the murder has now been opened.

A spokesperson for the authorities says, "At this early stage, we retain an open mind as to any motive, and inquiries continue to establish the full circumstances of the incident. We do not believe the incident is gang-related."

Executives at Warner Bros. Studio, which produces the Harry Potter movies, have released a statement expressing their condolences to Knox's relatives.

It reads, "We are all shocked and saddened by this news and at this time out sympathies are with his family."

Latest: Moviemakers have confirmed the Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows adaptation will be split into two separate full-length films - a decision approved by author J.K. Rowling.

Director David Yates, who helmed the fifth and six movies in the boy wizard franchise, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, has signed up to make Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part I, and Part II.

Star Daniel Radcliffe insists the decision to split the final Potter book was unavoidable.

He says, "I think it's the only way you can do it without cutting out a huge portion of the book. There have been compartmentalized subplots in the other books that have made them easier to cut - although those cuts were still to the horror of some fans - but the seventh book doesn't really have any subplots. It's one driving, pounding story from the word go."

However, producer David Heyman has denied reports the book is being split to make the Potter franchise more money.

He says, "I swear to you it was born out of purely creative reasons. Unlike every other book, you cannot remove elements of this book."

And Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has given the decision her blessing. Heyman adds, "I went to Jo, and she was cool with it and that was quite a relief."

The seventh Potter film will be released in November 2010, with the eighth and final installment slated for a May 2011 release.

The last installment in the Harry Potter movie franchise may be released in two parts - because one edit of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows could leave out too much information about the boy wizard's final adventures. The sixth film in the series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, is due for release in November, and although the characters' futures are wrapped up in just seven novels by author J.K. Rowling, fans of the movies will be given an extra treat with a double dose of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. A source says, "There's so much to fit that the view is the last movie should be in two halves. There is a huge battle when Harry, played by Daniel Radcliffe, takes on (evil wizard, Lord) Voldemort (played by Ralph Fiennes) that needs to be done really well." And Rowling has briefly commented on the reports herself, stating on her website: "It is simply impossible to incorporate every storyline into a film under four hours long." Fans of the books have previously criticized the big-screen adaptations for their lack of detail.
